I've made some tweaks to the visual side of this site, but there's a lot more to do before I can call it finished.

The header of this page lacks character and distinctiveness. The real reason for this is that I haven't figured out what I want it to do. It's very difficult to design a solution to a problem when you haven't figured out what that problem is.
The colour for the H1 on the homepage needs to be tweaked; it doesn't fit in with the rest of the colour-scheme.
I think some small, well designed icons could really help out here. At the moment the caret is a bit bland.
Moveabletype is fine for a single blog site, but it's pretty useless for what I want it to do. I've looked for a free CMS that does what I want, but nothing exists.
So, inspired by all the nifty features on Dunstan's blog, I thought it would be nice to be able to add some nifty features of my own to my site. This is not easy with Movabletype, because you're fighting against someone else's idea of what the software should do.
Of course, it would have to be written in a decent programming language, as opposed to some piece of crap.
I also need to build some of the sections of the site. Lots of work left to do.
