The Whitehawk

Starting from tomorrow, I will do something that very few bloggers have attempted: to redesign my blog from scratch in front of a live audience, or in other words, in front of you visitors.

So during the next few days (hopefully they won’t be many) when you visit this site you will see it flourishing into what will eventually become my best achievement in web design yet.

Such a task is not an easy thing to accomplish, and in the midst of the rush to make it look as nice as possible, in the shortest amount of time, it is very likely for me to forget some basic rules or to make some dire mistakes which I normally wouldn’t make.

That is why I will have the help and the commentaries of a few friends, colleagues and acquaintances. All of them will be lending me their eyes and words, and help me keep the progress in line (and pull my ears if I take too long to do something).

So far the three people who will be helping me out are my dear friend, and co-worker at BloggyNetwork: David Peralty; the incredibly talented and nice Elena from DesignDisease (who designed all of the sites in the BloggyNetwork); and my very intelligent friend and former-colleague from college, David Gouveia.

If I’m lucky enough, I might even trick a few of the 9rules members into giving me their opinions also, but only time will tell. So by this time tomorrow, or a bit later (you never know in this business…), you will start seeing new things in the site, or at least it’s main structure.
