Virtual Magpie (the equivocal adventures of Megan M.)

Many of you know who Kit is; for those who don’t, Kit O’Connell is a writer in College Station, TX who recently moved his public blogging from LiveJournal to a private installation of WordPress entitled “approximately 8,000 words“. (Turns out some Russians bought LiveJournal; prognosis is uncertain.) He came up with a seriously excellent design concept, and even considering that he started his efforts with a pre-existing theme, his results are pretty awesome. He says:

I am designing this website to mimic the standard short story manuscript format which professional writers use to submit their work. I still have some tweaks to make, but so far I am pleased with its appearance.

I love the idea and it’s very appealing. I think it will work well for him. Though he’s not quite finished yet, this is probably one to keep your eye on — Kit’s always had great writing (and great thoughts on writing) up his sleeve. But I just had to mention the design fu. ;}
