/> On the other side, what happened to deep intelligent conversation? The kind where you just want to take a seat on the couch together with a cup of joe (or tea). In a world of 144 character messages I fear that we&#8217;ve (I&#8217;ve) traded deep meaningful conversation for effortless shouts. We don&#8217;t allow for our perspectives to be changed, only voiced.</p><p>With that being said, we should take some time and talk about life over coffee.

I wanted something that was a bit more personal and I always felt like my last design was a bit too &#8220;corporate.&#8221; I have a few pictures that I&#8217;ve taken sampled throughout some of the backgrounds, and just an overall warmer feel.

The latest WP changes have been great and the platform has become so much more flexible since the pre-2.5 days. Hopefully Textpattern will begin some updates for us, but in the meantime I&#8217;m definitely happy sticking with WordPress for a while.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.robspangler.com/blog/new-redesign-and-wordpress-27/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>How To Eat Healthy This Thanksgiving</title><link>http://www.robspangler.com/blog/how-to-eat-healthy-this-thanksgiving/</link> <comments>http://www.robspangler.com/blog/how-to-eat-healthy-this-thanksgiving/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 22 Nov 2007 16:38:44 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Robert</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Personal]]></category><guid
