I’ve been reading Paul Scriven’s Whitespace for quite some time now. I’ve always enjoyed the content, but while the interface as always been usable, it hasn’t always been terrific. Nowadays, Whitespace is looking much better these days. I think that Paul has gotten much better at displaying lots of information in a usable — yet minimalistically beautiful ways at the same time.
There are many features that I’ve been wanting to add to my website. Most of these aren’t big, new fancy features, but they mostly involve the intelligently elegant integration and layout of metadata and information in general. I’ve been pondering how to more fully integrate certain types of data into the very core of my website through a combination of XML, PHP, MySQL, and Movable Type.
I think that Paul has simply had more time to play with new data ideas than I have. But that’s okay, because his site has really come a long way in the last several months.
Good job, Scrivs.

Hey punk! Last time I checked there were 24 hours in the day for everyone so stop yo whining! Haha, just kidding. Glad to see you think things are improving. If I wasn’t so focused on getting my ideas so quickly pushed out the window and onto your guys’ screens then I would focus more on the visual identity of all my sites.
It’s not that I don’t like designing, its just other parts of my websites take priority, like getting content on to them. In any case your site is the one that has grown in terms of quality of content.
Thank you.
