This may be the only time I would like for you to spam your site. So if you have a blog that you like to write on, post it here so I can check it out. I always like to find new things so have at it.

Maybe you will get a new reader or two.

I blog most on Most Inspired you've probably seen it before though :)

How long you been on that design? Seems like 10 years now, when are you going to redesign? Don't tell me you don't have the itch to redesign the site after all this time iisbum.

It's only a couple of years, maybe 3 :P

But yes I've been itching to redesign and rebuild (lots of idea's for new features) but I just don't have the time to maintain what's there and rebuild :(

And the award for shortest domain name goes to...

I also work on Cut & Taste and Blood.

I'm loving Cut & Taste Chris.

Men love the pink.

Hey Scrivs,
I just started writing in my personal website over at DavidKorona.com.

By the way, I'm that guy from the Smashing Mag article comments who wished to write a follow up. The post will be out later today and I'll send it your way like you I'm going to refer to you but I realized I have no idea what your name is. What'll it be Scrivs?

Oh, very nice site David. My name is Paul Scrivens, but if you wish to stick with Scrivs I won't mind. Either one works as I am called by all names (even the bad ones) on the web.

@Rhee: Not falling into that trap.

Thanks for the kind words Scrivs, I appreciate it.

By the way the article has also just been completed and here it is!

@chris rhee - *snaps fingers* almost!

@Korona: A brilliant article, I will post a comment shortly.

@Scrivs: Thanks for checking it out and sorry about hijacking this thread (doh!). Continue linking those websites!

Myself and the others I work with have just started to write a blog on BrightSky.

I love the design of that blog. That is all I'm going to say.

I have two blogs, Tales of a Designer, which hasn't gotten much attention lately, and my Tumblr site.

Hasn't gotten much attention is an understatement.

I'm not disagreeing with that one bit.

Not mine and not a blog. But a former co-worker and friend of mine: Douglas Hughmanick. I wrote the code and got it in WordPress, but the graphic design was by Doug.

This is such a great site. You can check out my blog at Pixelflips.com. Thanks for bringing real articles back the the website community!

I wouldn't say I brought them back as they were always there, just not getting the attention that they deserved. I do hope that I helped in bring awareness though. Nice site by the way.

@Scrivs - and you are humble on top of that! HA! Maybe you didn't bring them back but with articles like "Smashing Magazine Killed The Community (Or Maybe It Was Me)" you're sure pushing it in the right direction.

So again great site and thanks for the compliments!

Cheers

You would definitely be the first person in my life to call me humble. I feel as though I should buy you a Xmas present.

I'm like 50,000 times more humble than Scrivs.

Digging the community aspect of this site. It's nice to see this thing online again.

You can find my soon-to-be-updated (aren't they all?) blog at http://www.ryanmerrill.net/

Current version is mad slick.

Thanks for the props, Scrivs.

You can checkout a preview of the upcoming design here: preview.

Any design suggestions/critiques/rips/whatever are more than welcomed. I've been designing this in my head/on paper/in CSS/HTML for awhile now and I'm beginning to feel a bit insulated.

After a quick glance I like it. My only gripe would be the movement of the top boxes, It's a cool feature, but with the 3 boxes being so close to the big box there is just too much movement (distractions) when I move my mouse. I'm trying to focus and if I accidentally move my mouse then a box moves causing me to focus on it.

I've got to say, I'd much prefer a set-up where users are given a profile/place to link themselves. Among my favorite parts of Hacker News were individual users' profiles, where I could follow a particularly cogent statement to the home of the person making it. (I'm also vain and enjoy expanding my tiny little empire post-by-post.)

My last redesign lasted all of a month. My new design of Rinich was intended to be shockingly minimal: only one word on the entire page is nonblack, and the layout is completely div-free.

My portfolio website (I know, not a blog, sorry!) is aptly called Damon Bauer..

There will be user profiles here shortly because everyone earns the right to showcase other parts of themselves on the web. No good to try and build a community if you can't get to know the people.

@procload: I'm going to echo what Scrivs said. Not only your three boxes but the black layer above that seem unessential. It's snazzy stuff, but if I'm looking for your portfolio it's not enough detail to impress me and if I'm looking for your blog all I see initially is clutter. The first word I see is "FEATURED" rather than your name, which isn't good; you have too many design ideas going on at once for it to cohere into a whole.

Take some of those ideas and save them for clients, so that those neat tricks show up in the portfolio. I love your blog design: Hope you've got some awesome content to go with that layout!

Thanks for the feedback, guys. It's nice being able to get feedback pre-launch. I'll take those ideas into consideration, notably trying to clean up the section above the blog. My initial thoughts were to put a focus on my work, but I think I have some new ideas where I can go.

I'm really itching to launch, so it's going to be a live work-in-progress, it'll be interesting to see where it progresses.

Thanks again.

Not so much a blog, although there is one on there is is barly updated. I just finished a redesign and I'd love some feedback :)

I like the GET A QUOTE button, but it contrasts the buttons next to it poorly. It and the other top links come across as blurry. The arrow next to your header should have a dropdown come on the left, not the right, and I don't think that's the best way to show off your portfolio to begin with.

The biggest gripe I have is your grammar. Far too many commas. Particularly when you've got so much text on a site, ensuring that text is beautiful is killer. Writing is as much as design as visuals.

This is my site and its pretty awesome.

http://www.morguefile.com

I maybe slightly biased but I still think its pretty awesome.

Step #1) Believe that your site is pretty awesome.

Step #2) Make it awesomer.

Step #3) Profit?

@twe4ked, your site design is too busy. It's like everything is thrown at my face.

@twe4ked, simplify your footer or redesign it and add more spacing to accommodate all the content on it without freaking out your visitors. Your footer has blog links, twitter, external links, flickr, your sales pitch, copyright, credits, client login and subscription link. WOHA! It's a lot of content wrapped up in so less space. Agreed?

Here's my blog: <img /> is everything

Feel free to pass judgement on its bright yellow background!

Nice, I love the title of the site.

Minimali.st is my blog. I'm still working on a design for it. I've done about three and none of them I'm really happy with, so I'm just using a theme for now.

Let me know if you find the content interesting though :-)

Thanks Rory and Harris :)

I have two... and they get updated from time to time... one of them is more like a place where I keep notes on some code or ideas that I developed for Wordpress.

Moiblog - My personal blog.

WP Kode - My Wordpress related blog.

Both are using the same theme right now... but I'm working on a very flexible theme that I use with clients that might make it into my personal blog in a few months.

This is my blog on design and its various philosophical underpinnings.

Always admired the "out there" design of your site Josh.

Haha...thanks. :)

An outlet away from code and design to explore my other passion, surfing - Phoresia.org

Surfing seems to be one of the most peaceful activities in the world. Rare that you get to be one with nature while also picking up chicks.

Very nice blog. I write on my journey as an entrepreneur. Been doing it for over 2 years now. Looking to re-design my blog these days. Your latest article gave me a lot of thing about.

Well my blog can be found here, but shame it's still in beta.

Well, I've decided to start blogging at http://neography.com/ There's no content yet, but stay tuned, I'm going to try and write some interesting stuff soon.

Cheers all!

Hi Paul,
I am Tuhin and I write at Inspiring Pixel. You probably knew that!

Here is the link to my blog.

Updated the design of my blog based on some feedback from the Drawar forums. Check it out: http://www.ryanmerrill.net/.

Thanks for the help, guys.

I like it.

The purple text on the black background on the DESIGN/CODE/WRITING boxes is bad.

Not sure about the shadow used with the drop cap. Seems to just blur is slightly. Might work better if the drop cap is a darker shade of purple or black?

Hi,
There are really nice blogs here (Inspiring Pixel and Ryan Merrill are great).
My presentation website

I´m current writing as a hobby at http://designi1.com... and loved many websites as drawar articles... you already know this one http://www.trippingwords.com but i´ll list here anyway because that´s a place were i get nice readings as well!!

Hey Scrivs,

I somehow haven't seen you around the interwebs until you dropped a comment over at Elite By Design. Thanks!

http://elitebydesign.com

I am honestly digging this site, it's full of usefulness without the bloat of other sites.

You linked to my site a couple of days ago, which is actually how I found this place. I just started blogging again recently so it's not great yet but a start nonetheless.

As for the others, my favorite so far has to be Cut & Taste!

Anyone blog on Blogger.com? What do you think about my blog on system tools?

Mike Cane's iPad Test

I think the iPad is going to fundamentally change the Internet and that designers will have plenty of new work. Prepare for our touchscreen future.

I think you've seen mine already, but I'm still in the process of re-working it. Although you might say the design process is slow, I would say it's slow and steady :D
