Time Sensitive

I spent some time this afternoon building in time and weather sensitivity to my blog’s design. I spent absolutely zero time trying to phrase that last sentence so that I didn’t sound like a complete dork.

This redesign was partly driven by Smashing Magazine’s ‘30 dark designs’ article, partly driven by Amy spending all weekend blogging, and partly driven by the fact that ever since Dunstan Orchard took down his blog I’ve wanted to do something like this.

It’s a first step, there are only basic designs in place for sunny day, cloudy day and night. I think I’d definitely like to get a “twilight” one in there, maybe a rain or a snow, and then maybe a few easter eggs as I come up with them.

Comments and suggestions are, as always, welcome.

You should let other artists design weather themed headers.

Other artists like you? ;)

I think that’s a great idea, I’d be happy to wrap something like that into the site.

Did you do a sunset one yet? If so, you should post a link to it, cause I only ever see the site when it’s dark. :)

This is fantastic! My favorite’s the twilight. :)

This is so neat, I’d like to see it snowing like it is outside today.

Looking forward to your next steps. I’d love to see a semi detailed tutorial on the topic.

Thanks Hatman—I’ll see what I can whip up. :)
