In Brief: Assumption Hiatus
Here is your regular Sunday selection of links to good things in Blogville and Beyond. There is not much activity out there, it being summer and all, but a few people are still posting.
"We know, we know: our template sucks."
ReplyDeleteWha--? Who's complaining? I think Ionarts is one of the cleanest-looking blogs out there, and the eye collage is at this point a very recognizable (and possibly marketable) graphic.
You could certainly add more bells and whistles if you wanted to, but I think there is something to be said for keeping it simple.
Thanks for that, Bruce. Very kind of you. Yes, it's simple, modified just a bit from a basic Blogger template. Still, it would be nice to have something a little more original. We're working on it.
