It was time for a change around these parts, so I put together a new design.

I’ve been wanting to use a little wider format for awhile now. (Warning: Nerd speak ahead) I’ve always built sites to be very accessible to the blind, disabled, and technology phobic. This usually means that you code to the lowest resolution that a user might have on their monitors. This has always been 800 x 600 in the past.

I was checking out some statistics on my general user base and noticed that less than 1% are using that resolution to visit my site. I figured it was safe enough to branch out a bit and use a little more screen real estate. If I ran a site catered to the elderly, I would consider otherwise, but I’m stuck with all of your guys and girls. Granted, the randonneuring community could be mistaken for AARP on wheels if you catch them on the right day. Still, they pretty consistently beat me up hills, so they are going to have to suffer with a new layout.

Let me know what you think.
