I’m playing around with some ideas in my head for a new design for RO.

I’m pondering some ideas that Chris Pearson spoke of in our last PodDev and I think that I’ll try to apply some of that to my redesign. I want to make it different… so you come here and don’t get the “Blog” impression, rather a “wow, that’s damn cool” impression.

I want to have the ability to include all sorts of goodies. Blogrolls, delicious widgets, revver embeds (I’m trying revver, more on that soon enough), odeo widgets, well, basically lots of widgets. I want them to feel like they are a part of the site though. The site needs to be modular, easily configured to suit different environments. Stylish is a bonus, I’m a designer, I should be able to design a decent site for myself.

I don’t know what colours I want yet. I’m sick of the red and would love a slick black site but black is picky across monitors… white is safest. I’ll probably end up with blue since that’s in (thank you Apple iTunes logo!).

I don’t have a clue how I’ll achieve this, I don’t know what will make me different, but I do know in the end, regardless of what happens I’m sticking with it. I’m far too sick of redesigning my own sites.

By the way we aren’t recording PodDev this weekend, too many conflicts. No worries, we’ll work something out!
