You’ll notice the redesign. What do you think?
This is the result of the last three nights hammering away trying to get my not-that-analytical brain around Cascading Style Sheets and then putting them onto Movable Type. This will mean nothing to most of you, but I’ll just say on Tuesday I knew nothing and now I know something. Which is always a good thing.
The main change is that each post now has a catagory so if you want to look at all my depressive moans about how miserable I am in one chunk you can click on Head or if you want to see all the web-based stupidities I”ve linked to, click on Distractions.
As well as this, all the comments are now part of the same system so they work quicker and are less likely to vanish. In fact, the whole program runs on peteashton.com so it’s quicker all round. I don’t have to rely on 3rd party programs at all.
Oh, and there’s this Extended Entry thing so when I start rambling I won’t clog up the front page…
I’ve moved all the posts from Volume 2 over to MT which means a lot of comments are no longer here (they did not import well), so I’ve kept the Blogger version of Volume 2 online, as well as to preserve permalinks.
From a design point of view, I’ve tested this on IE5 and Mozilla 0.9.9 on a Mac. If it doesn’t work on a PC that well, please let me know.
The next stage is to apply what I’ve learned to the BugPowder blog and get that up and running. Hopefully it should be quicker than this marathon. Still, that’s what hollidays are for.
Nice look.
That looks great. Good colours (yay!) resizes nicely, links tighter, easy-to-find links to the pictures. Great!
