Black is the New Black

Published 6 April 05 by Justin French, 3 comments

I loved the white, I really do, but the reason I went for black way back then was because most of my real work (the stuff that pays the bills) ends up on a nice safe white background, so black was a form mini protest to all my clients who insisted I use white, light blue or f__king beige because it was “more legible”.

After 153 days of white, I still prefer the black, so it’s here to stay. Sorry if you feel differently.

The good news is that having one style sheet instead of two will mean I can implement a redesign a lot faster, and I’m already inspired for a little redesign.

Speaking of which, in 112 days time, this site will be 1 year old, so I’ll be aiming for a complete overhaul around that time, and if all goes to plan, it will be using TextThing instead of Textpattern.
