Unofficial Design Challenge: Network Layout

[Robin]

Hey all! This is my current network layout in question, interactive at http://network.withinmyworld.org/:
It was a great centered design when I had less links, but now that the network has expanded (and will expand more in the coming year), I need a new, more organized, and flexible look. Problem? Can't seem to come up with one, despite months of trying.

So, I'll throw this out here for an unofficial "Amassment design challenge"--how would you lay out this information differently? Post screenshots, demos, brainstorming, etc.!

What about not having the main sections (Basic info, etc.) in columns but rather in rows, and then the links under each category in columns? If I am explaining myself (if not I can make a mockup)

Hmmm...

(I am amazed you put your LinkedIn there. I wouldn't want my real name associated with my hobbies in any way!)

@Dubs: I thiiiink I get what you're saying, but a mockup would most likely ensure it. Having a serious case of "morning brain" over here, LOL

@Nyx: yeah, I was kinda on the fence about including any of my social media links at first, but this is my one and only domain, so it's really the only thing I have online where prospective webdesign employers will be able to see all the types of work I've done over the years. Plus, I'm pretty proud of the sites I have up and don't mind if people IRL know what I geek out about ^_^

Something like this. And good morning to you! XD

I see! An excellent point. Writing and translating is my life, but given what I write most of the time... yeah, no one needs to know :P

@Nyx: LOL yeah there are a feeeew links I haven't included for reasons, XD!!

@Dubs: OOO that is COOL! Helps it look lots less cluttered already! (And with that setup, I could make the layout centered horizontally but not vertically, and it would still look good--less work for me XD)

Here's what I came up with for the "newish" network look! Thank you for the inspiration, Dubs! :D :D :D *high five*

[Lethe]

The new look is great!! :D

[Robin]

@Lethe: thank you! :D (yay for random bursts of energy to do things XD)
