I started UsabilityPost a couple of years ago with the purpose of creating an outlet which I can use to write about a subject I am passionate about. I focused on usability because the functional side of design is what interests me most and is something I feel is of most value to today’s designers.
I’m happy with the way the blog has turned out and will of course keep on writing…however, I oftentimes want to write posts on things which don’t really have much to do with design or usability. Unfortunately, I chose a very specific name for the blog, which is both, an advantage and a disadvantage. It’s clear what this blog is about just by looking at the domain, but at the same time, it limits the scope of what should be published.
So I think it’s time for a new blog. I’ve had it set up for a while but haven’t yet done very much with it. I’m going to fix that. To keep things simple, the new blog goes under my surname and is hosted at Fadeyev.net
. I’ll use it to post my ideas and observations on various topics like technology, creativity and life.
I’ve not yet done much with the blog’s design—actually, it’s more of an anti-design right now with an absolute focus on content. I like the spartan look as it reinforces the purpose of the page—to make the posts clear and readable—so I probably won’t change it too much, but there is definitely a bunch of stuff I still need to add.
The blog is up and running and it’s a little lonely right now, so if you want to take a look go right ahead
. Be sure to leave a comment or two while you’re there.
