A List Apart Gets Makeover

Jeffrey Zeldman subtly revealed the news in yesterday’s Daily Report:

“Many have asked when ALA will provide an RSS feed. It will do so as soon as we finish redesigning the site. The old design is tired and unattractive, and less usable than it ought to be, in part because the old architecture points to the wrong things and does not point to the right things. All of this will be fixed soon.”

I’d have to say that I agree with him. A List Apart’s once state-of-the-art, handsome CSS layout and design no longer intrigues me. The top-notch content deserves better in this day and age. I hope that it’s a complete make over, and not just a few changes, because I’m quite excited to see what the designers will come up with next.

Speaking of A List Apart, give its new article, “Unlocking Hidden Navigation Access Keys,” a read. It’s an interesting and, perhaps, underused feature that I’m thinking of adding to the site. We’ll see.
