Welcome to Particletree!

As you begin to know me better, you will understand that programming runs through my blood. When my affinity with programming grew, I started to get carried away. I spent all of my time learning how to program, and none of it learning design. This has left me fairly lopsided. Why is any of this relevant? Because I am going to design my blog, and I want your help.

My design process normally consists of 10+ hours of brain freeze, lack of creativity, and frustration. I become a never positive, always critical grump. Not too long ago, I decided to do a 15 minute design to see what I could create without thinking about how bad it was. Here is the result.

Where do you come in? Well, Chris and Kevin are always willing to make fun of me lend a helping hand, but the more the merrier, right? I want all of the truthful criticism I can get. I want to be publically humiliated. Anything it takes to become a better designer.

The current version is boring, looks too much like a blog, and has no finished graphics (ie: the header). On the other hand, the markup is fairly nice (hah! thats not design). Where do I go from here? I’ve got my own ideas, but would love to consider others.
