Janko At Warp Speed in a new suit
After 8 months of being live, JankoAtWarpSpeed just got a new suit. Like
everything else in life, blogs also has to be refreshed from time to time. Not
only that, at one point of time one design just don't serve the purpose anymore.
That's what happened to my old design. The layout, post rendering, comments, and
many other elements just become unusable.
The old JankoAtWarpSpeed
So, what's new?
First of all (and the most obvious) there is no The Guy in the header.
Although many of my readers suggested not to remove the header, that is really
something I had to do. It just didn't fit in the current design. I changed the
navigation significantly. Categories are not longer invisible element on the
site, but rather serves as main navigation.
Posts are redesigned. Each post have "share box" with social media links and little comment cloud on the right of the title. Comments are a little bit "shrinked" and aligned to read more easily. Comment form is also redesigned.
There are new features in the sidebar. I added heart-shaped-links to my
profiles on different social media sites. There is now Favorite posts section
that will be managed manually :) There is also Top Commenters section that will
show four most active readers on JankoAtWarpSpeed for the last 90 days.
I need some time to see how the site will work. Meanwhile, there will be more
features and retouches.
So,
I hope you will like the new design. But (what is most important) I hope it
will be more usable than before. Any consctructive criticism?
