I'm about to implement a major redesign… I'm aiming to finish 95% of this tonight… but we'll see… I apologize in advance if things get really funky.
UPDATE Well I think I have to pack it up for tonight… I think I did get most of the design in place. I plan to add a "user-friendly" FAQ – which will explain the icons below (just mouseover them for now to see what they are, in case you don't know – yeah, I know, bad UI design… commonly referred to as "mystery meat" navigation… well there's a lot I put in here that followed more traditional "rules".. I had to break them SOMEWHERE!) 😉
In place of a FAQ – here's a quick rundown on what's here… This is a CSS-only layout. I've done away with the traditional "skins"… but you can customize the colors… (scroll down – on the right side bar – you can select one of the "presets" or enter in your own hex value)
I tried to keep this design as "simple" as possible. I've also tried to take into consideration some of the feedback I've gotten about the site over the past few months. For example – one complaint was the font size… you can now scale the font – using the font size menu in your browser…
The sidebar uses that "gadget" script… minimize boxes, move them up, etc.
I'm also using that "hotlist" script I had out as in beta testing last week. I'll be releasing that script in a few days. What a hotlist is; you can add posts (from this blog) to it… either because you want to reference it later, or because you want to "bookmark" it… Click on the "hot pepper" with the "+"… to remove a post from your list, click on the "hot pepper" with the "x".
The rest should be relatively self explanatory… let me know if you see anything that's broken…
'Nother update: Just tweaked the code a bit so you can change the font on this site only (ie. so you don't have to go and change it in your browser). Also fixed Amy's and Kristine's Tip jars so they actually work now.
Still on my list to be fixed:
-trackback pop up page
-send entry pop up page
(anything else??)
