New Blog Design Unveiled!

An entry about this and that Publication date 7. October 2007 18:31

I've spent most of the weekend working on a redesign of my blog, so if you're only reading my feed through an aggregator then go and have a look! I've been much more conscious about the html and css code this time around, pushing myself to refining and relearning the best practices. I spent a lot of time browsing 45 Excellent Blog Designs to get ideas for this refresh, and must say I'm fairly satisfied with the end result!

I've gone for a fresher, more modern look, where the front page is no longer a long never-ending list of posts, but has more of a newspaper style to it. Overall readability (especially on code snippets) should be better now too, with larger and more consistent typography. 

Although the focus this time around was mostly on layout, I've had time to improve some old and add a few new features aswell. Still, I've got some ideas for more features and improvements I'd like to add to my blog engine, so hopefully I'll get some time to work on that this autumn.

Another change I decided to do, is to move my blog back from the subdomain and to the root of my domain, which should hopefully clear up all the Ajax toolkit problems I've been having around here. You won't have to change your feed subscription however, as FeedBurner abstracts away the actual location anyways :)

Welcome!

My name is Fredrik Kalseth, and this is my blog - thanks for visiting! I am fortunate enough to work with what I love for a living, and this blog is essentially the biproduct of that.

I work as a senior consultant for Capgemini, and am also an active participant in the Norwegian .NET community, as an avid attendee but also as a speaker (most recently at NNUG and MSDN Live).

As a developer, I have a wide circle of interest. My primary passion is for agile, test-driven development, with focus on best practices and clean code. That said, I also love to work on the frontend, especially with web development.

On Twitter? My handle is fkalseth. On LinkedIn? I`m there too.
