Making Nice Web Type

My name is Tim Brown. I'm designing Nice Web Type's tumblelog from scratch.

FYI, I'm now applying design changes to (and flowing live content into) Nice Web Type tumblelog. Still writing about the making here, but go there for visual status.

Several adjustments

Favorites are out. There were too many. And I didn’t want them in the main RSS feed. I’ll work them in later somehow, because I really like showcasing them. Bookmarks are Masonry’d. I like how it’s going so far, but the measurement and details still need a lot of attention. Nice Web Type’s tumblelog now powers the live RSS feed to which hundreds of folks subscribe. Next time I write a post, it’ll be on Tumblr … whether or not the redesign is finished. Feels like a loose and confusing situation right now, but it’ll all work out later. Finally, I had some new ideas about how to organize content on the site, and the difference between scanning the homepage and reading full posts. I’ll share my sketch later.
