Welcome to the new version of A Dribble of Ink<\/em>!<\/p>\n

As you’ve likely noticed (and if you haven’t, refresh your browser!), A Dribble of Ink<\/em> has a whole new look. I felt that the previous design (which had been around, in some form or another, since the start of the blog four-and-a-half years ago) was starting to look a little long in the tooth; so, it was time to re-launch A Dribble of Ink<\/em> with a whole new look, an early celebration of its fifth birthday.<\/p>\n

I coded the template myself from scratch using HTML5 and CSS3, which has a lot of benefits for you guys, my readers. It’s a heck of a lot faster (this template is 50% the size of the previous template and relies on far fewer image files), it’s easier for search engines to find content (semantic coding and streamlined structure), and, overall, the design and ‘look’ of the site is simpler and cleaner, allowing the content itself to shine.<\/p>\n

If you want to experience all the new fun stuff, and have A Dribble of Ink<\/em> look its best, make sure you’re using a modern browser like Chrome<\/a> or Firefox<\/a>. It’ll work just fine in Internet Explorer, but Microsoft are a little behind the curve in integrating the new HTML5 and CSS3 features.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, I’ve switched away from my previous webhost (GoDaddy *shudder*) to a new host that is more friendly with WordPress, meaning general performance of A Dribble of Ink<\/em> should improve immensely. I was aware of the lagginess and slow load-times of the site in recent months and have worked hard to fix this.<\/p>\n

Feel free (and encouraged) to leave your thoughts and suggestions in the comments section here. I hope you like the new design!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
