As for search and archive, I explained above: <em>The theme does currently have its shortcomings, such as no way to search or get to the archives, although this was a deliberate decision made when I first began the design of this (as a magazine-like format, I wanted to place extreme emphasis upon the current content as opposed to existing content.) I’m sure that will change as I evolve this and realise what is working and what isn’t.</em> Good call on the Labs needing "Read more…" links — the Labs page uses a bit of a different content system than the front page (being based on WordPress Pages as opposed to Posts,) but that consistency should remain. For now, &c. isn't gonna change much I don't think. &c. is a fun diversion and I'd rather de-emphasise it over the current Socialuxe content. Rudolf, you have a couple of good detail points.

Also, on the laboratory category page the "Read more..." link for individual posts that is established on the frontpage is missing. This may be intentional, seeing as this design is a large departure from your previous forays, but thought I would mention it as it is something I was personally looking for from a user standpoint. That said, I like the redesign very much [especially from a color palette standpoint] but miss some of the quick links that I encountered with hyalineskies. Particularly the aforementioned archive accessibility [for reference, nostalgia, and perspective] but also the cohesiveness of the various lines of thought: With hyaline your Personal, Professional, and Project work was, though clearly demarcated, easily accessible from a common language and navigation structure. As it exists today I see your Socialuxe articles, the &c Scrapbook, and your Lab work all individually addressed but with no unifying characteristics other than CSS attributes. What I would like to see from a design standpoint is a universal or at least prevalent navigational element utilized. Again, the design / architecture, is nothing less than pleasant and it is lovely to see you writing again about issues I am interested in. From a consistent viewer standpoint is, really, where my comments come from. Within your own context it seems like this transition from Facebook to indie-startup was a brave move on your part. Keep up the beautiful work and I look forward to reading about your progress in the future. Blessings in your new endeavors!
