Something a bit different.

Something a bit different.

I thought I’d start trying to style some posts a bit differently and try and get away from the usual blog style of content-with-sidebar-you-might-also-like-RSS-share-this kinda thing.

Using some Wordpress plugin awesomeness I’m free to style a page how I want.

This is the first attempt at something different. It’s using 960.gs and jQuery. If you’re reading this in an RSS reader or on the home page then jump over to the post proper and check it out. I’m quite pleased with the way it turned out, the 960.gs grid keeps everything nicely uniform when elements are removed.

Styling posts is just really a chance for me to dick about a bit with CSS and Javascript but one element of blog design that I think really does need a shot in the arm is sitemap pages. Most people just have a list of post titles, sometimes grouped by category, but often just one big list. Not very user friendly.
