Redesigning

Redesigning the blog for a simpler, more mobile-friendly experience.
After it started raining I decided to redesign my blog. There wasn't much reason other than looking for a fun project to work on and finding the old version increasingly tough on the eyes (plus terrible on the phone). The new version is simpler, responsive for mobile, and has bigger fonts (for whatever that's worth). I'd like to say this means I'm going to write more, but that doesn't seem all that likely. I mean I'll do my best (and have the last few days), but it's amazing how often life gets in the way of blogging. One of the amazing things about RSS feeds and email subscriptions, though, is that it doesn't really matter how frequently I actually update this thing because you'll hear about it. For what it's worth I've also got a Twitter feed for new posts from the blog at @NoahBrier. One of the things I've been thinking about lately is that it feels like there's a big opportunity for blogs again. While everything has gotten shorter, it's left a pretty wide door open for folks who want to write thoughtful stuff. I think it's why we've seen thoughtful bloggers ascend quickly (someone like Horace at Asymco comes to mind). Again, not sure that means I'll write more, but it certainly feels like a good time to be doing so.
