does this blog make me look old?

i'm not sure i am crazy about the new blogger interface. the 'in your face' attitude with the pageview counts etc. is kind of driving me nuts. and why can't i see the blog itself in a separate window? grrr.

buuut i hope you will like my new blog interface! yep, finalmente! i have already set up an under construction page at www.merictaylan.com. i simply wasn't ready to do these changes all this time. but you know what? i think i'll never be ready. there will always be 'other' stuff to take care of. so this will be quite a real-time blog and website makeover combo for me :) hehe. i think i could even turn this into kind of a game. some things won't work for a while, my portfolio will be lacking a lot of stuff. awkward buttons will pop up and disappear.

i hope you will not get frustrated with the constant format changes in the process. i have a private test blog to test the new design, but i think i will put it up before it is finished. raw. crude. squeaky.

as always, any feedback is good feedback for me, so please do comment :)

mind to change?

i have been talking lately about a blog makeover, since my website announcement(www.merictaylan.com). i try to squeeze in that to my 'to do' list, somehow. my first concept was something like this. buuuuut... since this is meric taylan's KITCHEN, not meric taylan's office, well, the concept should include some kitchen, right? i have some sinister ideas about this, hehe. not quite your usual kitchen, i might say. hm... this change of mind will cost me some time, but we'll see...

what do you think, should i stick with the 'office desk' theme? oh well, not fair. i'll send in the other theme first, then ask your opinion:) any comments are always welcome, as usual...

raw material

my design is forming little by little. i won't reveal what it is until it's finished, but guesses are always welcome. i think it is easy now. i will need to study a specfic folding principle to realize it, and that is the fun part! i'm trying to 'see' the design fully. there are sooo many details to be solved. i really enjoy this process, challenging me at ev.e.ry tiniest decision. sometimes i feel the more painful the design process, the happier i am at the end. hmmm. they have a specific word for that, don't they?;)hehe.

the blog's makeover coming soon!
