It Happened Again

November 13th, 2008 by maple

Remember how I said that the new design would take a while? Yeah, it didn’t. As with my photography site, I started working on this one and couldn’t stop. I really like it. Again, as with the photography site, I didn’t design it. The design is from Aaron Ganschow and is called Tidy Blog.

I have added lots to the design however, like the Recently Dugg and Recently Played in the sidebar. Plus, I had to make it play nice with Wordpress. At the bottom you’ll find my recent flickr uploads. You can also find these on the “Photos” page. The search works too. I decided to include it this time around, which required me to make it work. I’ve never bothered with search before, but the bar was already there.

I’m still not sure about the logo I created, so that may change. What do you guys think about it? There are some other things that will probably change in the near future. What do you think of it so far? I hope you like it.

    Hey Joel, it has been a while…how’s it going? Hopefully you remember me, otherwise the rest of this is going to sound creepy, haha. How’s geology/the U of C treating you these days?

    As to the redesign, good work– it looks much cleaner and more open than your previous theme. Also, how did you get the last.fm feed to work with Wordpress? I’m assuming you didn’t use their widget-thing…which is what I am using on my blog, and it looks terrible.

    Cheers! :)

    Thanks, I’m glad you guys like it.

    Tamara, how could I forget? The U of C is good. I’m really liking geology, which is awesome. Yeah, I’m definitely not using their widget. I used the FeedList plugin to display the recently played and recently dugg.

    I really like the new design! Lots better than the old one. I’m not sure about the logo though…

    Yeah, I’m not either. I can totally see it being one of those things that I plan on changing but never do.

I am soooo fake pre-loading this image so the navigation doesn't skip while loading the over state. I know I could use the sliding doors technique to avoid this fate, but I am too lazy.
