Well since you asked ...
The template looks broken, too much white space especially when I am looking a single post compared to the main blog page.
The right hand navigation is pushed to the far right.
I can't click on the Humour, Gossip etc and go to your category.
I like the blue colour :)
Nice work.. but it will take time for me to adjust .. to the new one .. U can do a bit more finishing on the dimensions of the boxes and the header. (my opinion)
I like it. It upset me at first, because I don't like change and you didn't ask me if you could change your template (lol) ... but now that I am over the shock, I like it.
However, I'm a detail whore. And one of my favorite details on your blog was your copyright line at the bottom "All rights reserved, bitch." I loved that. It's that personal touch that made us feel welcome and loved. I loved it so much I even considered stealing it. Put it back. Please. :)
@ Liz:
Yeah, I noticed that. I guess expanding the post area on the main page would make it better. As far as the post page goes, I guess it will look filled once the comments flow in :P. And good you noticed the right-hand navigation, I'll get right on it now.
About the humor, gossip etc. its not meant to be clicked :P. It's part of the header image.
@ Jay:
Yep, box dimensions I'm going to work on. But whats wrong with the header?
@ Cap:
LOL! Next time I'm doing a major overhaul, I'll ask for your permission ;). LOL! Okay, I'll put that line back on.
Thanks for the updates you guys, I'll get to fixing shit now. Y'all better like it when I'm done with it :|
I like the drop down menus at the top. That's badass in my book. The template does look broken in IE, but it was fine in Firefox. I downloaded Firefox, are you proud of me?
Aww man! I forgot to check out the template in IE. I almost forgot such a browser even existed! But now that you mentioned it, yeah... it looks weird in IE. Got a lot of fixing to do :-<.
But its good you downloaded firefox (finally)! I don't have to get to fixing it immediately 'cause most of my regular readers are firefox users! I can finally say I'm proud of Cap :P.
OMG OMG *COMPLETELY HYPER*
I can't believe I hadn't snooped around at slim's flickr account - I am sooooo slacking. Good and fun pics my friend :)
Back to your blog, oki no clicking on the header. When I looked at second time I saw the category and the cool drop down menu.
LOL! Haven't uploaded anything on Flickr in a while. Added you back!
Yeah, it all looks good in Firefox. But as Cap pointed out, its a mess in IE :(
Fix it so that it looks good in IE, too, even if most of your readers are cool and use Firefox.
Do it because A) I need to boss you around because you didn't ask my permission to change your template
B) Because all of my bookmarks and all my school stuff is on IE and so even though I have Firefox, I still tend to use IE.
C) because I need to boss you around
Oh man! It really looks good on Firefox now, after I reduced the whitespace!
Yeah Cap, I'm going to do that. But not now, my sleep cycle has just reversed thanks to all that time I took overhauling. Gotta sleep now. Will fix it later today/tonight. You can still pretend you bossed me around to finish it when I finally do finish it :P.
Cap - you can import your bookmarks from IE to firefox. Have you had a look at slims flickr?
You're right, it does look even better now in Firefox. I should work on transferring my bookmarks and stuff from IE so that I can use this all the time.
And thanks for putting the copyright line back ... that makes me smile every time I see it. What can I say? I'm easily amused. ;)
Yeah. For the first time in my life, I'm proud of myself. Way to go, Slim! (pats his own back) :D. I guess I'll get to work on the IE issue from tomorrow. Got to post something now. And like Liz says, its easy to import your IE bookmarks to Firefox.
Ah new template,it looks pretty cool but it's a little too white.I think you could give the background a light bluish tinge or something like that.I think that'd be cool.
You can choose to ignore that,I'm bad at designs :-j
Yes, even I thought a tinge of blue would be better on the eye. Just haven't gotten to decide which blue would look good. Or maybe a grayish blue. This template isn't by any means complete... yet :-<
Hey slim, your long party post (pause: LOL again) it was really easy to read so the userability gets top mark on your new template.
Yay! I get a cookie at last!
