I know how you feel - I'm also a designer although slowly I'm moving towards a new direction in life. And it really does feel like you're cramped - like sticking an elephant in a shoebox sometimes. Your template definitely stands out, to hell with the naysayers ;) Hah! I know how you feel – I’m also a designer although slowly I’m moving towards a new direction in life.

Happy to know you enjoyed the article, and especially glad that you like the blog layout. While I don't personally think of myself as having a straight-forward <em>profession</em>, my single word answer to people who ask me what I do is usually "designer" — it's simpler that way. So, having a site that looked good was a prerequisite. Of course, my sense of design can be as unconventional as my career choices, so I rarely get to go all out and do the kinds of layouts I would actually like to do for clients — they tend to be more conservative than I would like. I figured my own site was the best chance I would get to flex my design madness, so here it is as you see it. I got quite a bit of negative feedback about this layout in the early days of this site. But being the stubborn mule that I am, I stuck to it and cleaned up whatever genuine technical shortcomings I could find. After all that, I'm happy to hear that it is appreciated. Any future complainers shall be forwarded this testimonial: <em>"... the blog template - yours really kicks ass, ..." — Albert [UrbanMonk.Net]</em> ;) Thanks. Albert, thanks for the kind words.
