It's nothing flashy, but I now present to you the new and improved Monkey Robot! Here's a preview: click to enlarge Here are some of the goals I had in redesigning the site: Minimalist design emphasizes the content of the site. Almost all dimensions are specified using ems, which means the site should scale well under multiple resolutions and screen DPI's. (Previously, dimensions were expressed in pixels, which meant that the site didn't look that great in high resolutions or on really sharp screens.) Human-friendly URLs! (Much thanks to Janette for designing the text for the website logo, and everyone else who lent a hand in tweaking the logo for me.)

I removed the fixed logo (I know a few people liked it, but I think it was a bit distracting, particularly when reading the comments on blog posts). I also made the logo a bit smaller so it doesn't take up so much horizontal space. Thanks for all the feedback, everyone.
