Hi there all! I’ve been taking a look at doing some things to make The Puget News better. While I have a few ideas (and more frequent content is still the TOP priority!), I’d really like to hear from any of you that are passionate about design to give me ideas on changes you’d like to see here. I’ve got my friend Ross coming over to help me with some template design stuff tomorrow so I’d like to get a sense if we’re working on the right things.
So please, if you have an idea on how you’d like to see this blog’s design change so that it would be more useful to you, let me know via the comments below. Do you hate my color scheme? Want larger print?
The design ideas I’m looking at:
- Switching from a 3-column to a 2-column layout, giving more room to the posts and possibly expanding the size of the remaining sidebar as well
- Adding tag-based post-navigation via WordPress widget
The content ideas I’m exploring are as follows:
- Getting a larger group of writers to post content for the site. If you’ve got ideas for interesting original content on art, architecture, design, literature, politics, whatever, I’d like to have you writing here. Please feel free to contact me via email at eric [at] thepugetnews [dot] com!
- Continuing to expand the focus of this site well beyond the current focus on the literary.
- Getting to at least one original content post per day, preferably two…
That’s all I’ve got so far but I’m open to all suggestions on making this a more useful and fun place to discuss and debate ideas.

Looks great!
Thanks Mohit! Much appreciated. I’m quite happy with the result. I think this is a much cleaner and friendlier site design. There’s a lot of customization yet to occur but the base-line is promising.
