Nascentguruism has finally gone live.
I urge you to go look at Steve’s new design as, frankly, it’s a real labour of love and would be a shame not to. Attention to detail is order of the day, with the squeakiest clean mark-up (bar a few transitional hooks), some frankly acrobatic CSS for doing nested quotes properly and a nice line in CSS generated content (in the sidebar footer).
He’s been designing nascentguruism for most of the time I worked with him at Fujitsu-Siemens and for a good few months since then as well. In that time he’s also been reading through the stock books on design, usability and typography, all of which introduced immediate delays as he tried to incorporate the new knowledge. Together we hacked around in Firefox making little CSS tricks dance (though I’m not sure how many of those survived) and generally shared many an afternoon not doing what we were supposed to.
I think his effort’s been worth it, so please pay him a visit and welcome him into our corner of this interweb; he’s been watching from the outside for some time now. Or you could just write abuse in his comments, whichever.
