I have not yet made up my mind as to the specific template I am going to use, but I am definitely changing The Rundown's appearance, layout, and design.
We have simply outgrown this simple, yet effective, design. That's one of the problems with choosing a new one: I need a more robust (read: complex) template in order to effectively showcase all the features and functions available to you - but there are so many that I have yet to find a template that doesn't make it all look "busy."
When I got the new template for The OddBlog up, the very first thing I had to do was stop and go back through the tags (I took a break to write this because it is getting monotonous). I knew I had to do this because they're a mess (have been for some time now), just like here, but - also like here - I want them to be seen because there are tons of great posts buried in the archives that you wouldn't even know to look for, much less how to find, unless you saw a tag that interested you. But since I am changing the template because the sidebar has grown so long that it's just ridiculous, adding the tag cloud as-is would defeat the purpose.
Just a bunch of "ifs" and "maybes" at this point.
Anyway, check out The OddBlog and let me know what you think because the template I am considering for The Rundown is similar. Also, let me know if there's anything you'd like to see or any other suggestions you have.
Also, I finally got the Terms of Service for The Weirding up, and since The Rundown is part of the site, they apply here as well. It's just legalese, but if you are interested for any reason, feel free to check them out.
