From the how to blog design guide the components of a modern/standard blog are broken down. In trying to simplify the design of SSR in its current incarnation I removed the header and secondary links sections. Most blog headers are too busy or too big. For instance Design Observer's header draws the eye away from the content. I am probably going to redesign SSR again soon, once I decide on a layout. I want to integrate camriley.com and the AFC site into it. Probably through some form of tabbing or javascript switching - I am not sure yet. (more)

Via Bill de hora:
I [Bill de hora] am moving off Movable Type. In favor of my own codebase. I've decided weblogs are to this decade as editors were to the 1970s. You have to write your own. It's a pretty thin rationale - the 1970s more or less sucked as I recall.South Sea Republic has done the same. I have moved it from scoop to a homebrew. (more)
