Interview with Peter
Earlier today I was able to snag an interview with Peter:
Me: So, Peter, I noticed there have been some changes in the site design over the past few hours.
Peter: Yeah, some tweaks. I was toying with a completely new design, but to be honest the current one isn't that bad. So I removed the brown background, placed some of the biographical navigation stuff up top since the red bar was kind of a waste otherwise. Little things, but I think it goes a long way.
Me: Any more changes in store?
Peter: Well, since I've finally joined the 20th century like FDR addressing the nation on the telly by starting to use Twitter, I'll be adding a Twitter feed to the page. And the navigation bar is going to be condensed down some. It's kind of cumbersome right now. I'm also debating rotating the images at the top instead of having a static banner.
Me: What about content? You don't really seem to write much anymore?
Peter: Yeah, no shit. That needs to change, and I think it will. This is all part of that motivation to actually get off my lazy bum and write. I get the feeling it might actually happen this time. Having a better site design, oddly enough, helps because I don't look at the site and go "wow, I want NOTHING to do with that."
Me: What about people who read your posts as Facebook notes? Does this mean anything to them?
Peter: Well, they can bookmark exit670.com and read them there, too, with pretty colors and such. It's kind of a big deal.
Me: People know it?
Peter: Looking at my visitor stats…no.
