Feed

Excited about having elements other than posts appear in the blog feed – with their position determined procedurally.


Work on the links to more posts from the post page for the FFL blog.


Full-width code blocks for blog posts. And a color scheme drawn from our book colors – will probably tweak colors some more.


Still working on balancing the link elements with the post ones. I want to make them feel at home in the site design but I also want to set them off from the post links and show that they're less important.


Some general clean-up and some more work on the link blocks.


Trying to figure out a link element design that will look good with a variety of links. I also need to be make sure there's a noticeable hierarchy where links are less important than posts.


I made more tweaks and the grid is now responsive. Added the featured post back in.


A more stylized post preview/link for the blog. Still thinking/tweaking.


Trying out a featured post template.


Working on integrating preview images in to the blog home page.

I had looked at untold stories before for inspiration but went back to it to check out how they get so much mileage out of a few default fonts.

Really well executed and consistent styling here, even if it's not an aesthetic I'm drawn to.
