Redesign: All Clear! (I Hope)
January 12th, 2009 | View Comments
Aaaand we’re done! If you notice something looks weird or doesn’t work, please either leave a comment or e-mail me. Be sure to note:
- Browser (including version number)
- Windows, Mac, or Linux
In case you’ve forgotten already, here’s what the blog used to look like:
The new design has the same feel as the old one, but should load faster and it makes better use of the available screen space. The trade-off is that it’s less friendly to those at 800×600 and below.
Less Obvious Changes:
- New pattern templates. Achernar has been significantly re-worked, the rest just got a facelift.
- About/Contact pages are gone. Everything you need to know is in the top right corner.
- New commenting functions and organization. Go ahead, try it! We’ve got gravatars, threaded comments, and subscribe to comments so you can get an e-mail whenever a new comment is posted.
Plus lots of nifty changes to the backend that make my life easier.
And remember that scarf pattern? It will be up later this week. A sneak peek (unless you’ve already seen my Ravelry projects):

I like the redesign! It’s easier to read, at least for me. Did you have that cable (on the left side) before? If so, I never noticed it – nice.
And I’ll be waiting anxiously for that scarf pattern…
The cable was actually in the background before. I shrunk it and stuck it in the left border for the sake of design continuity.
can’t wait for the cool pattern… of course, i already have a million and two scarves, but what’s another one, right?
Wonderful new design. The name of your blog caught my eye – very clever!
Welcome to the blog! I hope you stick around.
