MightyFunk Design News Update

One of my other web­sites, Mighty­Funk Design News was recently updated. I used the same basic tem­plate as I did for this site because I had liked it so much — clean and sim­ple. Quite frankly, I just don’t have the time to cus­tom design every one of my web­sites unless I’m get­ting paid to do so, so reusing this site tem­plate seemed like a per­fect match.

Just to recap the pur­pose of Mighty­Funk, it’s a web­site that func­tions as a RSS feed with an inter­face which con­tains brief excerpts or snip­pets of design-related news. It’s not meant as a per­ma­nent replace­ment for the orig­i­nal author’s arti­cles and web­sites, but merely a brief syn­op­sis in case a topic or arti­cle looks inter­est­ing. I mainly designed it for my own infor­ma­tion, inspi­ra­tion, and curios­ity, but thought oth­ers might find the sites I fre­quent useful.

The prob­lem with my pre­vi­ous Mighty­Funk sys­tem and design is that it was eat­ing up my server’s resources and was becom­ing increas­ingly slow over time. My host and I could never fig­ure out what was caus­ing these per­for­mance issues and I was get­ting hit with a nasty host­ing bill because of it every month.  Mighty­Funk stood paused for a lit­tle over a year’s time, but now it’s up and run­ning again and bet­ter than ever. Only time will tell if the site gets bloated again.

Cur­rently, it stands at over 35,349 posts. That’s an awful lot of posts… If you have a moment, please check it out!
