Today is a big day for my blog. I hired artist Doug Eymer to design a custom masthead and color scheme for my blog and I'm very proud of it.
I think Doug did a great job and he gave me the look and feel I wanted to bring to this blog.
My plan over the coming months is to port over the material on my www.ronsmiller.com web site into this blog to have a single integrated blog and web site, a one-stop destination for my work.
I'm really excited about it. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
Look nice, I may want to talk to your designer as I am looking to revamp mine as well.

Like it. Nice and clean. Perhaps you can make the column fonts smaller than the post fonts, so the posts stand out a little more?
And, I clicked through to see ronsmiller.com for comparison. You should have a warning or something before clicking not to look directly at that site! This is a big improvement. :-)

Ron: It was great working with you and thank you for passing my name along. I think that TypePad has demonstrated that, although it is not the perfect "designer's platform" in terms of design flexibility -- it has a great deal to offer.
We are also in an age where individuals are realizing the importance of maintaining a strong visual brand.
Thank you for allowing me to help out.
