Hello! I’d like to share some screenshots of the upcoming redesign with you and (hopefully) solicit some feedback. I’m not going into detail yet as to why I’ve made the changes I did, but I would like to get your thoughts. The screenies:

• Homepage - http://davidwalsh.name/dw-content/homepage.jpg
• Sample Post - http://davidwalsh.name/dw-content/post.jpg

Don’t be shy — please let me know your thoughts. Also, if you have any feature requests, please be sure to let me know.

Thank you!

My first full year has come and gone and I’d like to review a bit about the year.

The Year in Numbers

• 350 Posts
• 676,378 Visits
• 1,319,045 Pageviews
• 2,825 RSS Feed Subscribers
• 2 Designs

New Sites

• Script & Style - Script and Style, the front-end developer’s link sharing website, gained great momentum that carries through into today. I’m proud of the site’s growth and we look to add new features soon.
• Band Website Template - BWT’s sales were much more than I expected, likely due to Chris Coyier’s awesome design.

My blog grew substantially during 2008. I gained thousands more RSS subscribers, my MooTools skills took a giant leap, and I even branched out in jQuery a little bit. That said, I feel like the blog just beginning. I’ve outlined some goals for 2009 — any feedback or requests would be appreciated.

1. New Redesign

I’m not happy with the current “design”. It’s too plain and even though I’m not a designer, I think I could do a lot better. I have a new redesign that’s about 25% done that I really love so far and hope to get out by February 1st. I will be giving peeks via Twitter very soon.
