If you've read this blog with any regularity, this will come as no surprise, I changed the look! Now I've heard a few people comment that I change the look of this blog as often as I change my underwear. Well, I'm at it again.
If you think I have nothing better to do with my time, think again.
I want for you what I want for myself, abundance. Abundance of knowledge and inspiration when it comes to multimedia and the art of creating it. I want it fast and easy, "just get me to the good stuff." That's what I hope this new design will do.
Here's what's swimming around in my head, besides my larger than life ego.
All the Categories are gone. Not really gone, but I've changed them into features, look left and right, you can't miss 'em. The front page of the blog will only show the most recent post. I will blog more often—so cancel your email subscriptions now, cuz I'm gonna blog whenever the hell I feel like it–and i'll cover things outside of traditional journalism. I hope to make the posts shorter and sweeter, more focused. Here's the run down of what you'll be getting:
BUZZED
This is where I'll go on my alcohol and caffeine fueled rants…….more of those I promise.
SMOKE THIS!
If it "moves" and it's 'on FIRE' then you'll find it here. This is where I'll post all the non-journalism related multimedia.
HEAR THIS!
Home for all the multimedia jobs that I hear about, and maybe a little 'chisme.'
SHOW ME
Home for tutorials, more of these, I promise.
INSERT PODCAST HERE
Enough said, yeah yeah, I promise.
CRY BABY…
Links to industry news about the death of newspapers or interesting articles about our changing industry.
FEED ME INSPIRATION!
Links to the best of journalism multimedia.
EXPOSED!
A place to feature portfolio websites of individual artists.
NERD IN A BOX
It has taken me a few years to come out of the box with my 'nerdiness' "Hi, my name is Richard and I'm a nerd." This is the place to let my inner geek out of the box. Expect gear talk, Star Wars, graphic novels, gadgets, etc.
DON'T READ THIS!
This is where you come in. I'll write book reviews on industry relevant items and link to them, if you like them buy them from the MMS bookstore or click on the link and Amazon sends me a few pennies.
enjoy or not,

Looks good! I first thought I typed the wrong address. Had me in shock for 5 sec. Love the new category icons.

Best look so far.
Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer the previous design … It was clean and easy. But no worries. I read via my Google feedreader anyways.
Love the new icons
I like the look, at first I thought I typed in the wrong address, but then started looking around because of the cool design. It looks good!
Who designed the illustrations ?

Awesome.. thanks for keeping us all informed and in the loop..
Nice. I actually didn’t like the old format as things (posts, sidebars) tended to run together.
This format, while maybe not as “clean” seem better organized.
