What is in Kelvin's Head?

Blog Redesign

I’ve spent the morning of my day off doing a little refreshing of the blog design.

I decided that it was time to say goodbye to the design that I’ve been using for ages and move to something a little more minimalist. (Did I ever tell you that I was a minimalist in my heart?)

This incarnation is a little cooler and a little calmer than that which we’ve been looking at hitherto.

I hesitate to ask what you think, because somehow it is what I think of the design that matters I suspect. However, comments as always, are welcome.

    I like the clarity of the new design, not that I didn’t like the old design this one is just sharper I think – but you do seem to have a problem with your 100 things page.

        Well the numbering still isn’t how I count but that might be indicitive of thing 100!

    I like it! Starck-y and Nordic 🙂 Impressed that your commitment to minimalism means that there’s now only seems to be *one* photo of yourself at the top too 😉

        lol! Well, in the interests of minimalism,you could try having but one photo per month (good enough for the Cheryl Cole Official Calendar after all ;-))

        (NB I do like the disclaimer at the bottom too!)

          Yes – I decided that the disclaimer was wise. I did think about saying that the views expressed on the blog may not represent the views of Kelvin Holdsworth, but not everyone gets irony, do they?

        Hmm, surely Provosts should be entitled to add a “(except when speaking ex cathedra)” clause too though ;-)?

    I’m one of the sad people who can be put off by change – still haven’t got used to my own recent reworking of my own blog – but who am I to argue with the captain of the Enterprise? 😉

    You can’t see whether you are wearing a biretta, fedora or beret… I’m a bit intimidated by ‘Speak your mind’ where there used to be the invitation to ‘comment’ (or was it ‘reply’ ) – sounds like the bridge scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But actually, the design is very smart.

      Thanks Alison – I am prepared to confirm that I was wearing a hat.

      I agree about the “Speak your mind” phrase and I’ve changed it to “Make a comment”

    I find it very white, almost antiseptically so. I wish there was a bit more contrast.
