title: Redesign Musings
---

<p>
This site is badly in need of a redesign.  Not just a new theme either; I'd like to re-write the entire backend, and then port the themes.  The problem is, I absolutely <em>hate</em> breaking links.  Some of the content on this site going back to 1998, and I'd prefer not to break existing links if I can.  The last couple redesigns I've gone out of my way to preserve links, but I think this time around it might be time to make a clean break.  At the moment, I've cleaned up the sidebar and updated a few random pages, but I've noticed that maintaining this site is much more work than maintaining <a href='http://www.raggle.org/'>raggle.org</a> and <a href='http://www.paulduncan.org/'>paulduncan.org</a> (which is one of the reasons the latter gets updated so much more often).  I'll have to think about it a bit before I make any major changes.
