Very clean. Glad you kept Kilroy/Chad/Foo.
You may want to consider turning your Archives into a pop-up list – it’s pretty bloody long. Or are you just trying to give the rest of us blog envy? ;-)
Consider it done!
Actually I not only kept it, I took a new picture. You’ll notice more grey hair in this one!
I did. It’s a look I’m getting used to every time I look in the mirror – the gravatar pic is from several years ago…
I’ve changed things around a bit from the original template, which was designed by Brian Gardner, and released under the GPL so people like me who are hopeless at designing templates can use it and tweak.
Apart from the top banner, the fonts have been switched so the headings are primarily sans serif and the main content is primarily serif. Brian’s original design had it the other way around.
I’ll continue tweaking as I go, but I’m pretty happy with it now.
Noticed the Twitter feed has vanished. Will look into it.
And Tony tells me that the dropdown menus don’t work in Safari on the Mac. They’re an unexpected bonus in this template, so will look at them at some stage, but not top priority.
This looks nice and fresh Daniel! Very clean styling.
I like the revamp. You are scowling a bit more in your new photo :)
I like the new look.
Thanks for moving the comments count to the bottom of the post.
Donna: I may vary the photos in future, try for something a bit more cheerful! (BTW I deliberately kept it in the spirit of not changing too much at once).
Tony: Yeah, that was bugging me too. And… umm… it still does on your blog…
Oh boy, I never realised that! I’ll change it tonight.
Phew…I thought I’d gone to the wrong site!
Nicely done. I need to redo mine.
Oooh . . .. sexy (website . . .)
Nicely done Daniel. Very clean, and easy to read. I prefer it to the old, but can’t really say why :)
could be my dodgy browser setup, but I found the old site easier to read :-)
Need some white space to the left of the page, and less white space between lines (comes up as doublespaced in my Firefox + IE)…
Thanks for all the comments. I’m still making adjustments.
Scott, yes agreed on whitespace between lines, have adjusted. There is some to the left of the page, but it seems to disappear on some browsers when zooming in; I’ll keep fiddling.
