General Musings blobfisk No Comments
Over the Christmas break I decided it was about time that blobfisk.com needed a makeover. Most sites go through a regular redesigns. Indeed, when I start my gig as User Experience Manager at Channel 4 the biggest thing that me and my team were working on was the redesign of channel4.com itself (more on this in future posts). So, the time came for blobfisk.com to undergo a refresh.
Up until now my tiny personal site had no content management system powering it and not even the slightest whiff of a blog. For a long time I wasn’t the biggest fan of blog sites (you can read some of my misgivings in On rethinking the homepage), but I’ve changed my mind! I was not against the concept of blogging, but the aesthetics and usability of blog sites. I felt that blog driven sites tended to overwhelm users with information and lacked clear navigation, often throwing away the common website paradigms that people are used to.
