I don't know half of you half as well as I should like;
and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Brand New Look

I wasn't expecting to finish this up today, but things went well and I decided to make this go live early. Thanks in part from contributions from Shanna I give you: my new design. That's right; by donating to my site you can in fact make a difference. Although in all honesty, I've been wanting to change the look for quite some time, Shanna just reminded me that I wanted to.

This new look features a redesigned layout, with nice rounded corners, and bright vibrant colors. Also notable additions are new subpages loaded with helpful tidbits of information (unfortunately the "About Me" section is currently under construction but will soon be available). All your favorite features are still here, and feel free to explore the new ones.

I would like to point out, that those running Internet Explorer (I don't have nice words for you Microsoft), almost didn't get to view this new layout. IE is kind enough to the world to not conform to the coding standards for webpages like other browsers such as Firefox do. If you're still running Internet Explorer do yourself a favor and stop, trust me - you'll thank me in the end. Unfortunately although the site appears mostly correct in IE, it's not perfect, so if you find any bugs please feel free to let me know about them, I'd be happy to do what I can to fix them but I will not personally be doing any more IE debugging.

I'll go back to my regular posting some other day methinks, but in the mean time have fun with the new site.

Comments

Uh, I have a question....what is the langauge at the top of the page in the top banner? Is it supposed to be in a language other than english?! Nice look, but the way :)

Looks Great! My wife will especially enjoy it since blue is her favorite color. A touch of green here and there wouldn't hurt ;-)

Your comment on my blog was exactly right. Someone has defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results.

w00t for the new layout . . . I like the Black Speech. That's pretty nifty. I at first missed the Lamoka countdown, and I was very worried for about 2.7 seconds . . . I mean, I'm not going to go to the trouble of actually keeping track of it myself. I'm dependent on your blog to tell me these important things.

And the language of the Nazgul fits in with the whole blue bubble gum theme, how? ;-)
