I had an odd experience recently. I saw someone's weblog outside my aggregator. I don't think I'd ever looked at this person's website in a browser before. And it wasn't at all what I expected it to look like. Which made me realize that I don't look at my weblog or anyone else's through anything other than an aggregator these days. Apart from search engines and work related sites, where I use a browser, an aggregator is now my primary web UI - I had barely noticed the move away from a browser until the above site made me realize the shift in habit. I fired up a browser and went to my own weblog. It did not look good. Overlapping div boxes (I have a lot of mail going back months asking me to fix that - sorry), sickly pale blue and white, maroon quotes. Blech. So I've changed it to a monotone (I've been watching film noir lately), except for the links. They're a bit washed out, I need to change that. I also need to tweak the font size, But I think it looks ok - simple and clean. I think a few drops of color here and there in an entry could be used with interesting effect when everything else is monotone....
