I've decided to learn better design practices the old fashioned way: by stealing them. I'm playing around with a fixed-width design, which seems to be somewhat standard practice among pretty sites. In doing so, I ran into the problem of the page titles being too long for the width. So I replaced "randomchaos" with a pseudo-logo - ®¤© - created with glyphs. Not sure I like it yet, but I'm going to give it a while to grow on me.
Changing Look
does the middle character symbolize something? or did you just like the look?
I needed something to make it look less like RC Cola. The middle character looked good enough.
