Dirty Feed IV

Yo, babes. After nearly five years, it’s time for a bit of a change around here. Welcome to the fourth incarnation of Dirty Feed.¹ So what’s new?

In many ways: not much. Tags have been rethought somewhat; I was getting rather bored of writing “television, sitcom, comedy” for every single bloody post, so that nonsense has gone. In its place are a far more streamlined set of tags, along with a proper category system labelling articles as TV Comedy and the like. Far more pleasant and useful, I hope.

You’ll also note that the Twitter link in the header has permanently gone. I’m still around on Twitter, but the idea is to try and move away from it as the sole way of telling you all what I’m up to on here. The new Subscribe page is fairly basic at the moment, but over the next few months it should hopefully grow into something a little more interesting. I’ll keep things as vague as that for now.

But the main idea behind this redesign is to try and give this place a little more life. A splash more colour, quirkier but hopefully still readable fonts… and a brand new logo. Yes, that is a T. I think this spruce-up is more garish than the last design, and that is entirely deliberate. I’ll write a little more about this side of things in the days to come.

The usual health warnings apply; I’m still going through old posts to convert them to the new format, so don’t worry about any dodgy stuff there for now. In fact, while I say this every time, this design really is meant to be a work-in-progress rather something which sits there going mouldy. Let’s see if I manage to actually commit to that this time round, but I have plenty of ideas. Having said all of that, if you spot anything obnoxiously wrong, please let me know.

And for those of you who don’t give a tinker’s fuck about redesigns… hey, how about some brand new stuff on Smashie and Nicey: The End of an Era? OK, I’ll see what I can do.
