I know this happened weeks ago, but the metroblogs network, which also hosts the Vienna Metroblog, has been redesigned (just noticed that the front page hasn’t, but the city subpages have). The new design is really unlike everything you’d expect today (no rounded edges, no size 15 Arial font). It’s actually quite simple, and really quite easy on the eye. I’m no designer, so I couldn’t elaborate on extensive usage of whitespace, polka-dot wallpapers or horizontal drop-shadows, so just check it out and elaborate yourself.
