Mr Moll Redesigns
Cameron Moll has launched a redesign and, in an insightful post, explains how and why he arrived at the design decisions he reached.
With an emphasis on re-adressing the balance between articles and links, specifically, “marrying articles with links and providing a continuous stream of content for the reader,” Moll quotes John Gruber, a pioneer of this style of ‘continuous stream’ writing. Gruber states:
Honestly, I love this format so much I wish more sites used it. There are so many sites I like, but don’t love because they don’t allow themselves to simply link to something with a few words rather than craft a 250 word wrapper for every entry.
Regular readers won’t be surprised to hear we’re ardent admirers of the continuous stream approach and Moll’s redesign, which places a greater emphasis on content, is a welcome one indeed.

It's also guilty of a not insubstantial degree of hyperbole…
