It’s that time again! That time when JJ gets so sick of staring at her previous layout that she feels the need to do a site redesign. This was one was a long time coming as the last time I changed the look was back in September. (It feels so much longer than that.)

I’d been wrestling with this redesign for a while because I wanted to keep it looking clean, almost periodical/zine-like (after all, what’s the point in having lots of images when I deal so much with words?). I struggled for months before scrapping a previous design entirely and coming up with this one in about 2.5 hours. The very small amount of time I devoted to it is entirely due to the fact that I relied heavily on the 960 grid system. (Thanks for the tip, Ivy!)

I will back later today with a publishing blog post. This week I will be focusing on character development. Stay tuned!
