I thought that by moving to WordPress, all of my problems would be over. Alas what I found was that the way in which i had become very comfortable blogging was actually completely lost, and the alternative that I forced on myself hadn’t moved things forward but rather moved things back. The only good thing to come out of this brainfart is this latest iteration of this site (if you’re reading it in your RSS reader, have a look at the website proper).

As with the previous version, this one takes things all the way to the very start of Broken Kode as it is inspired by the very first design. This is the only remaining image from back then: Historically Broken Kode has been a single column site. Every once in a while that has changed in favour of something more complicated, but for the last few years it's been simplicity over anything else. This latest iteration takes that ethos several steps further as I was absolutely brutal in what I wanted on the page and what had to be hidden.

Details

Main menu is hidden in the shelf.

Featured items have a heart, while normal posts have an x.

The ‘meta information’ for a post is also hidden. I will eventually add the tags in here as well, once I’ve decided how I want to show the tags themselves.

Comments are stripped of everything bar the comment and the person’s name/link. My comments are styled ever so slightly differently.
