Color Update
I decided to break up the monotony of the older design by doing some restyling and changing the color scheme. The teal is the same as before, but I've added red and green to make a simple yet effective tri-color style. I think these small variations do a lot to make the site more interesting and appealing, as not everything is the same exact color in every place. Now, the home page and posts are color coded blue, the resume is red, and the external links in the nav bar are green.
I also made a few slight alterations in other areas to improve readability. I removed the rounded border edges, and links outside of the nav bar no longer have borders at all. The old link borders were causing strange tangent issues on some browsers, and I felt it would be more aesthetically appealing to revert to a simpler link style than to give links additional padding just to accommodate the borders.
