Obsessive Revision Disorder

In addition to the mountain of client work I seem to have lumbered myself with over the past few weeks, I’ve somehow found time to bring the next version of goodonpaper to it’s conclusion. More of an evolution stylistically than a total overhaul, you’ll notice slightly more attention to the typography and spacing while at the same time tightening the whole site up quite considerably - and adding a few new features.

Based upon my previous ability to post both entries and reviews, the site now takes a more blatant “tumblelog” approach to categorizing different content with the addition of individually styled photo, video and audio entries (something you’ll notice as I actually start posting). I also now have the ability to break away from “casual” posting and file articles - which will include features and guides that may change over time (eg. the already popular guide to free wifi in Belfast) - again, going live as soon as I get the chance to polish up some older content and finish off articles I’m putting together at the moment.

You may also spot a few of the more minor improvements - I now have a bonafide RSS button in the header for those without browser auto-detection (durrr for not including this in the last version), the sidebar is now a more blatant integration of content from external sites and the comments system has been tidied up and styled a little neater.

It’s still a few tweaks away from being fully complete - obviously a lot of bugs are going to come out of the woodwork now its properly live - so if you spot anything, please do drop me an email or leave a comment in a recent post. Otherwise, I hope you like it!

Nice work Andy, it looks really well. If I was to be very picky I would go for Arial/Helvetica before Helvetica Neue; the kerning seems a bit off for body text to me. Agreed that small iterative improvements (AKA constant tinkering) is the way to go. Tinker on!

Yeah, lovin’ your work Andy. Minimalist cool.

Clear and Simple!

Kerning on the main body text should be behaving itself now, thanks for the feedback!

Restored the comment styling too. Eyo!
