The footer I was working on earlier for a bit of a rework of my site (though not a huge departure). Still rough and lots of little stuff to clean up, but the basic lockup is there. And it took me longer than I expected to get here.
The padding between items seems like it differs from topside to the sides around the keylines. Was that intentional, a proportional thing, or for focus?
@Dave Joyce: Still mulling that one over. The comp is currently centered, but I'm second guessing myself about giving up the ability to bleed images off the left side like I can on my current site.
@Shane Guymon: Yep, Oddities stuff will just get folded into the normal posting stream (not unlike a Tumblr setup). Photos will be on Flickr now instead of on my site.
@Patrick Haney: Aside from a few old posts, I stopped using sIFR on my site long ago :)
This is sooooo much better then the old footer. The visual "movement" and hierarchy is just perfect. No visual clutter at all.
Everything is easily recognizable and you can not only scan it much faster as a whole, but also inside each individual block.
Why are you explaining your dribbble, flickr & (just about) RSS feed but you only have you name next to your twitter icon? Surely you'd keep it all in the same ilk :)

Doesn't it always take longer than expected? I've started to add 50% to any estimate I make, seems to work out for the most part.
Anyway, good stuff.

@Thierry Blancpain: I think it always takes longer when you're designing something for yourself that represents what you do.

@Nick and Thierry: Bingo. If this were for a client I would've been done days ago.

Looks great! Looks like it's centered and no longer left aligned. Can't wait to see it.

So this means I might finish the McLuhan stuff I'm working on in, say, another year or so...

I am noticing that "Daily Photography", and "Oddities & Diversions" are missing/gone.
Looking good, can't wait to see the rest of the updates in their natural habitat.

I like this because it's proof that it takes everyone a lot of work sometimes.

Didn't realize you were in Brooklyn, too. Although, I wouldn't call it sunny. Especially as of recent.
