Normally I don’t write about personal stuff on this site - kind of makes me feel weird. But on this occasion I’ll let that little rule slip, just this once.
I feel pretty crappy. Not only for not posting stuff recently (in all honesty, I’ve got loads of things to write but simply can’t be bothered.) but also I’ve been quite ill and following hospital visits, weight loss and chronic tiredness I now have a diagnosis and am on shit loads of drugs to kick it into touch.
So, normal service will be resumed shortly with next in the “Simple Steps” series - Grid Design.
Keep tuned.

Thanks Paul - Should be fine, hopefully these drugs will kick in soon and I’ll start feeling a bit better. It hasn’t been good, but will be good again soon!
In fact I’m just about to buy a 12” iBook. See, things are looking better already!

As with the above, hope you improve soon. We all appreciate the work put into the site - it does get hard to give out, when you’re feeling below par. Enjoy the iBook:)

Sorry to hear you are under the weather. I am really looking forward to the grid design topics.
Oh and if you are looking to get rid of your old computer, pass it this way. -Shameless request for free computer-

Looking forward to your grid design series. I have my own theories about web grid design so hopefully that will open up for an interesting discussion. Feel better!
