There’s a new Mozilla blog in town…the Mozilla Blog. To quote the blog itself, it’ll be “a 360 degree look at the goings-on within the Mozilla community, including news, opinions, events, tips & tricks and more.”

From a design perspective, we tried to integrate the blog pretty closely with the existing look at Mozilla.com. I see those blue & orange gradients as a strong online brand element for us, so it made sense to keep them going here. We wanted it to have a distinctly “by the people” feel, so each post will be accompanied by a little avatar representing the poster. Hopefully that will give it a nice, friendly look, especially as the photos build up over time.

My esteemed colleague Mary Colvig will be the blog’s editor, and it should have some good stuff in it. Also, thanks to Boris Anthony for bringing his WordPress skills to this project.
