I always have a problem in the beginning stages of the process of deciding how a page should look. I get overwhelmed by the entire project, instead of just focusing on putting it together – tackling one small park at a time until the whole thing is done.

The link below leads to a great post on the author’s design process – he calls it the layout and the polish. I think he does a great job of breaking this enormous task into less threatening chunks. It’s something I need to emulate when I’m designing a project.

I’m particulary amazed to see how small changes make such a big difference in the before and after. I’ll be referring back to this tutorial often.

I think that you have done a great job with the design of your blog.

I especially enjoy your use of white space at the top of the page…you make things clear and concise.
