I’ve been working on a full redesign of the site lately, tinkering here and there. Most recently, I’m playing around with the Google Font Directory. I like a lot of the fonts they have there, and think it’s a cool way to use other fonts than the standard ones you see everywhere.

Currently, I’m using Nobile for body text, and IM Fell Great Primer SC for headers. Let me know what you think.

I also removed all the content from the sidebar except the search function. Just felt too cluttered. Maybe someday I’ll design a new theme from the ground up. Until then, it’ll be a WordPress Twenty-Ten mutt!

I just finished the complete overhaul of theblanchard [dot] com. This is the first time I have designed it (or any site in the last 10 years) from the ground up.

I started with a photoshop mockup and went from there. It took a lot of work, but after many hours of coding and some great help from css-tricks.com, I’m really happy with the way it looks.

Let me know in the comments what you think of the new look and if anything looks strange or out of place to you. I’ve tested it in a few browsers but you never know…
