Dear Zoe and Adam
Since you asked, I had two reasons for changing the look of my blog. In fact, I still have them. Here they are:
1. I got all up-my-own-arse-arty and decided that minimalism was like so progessive.
2. My blog was looking like I’d dressed it in one of those horrible WordPress themes that people submit for download in the hope they’ll get kudos (shit word) from the blogosphere (another shit word). It felt corporate and dirty. What lows would I stoop to next? AdSense? Fucking hell. So I slapped myself in the face, got rid of all the colours, and decided on Slightly Askew written in Georgia (a font that generates stiffies among male nerds because it looks so beautiful on a Mac) in a pretty shade of blue.
Hope you still like the words, even if you hate the design.
