June 4, 2000 by Michael Boyle

for the positive feedback on the redesign! I won’t deny it – it makes me feel happy to hear such nice words. Not being a designer by trade, getting something together that I’m happy with can be a bit of an ordeal (although this one took a grand total of three hours plus minor tweak time), and it’s nice to know that people enjoy it.
