Jul. 9th, 2003 11:21 amFor LJers who've a little bit of synidication points still to spend who just can't read enough of my barf & junk, there is the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jmac_media_log feed. Add it to your friends list and you will be notified the moment that I make another log entry about how reading some book reminds me of pie, or something. Clearly you need more of that in your life.
The media log site itself is still butt-ugly, since I haven't put any time into improving its design, even as I've started to put more content into it. I'm really tired of the all-text "design" style that pervades jmac.org, carried over from when I was a fanboy of Zarf's austere design aesthetic. Well... I still am, to an extent, but there are just some places where it's not appropriate. (See, for example, the look Zarf's own Left Foot Living Review newsletter, still quite basic but with just a touch of visual a-ha to make it right.) The media log needs color, as does the jmac.org front page. I have some ideas for each, but it'd been so long since I've formally learned anything about Web design (most of what I know is from 1996) that I've little idea about the best way to implement them now.
Hmmm. Hey. You know what? I bet I could fart around with learning some formal web-app design skills (Zeldman has a website, after all, even if his book is proving hard to find) and call it billable work time. I mean, this is supposed to be my job, after all. Neatos. /me pats self on back.
