Art Direction for Static Sites

Your personal site is your playground. Overhearing some recent chatter about putting the personality back in personal websites, I thought it might be helpful to share how I’ve been approaching art direction on my blog. I have a bit of experience here, in fact years ago during the heyday of “blogazines”, I forked and maintained an art direction plug-in for WordPress. It adds a text field for either global and page level styles and scripts enqueues those in the appropriate places. It wasn’t pretty but did the job and is in use on big sites like CSS-Tricks.
