Introducing the Diary
Photo by Paul Watson, modified under licenceThe experiment in mini-posts seems to have worked well, and has received positive feedback from readers whilst being very easy for me to use. I therefore intend to continue with it.
As you may have already noticed, I’ve made some changes to the display of the posts to give them a more permanent identity, as I felt that having a screaming headline format didn’t really work for the mini-posts. For that reason, I’ve renamed them ‘My Diary’, and given them their own special design, which I feel works rather well – and I hope you do too.
Let me know what you think, keep commenting, and help the very discussion to thrive.

I suggest making the diary headers a little smaller, and perhaps toning down the background colour – maybe it could be a sort of blue instead of yellow?
I do like the idea of them having their own design though.

I quite like the variation of the yellow – and a couple of people have commented that it brightens things up a bit. It’s supposed to bear a passing resemblance to a physical diary.
That said, clearly, it’s a bit rough around the edges at the moment, and I will get round to tidying it up at some point in the next decade…

Hmm, I’ve changed things again now… The yellow didn’t really work, did it? I’ve gone for an edited photo as a background now, which I think adds more of a personal touch. You like?

That is better by an order of magnitude. I like it more now that it’s been toned down a bit and that the headers aren’t as shouty and cheese-tastic as before.
