@Paul, I find the best way to truly learn is just to make a site out of it. I had been reading up on HTML5 for a while and felt I had a good grasp on it. But it wasn’t until I redesigned the site, I gained better understanding and importantly, memorized the syntax and quirks.

@Victor, a good design is invisible. It should come out natural to the people viewing it. Of course, to get it to that point requires some thoughts on the designer end. Just like how programmers fine tune their code or DB structure. The end result is a fast loading website/webapp. The users may just see it as a normal and natural experience without knowing what goes on behind the scene.

@Ida, thanks! And good to see you here again!

I love how you manage to make the design fit the content. Even though you moved away from your old design you still manage to pull it off. Really well done. Congrats to that!

Thanks for the recommendation on what must be a great blog to read. I’ll start reading those chapters so I can become more knowledgeable about design.

As more of a developer than a designer I tend to overlook the subtle nuances that you designer-types find so critical and can’t sleep until you get the page looking JUST right. I guess I’ll just never get it, but I can appreciate how great this site looks.

Great post Jin.

What a lovely concept. The ‘Olde’ style is a great touch.

I’ve yet to use HTML5 in anger (other than small projects) but I am sure we’ll all be using it by the end of the year.
