Careful, wet paint! »

FERDY CHRISTANT - NOV 18, 2005 (02:54:47 PM)

It's been 18 months since I released this blog. As most of you know, it runs on a custom blog engine. The blog engine allows you to change the look & feel of the site, without touching any code. Even with this flexibility I never made an attempt for a redesign. Today I have, and you're looking at the first preview (hit Ctrl+Refresh if you're not seeing it). The most important changes:

  • The page is wider, this allows me to publish bigger images without running into problems
  • The page does not start at the absolute top of the browser window anymore
  • A new, bigger header graphic. It seems to be a trend, so let's follow
  • A different font, some slight color changes for the headers
  • Some updated graphics, such as a new page background and RSS icons

As for the header menu, I still need to give it a lick of paint. The pages behind the options need an update as well, so I disabled the menu options for now.

Hope you like the change!

comment » Looks pretty good Ferdy! The only thing I'd look at would be the header image - LOTS of compression artifacts - you might look to turn this into a GIF or even PNG given that its vector based.

Other than that, keep up the good work! «
