Morisy.com

I'm bringing the Morisy.com design up to the latest version of Instant Design. Overall it's not too drastic a change, but some images will likely break for a bit and the front page will require some heavy lifting. I've mostly been prepping it over at Spare Change News, which has forced me to get rid of much of the Morisy-specific cruft.

Also, it'll introduce drop-down menus. Let me know if you hate it in the comments!

By day, I primarily wear the "journalist" hat, but lately I've gotten involved with Spare Change News as a volunteer on the Development Committee. I'm sure I'll be writing more about them in the future, but suffice to say Spare Change is a street newspaper that's designed to be an accessible form of self-employment for homeless or formerly homeless individuals.

I was asked to help re-design their website:

So I'm working on the re-design which is going swimmingly and forcing me to work a bit more on Instant Design, but while I've found an excellent Drupal drop-down menu tutorial, I can't get rid of the damn unordered list bullet stylings, despite using the style: blank; tag or whatever it is.

The result is not pretty:

And that's why you're getting this wonky design rant rather than a post on SEO for journalists, like I've been planning for weeks.

Updated: I removed some spelling errors and a few rather unnecessary snarky remarks.
