If you have visited this website before, you will have noticed that the design has now changed somewhat. We decided that the "dark" theme of our previous design was too uninviting, and that the organisation and priority of the information on the site could also do with some rethinking.
Therefore, in the new design the background is lighter, and the Blog and Portfolio sections have more prominance on the front page. The layouts of the portfolio page has also changed, with a more concise presentation.
The blog also gains a new "overview" page, allowing a quick glimpse of the current and popular posts, as well as a selection of random articles. We hope that you and other visitors will be able to discover more content in this manner.
Apart from that, not much, content-wise, has changed - you will still find all the old blog articles and lab projects available, though in the comments section of the blog you will be able to now see contributor's Gravatars, and also websites if they entered one in the field.
If you have any comments, thoughts or suggestions on our redesign (or if you find any bugs), don't hesitate to comment below. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy your experience on this site!

dan Just wondering whats with the vertical lines running all the way down the main content area, (at least in this post..), like the furthest left one and furthest right lines would be ok but the middle two just make reading slightly harder, so maybe not include those on pages where 'columns' would span over that width..if you get what I mean..
And also possibly make your text darker against this lighter background, once again for ease of reading.
Otherwise the lightness is a refreshing change and the design looks nice (IMO at least :P)
Martin Thanks for commenting!
The lines were to aid reading with multiple columns, but I can see how they could be distracting. I'll probably remove them.
I like the current contrast levels :P but I'll experiment and see whether something darker would work.
