A (less) radical new look

Fri, 24/06/2011 - 16:24

I’ve decided to go for a cleaner, simpler, less cluttered look to P.OST. I prefer the sense of open spaces at the moment. I’ll take the opportunity, while I’m at it, to thank everyone profusely for stopping by and joining in the conversation occasionally. If you have family, friends or colleagues who might be interested in a narrative-historical take on the future of evangelical theology, why not click on the little mail icon at the bottom of a suitable post to send them a link. Happy theologizing!

Hi Andrew,

I'll miss that banner--twas one of the cool things about the site !

Speaking of narrative-historical takes,  I was wondering if you've ever written about your personal journey towards this was way of theologizing--and living.
As a "serious" lay person, I must say this lens has been immensely beneficial in reading/studying scripture.

Cheers !

Yes, the banner was cool. I’ll have a think about your other question.

Well, if too many people complain, I can always change it back.

I like the less cluttered look.

The new banner does tend to disappear, and my eyes find the mixed upper and lower case letters of the typeface you've chosen for the headings a bit difficult to decipher, especially with a long string of words.

I agree with Olumide: I'd be hugely interested in your own tale.

Thank you for the feedback, Dana (and others). A number of people suggested to me that 3.0 was too stark, even too Mac, which was the final nail in the coffin; and you were right to say that the heading font was difficult to read. Both my wife and a good friend who is staying with us at the moment also pointed out that the banner image gives an important sense of place. The current image is from the dome of the Patriarchal Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Cairo, built in 1623, which we visited shortly before Egypt was turned upside down in the Arab Spring. We are very glad to be living in this region at such a significant time—significant for the Arab world generally but also for the struggling Arab churches.
