Design Oddities
For some reason my design is behaving strangely. In Firefox, some of the bubble titles are sitting right on the line as they’re supposed to, but others are a few pixels above the line. In IE6, all of the titles are sitting on all of the lines, but there are no descenders; I guess IE … Continue reading
It’s Done For Real
I did it! I really did it. I made my ultimate blog design. It’s three columns, it has spiffy shapes for content blocks, it’s readable, it has a header I can change seasonally (or whatever), it’s easy to update, and in general it is snazzy. It’s the same as it was before except for now … Continue reading
Pretty Proud of Myself
I did it! I redesigned my website. I got rid of the skins and everything. I pulled a design from OWD.org and ported it to WordPress. It took a lot of tweaking to get everything the way I wanted it; instead of one big content box I wante one box per post, and I wanted … Continue reading
Radical Design Change
I’m thinking of changing my website design. A lot. I’ve had a skinned website for about four years…and it’s time for a change. I want standards compliance, 508 compliance, WordPress compatibility, a personal touch, shiny-ness, colors I like, ease of maintenance and plugin integration, etc. I’ve got a list of custom blog designers but I … Continue reading
Journal Designs
Now my LiveJournal matches my Vox, more or less. I switched from S1 to S2 on LiveJournal, which means my readers there will be seeing the change immediately because now individual entry pages also match the main design. (Previously, with S1, the individual entry pages were the LiveJournal default look rather than customized.) I did … Continue reading
Bullet Update
Today I am down to 161 pounds. I started 2006 at 187.5 pounds. That’s progress, but I still have a while to go. I now know three people who have the Sidekick 3. I am not one of them, and I only ever see one in person but he doesn’t usually have his with him … Continue reading
Zille’s Questions
I saw zille had posted a meme offering to interview her readers, so I signed up to be interviewed! Here are my answers. If you would like me to ask you five questions, feel free to request that in a comment. Of course you’re under no obligation to answer, or to offer to do the … Continue reading
Porting to Dreamhost
I did it. I signed up with Dreamhost using one of those promo codes. I should have done it through a friend so one of you would have gotten the money, but at least this way I didn’t have to play favorites amongst my several friends who host with them. I have mixed feelings about … Continue reading
Bloggish
I noticed that eudyptes‘s journal was looking rather spiffy, so I asked him about it. It turns out he’s using Bloggish, a new-ish layout for users of LiveJournal’s S2 system. (I consider anything since Refried Paper to be “new,” though.) So I went to check out Bloggish for myself. It turns out it’s based on … Continue reading
Winter Layout
Today is the first day of winter, so I’ve switched to the new winter layout I created a month or two ago. The only person I’d shown it to so far was Kristine, so pretty much everybody reading this should go take a look and let me know what they think. (That link is hard-coded, … Continue reading
