I recently updated my personal blog/portfolio with a new design.

My aim was for a simple, clean design - I wanted to target traffic towards my Work and my Flickr account. I also wanted my Blog to be viewed, so I designed around these aims.

It is good but not as good as v2 I think it was. The one with the grassy header.

This was a remake of V2 - because I agree v2 had a nice layout... so I tried to make it better, and I think I have.

You can see all of V2's banners here:
http://www.files.wized.net/looks/wv2banners/

1 is now used in the current version.
2,3 and 4 where experiments.
5 and 6 where the last ones used in the version.

I switched between them when I felt like a change.

There may be a return of the old banners in the future, I will see. smile.gif

    • The awesome
  • The randomly chosen pictures from Flickr is nice. Keeps it fresh happy.gif
  • Nice simplistic design
  • Everything works well with nice, clean code
  • (Slightly offtopic) your photos are sweeeet.
    • The bad
  • You like APPLE. Just kiddin' :-P
  • Some minor spelling/grammar *shrug*
    • The suggestions
  • The favicon (3 leaf clover) doesn't quite seem to fit the theme in general. (If there was a clover next to the name of the site at the top maybe it'd fit better. *shrug* There just isn't any green besides the favicon.)
  • (I'm sorry these are ridiculously picky, but) on the "work" page, the spacing is a bit weird, because of the new lines for some of them. The horizontal spacing is the same as the vertical spacing between the sections, and there's no spacing between new lines. (Does that make sense?) It's a little bit confusing. I'd try making the vertical spacing on newlines in the same category the same as the horizontal space, and then make the space between categories slightly larger. Maybe double. *shrug*

Cheers for the imput, the favicon has been the same since version 1. I have never changed this, because I included it in the first version smile.gif
Also, I'm from Ireland... so that's why that's there smile.gif

I will change the spacing up now, never saw that before... good point smile.gif

Ps. If you gave Apple a chance... you'd find you love them to smile.gif haha
wozzym
apples are easier to use and all around cleaner smile.gif Good job. My eyes have a hard time with black backgrounds :/

Looks very sexy. You can definately see Apple's influence on your design.
