Dra Studio - Blog - Design & Illustration

Yes, yes. Things look a bit different now and if you happened to be checking throughout the day, you probably noticed all kinds of wonky-ness. Just hit the “Refresh” and enjoy some new dainties here on the Sketch Blog.

Probably the biggest reason for the change-up in look and feel of my blog is to get me a bit more excited about wanting to consistently keep a journal of my daily sketches and thoughts, but there were plenty of secondary reasons … namely, K2. With their ease-of-use improvements to the standard Wordpress environment, ability to add tons of features via plugin, and AJAX slick-ed-ness, it was a no-brainer to give it a go.

So while I have only made small adjustments to the default look and plan to make it all custom-fancy-beautiful, go ahead and definitely check out some of the additions:

• Nifty “Archives” slider that lets you look at past entries, without reloading the page.


• Flickr photos in the sidebar, along with my soon to be growing list of “Books I Just Read”


• Instant Searching


• Recent comments left by you, in the “Look Who’s Talking” sidebar


• Another beautiful background, courtesy of SF
