Redesigning Lhmdesign
So, long-story-short, I've decided it's time to give the whole Lhmdesign site, including this blog, a redesign. It's been about a year now since the current design went live and, well, you know what designers are like - fiddlers!
Anyway, as this blog is written for you, I'd like to get your input on what features etc. you think should stay/go/be introduced in the redesign.
Currently, I'm thinking:
Staying
- Most recent posts block
- RSS subscription options
Going
- Random tags cloud block
- Sponsors block
New Stuff
- Most popular posts block
- Top commenters block
- Subscribe via e-mail option
- Recommended block
- Categories block/page
Any thoughts?

Funny, I'm going through a bit of a redesign myself, so been thinking about blocks, modules and what to include and not include.
Personally, I'm thinking about going with a fairly wide two-column format, possibly with additional space in the footer for 'extras'. Nice big graphical header and tasteful colour scheme.
I like your site's design, but your header pushes the content down quite far, even on my huge monitor! Wouldn't mind seeing a little more *above* the fold.
Interesting point about the content Gerard. I agree with you that content higher up would be a good thing to look at integrating - thanks :)
As for the number of columns, I was actually considering a no-column approach with the posts being split out across the page - although not quite sure yet how (or if) this might work! Time for some Photoshop...
LOL - I meant 'one-column approach' not 'no-column approach' - that would be a pretty minimal website!
Tags Clouds = useless ... I never even look at them on any page I visit.
