Last Straw’s new design and a note to email subscribers

As some of you may have noticed I’ve been hav­ing a bit of a tidy up around here recently. Last Straw now has a classy new grid-based design called Basic Maths by Khoi Vinh. I’ve also blown a few cob­webs out of the backend involving cat­egor­ies and what­not. All of which should make brows­ing my rants end­less pearls of wis­dom infin­itely more pleas­ur­able. Stay tuned in the com­ing weeks for a new photo/video gal­lery too.

As email sub­scribers will have already noticed I’ve also over­hauled the mail­ing list sys­tem, switch­ing to MailChimp. Note that this will now come as a weekly digest instead of indi­vidual emails.

While switch­ing I was reminded of how many friends and fam­ily I’ve sur­repti­tiously sub­scribed over the years. Not the most polite thing to do. Hon­estly, unless you really want to receive these emails, please unsub­scribe. There are other more mod­ern ways to fol­low a blog these days anyway.

In the mean time you might like to check out another web­site over­haul I’ve been work­ing on recently.

  1. nangas,

    Nice clean lay­out briggsy. The old site now looks likes a bit of bed­sit stu­dent­ism com­pared to this sleek, mod­ern beast!!!

  2. Heh, cheers Nan­gas, it’s cer­tainly a stark con­trast to the last design. Need a few bits and pieces ironed out but really pleased with it so far. By the way we need to get in touch to sort your email host­ing out old chap.
