Time to break out of your RSS readers: there’s a new design on Ma.tt<\/a>! Recommended only for the high-bandwidth and the open-minded. There was nothing wrong with my old theme, I just get an itch for something new every now and then and wanted a totally different direction — especially now that every site has copped the worn paper look \/ colorful flourish. Also it’s refreshing to be able to have a design where the only person in the world it needs to please is me. Here’s a before and after:<\/p>\n

\"mahtete-old\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"10 <\/a>
10 Comments <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

For fans of the old design, I’m going to abstract it into a regular WordPress theme — gallery features and all — that will be available to the entire world, including WordPress.com. It’s amazing to me how many great designs are thrown away, never to be used again, when as a WP theme they could live forever.<\/p>\n

I wanted to thank Julien Morel<\/a>, the creative mind behind this iteration, and Brian Colinger<\/a>, who turned the vision into HTML, CSS, and PHP.<\/p>\n

If I could I would redesign the site every season: Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall. It just always takes longer than I planned (this was supposed to launch in Winter). The cobbler’s sons go shoeless.<\/p>\n
