In re the Ongoing LiveJournal Redesign Kerfuffle, denise has a fascinating analysis of what's afoot from the social media design standpoint, here. I'm intrigued.

So I've updated my layout, mostly because I wanted a tag cloud; it's handy. I was also poking around in the FAQ structure and realized that I could twiddle a few more things than I'd thought. So here's the new and improved Forsan et haec. The color scheme appears to work with all my icons, though I miss having them to the right of the text. Ah, well: beggars (or content-providers-only) can't be choosers. Besides, I suspect most of my readers are clicking straight through to individual entries, which I've left in plain form, anyway, so it's likely that no one will notice the difference but me.

ETA: The incomparable ishte has shown me how to get my icons to display on the right. Woot!
