For the past year or so, I’ve been collecting links to websites that I liked - some for their aesthetics, others for their great blogs or bookmark pages. Eventually, my web places page turned into a huge pile of different links, making it impossible to find anything. So, I decided to clean it up a little, add links to RSS feeds, and include short descriptions. I think all these pages deserve better representation in the end. I also merged the webrings and communities sections and added descriptions to them too.
After a few weeks of using a grayscale color scheme, I realized it was much harder to distinguish links and highlighted words from the rest of the text, so I decided to bring back color - nothing fancy, just classic blue links. Grayscale looked cool, though!
And lastly, I increased the layout width to 800px - I find it easier to read this way, but I’m still choosing between 800px and 900px. I’ll experiment with different values for a while and see which one fits best.
I really like how the website turned out. The simpler it becomes, the fewer things can break, so I’m not obsessing over fixing and changing stuff all the time. I’ll try to keep everything simple. (If at some point you notice that this site becomes complicated, please email me and tell my stupid ass to calm down.)
