Some of the readers seem like the look of this blog. Some do not only like the look of it but also go so far to email me to tell me about it. (Which is always nice, of course.) It would be wrong to try to take credit for something I have not really coded, so I have to admit, again, that I might have somehow had an idea as to how the page should look, but honestly, I could not code my way out of a little brown bag (even with a yellow arrow spray-painted inside, believe me,) and so what you think looks like my work here is put together by hand, in London, by Tom. He is the one who coded the random image on top of this page, and he is the one who made some subtle changes to his older design yesterday... The stylesheet looks different now, we are still tweaking some of the colors and font sizes and things.
You will notice that I decided to drop this world map I used to have here on the page, as it was only really good in kicking people off the face of its New-Zealand-less world. Tom and I are now talking about an "about me page", a feature of the site which the shy me has kept under wraps for several years now... oh, and if I am really nice, we might actually get a little gallery section going, a place where it will be finally possible to exchange some of those seemingly unlimited edition portraits of dead american presidents into something created to increase in value. (Those donation badges on the right hand side of the page are just fakes, and very temporary...)
But until this all happens, Tom and I would like to see this page through your eyes. So please either link to a screenshot of this very page in the comment box, or if you feel more shy about your possibly exposed links, you can still email me...
So here again, credit where credit is due: Tom Flemming is the man behind the H, the T, the M and even the L of this page. Some code snippets were provided by Blogrolling, Chris DiClerico, and a mysterious visitor.
(If you contributed and I have not mentioned you here, let me know.)
The new colors taste like spring. This is what it looks like in IE 5.1 on OS9.
Wit,
You need to fix 2 things.
1. On IE on PC, every time you load your site, it asks whether or not you want to install this iTunes detector component. It asks every time if you say no. It obviously has something to do with your new fangled iTunes button. I installed the component just to shut it up.
2. The links in your sideblog are the same color as the text. That sucks. You can't be hunting around for which clever word will be the link.
Otherwise, this site looks great. Keep up the great work.
As a side note, it appears my site has slowed down significantly and rebuild times are unreasonably long. I think this is a known problem with Jay Allen's MT-Blacklist plugin that I just installed for stopping comment spam. I think he fixed it already, I just haven't been able to upgrade yet.
hey witold... haven't been much 'round lately but i really like the new look!... it's very refreshing... a lot lighter... vivid color pics [however, i do miss your drawings]... yea, i had a problem with the itune pop-up thingie too... there's only one thing i'd like to point out if i may... i'll send you a screenshot because it could be a problem just on my end... errrr, not on my "end" i mean on my side... uhhh you know what i mean... great job on the redo!
