Getting pretty close to finishing up a new version of my site. It's not a full-blown redesign, but more of a little rethinking and restructuring. I plan to launch with some stuff still unfinished (like my portfolio, a responsive layout, etc). I've mainly focused on the publishing aspect so that I can get back to writing again. I've been kept from writing while my site is in flux between these two designs, so I just want to get this going and remove that hurdle to me publishing stuff. Hoping to get this up by the end of the month. Woo!
I'd love to know about your publishing process with ExpressionEngine as well. Greg Wood touched on how he directs his stuff, would be cool to hear about your approach.
@Faruk: Nah, I wouldn't say that at all. It's a pretty minimalistic design without much in the way of bells and whistles. It's people like you who make us all look bad :)

I hear the "gotta finish the design so I can write again" dilemma. Nothing worse.

@Steven Grant: There's not much to it, and nothing really specific to EE. I just roughly layout a post in Photoshop, then code it up.

We expect to see full HTML5 + tons of Web-Fonts + grids + iPad version. Looks amazing so far!

Ah OK - so you're just pasting a whole heap of HTML/CSS into EE?

@Steven Grant: Nope, I just mark up an article like normal. But I link to a reduced CSS file on a per-article basis.

@ Tim Woodring: Yep, I'm going to give it a try. I haven't had a centered personal site since version 2. :)
