a new look for fall
Tonight I decided to update Beyond Metamora to the latest version of WordPress and rearrange the site to look like a more conventional– well, more like a blog, basically.
It bums me out in one sense, but in other ways inspires me. I’m going to miss the homemade sharpie-marker design that I made in 2006, but I’m hitting a point where I need this site to be a more purely text-based & utility-rich medium. Maybe the next time I revamp the site I’ll figure out a way to combine the two styles and get my Sharpie warpaint back.
Right now, though, I just need a place to easily decompress some arbitrary text out of my brainpan. Lately the ideas have been piling up in my mind & on loose scraps scattered around my apartment without any easy place to put them. My main aim with this rebuild is to clear out the clutter and get more of those thoughts & schemes out into the light of day.
