Finally upgraded

I finally managed to updated my blog code to version 5 of Rays code.

The upgrade went smoothly as usual, with the only problem being changing the layout. I don't think I like the one I have at the moment but I have been after a three column design for a while. I found this layout at the Open Source Web Design site. It was simple easy to implement, like most of there designs are. I do miss the black but I had had a few complaints about it being hard to read on light text on the dark background so I figured there were probably more out there that weren't being verbal.

Andy,
The new layout looks great, remember functionality is better than presentation. That being said I was a big fan of the black layout but it is much better that your running the latest build.

I like this design MUCH better than the black one. I'm still partial to the light bulb design you used to have, though.

Cheers for the comments all!

@Ray & Dan - Most my icons come from http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/ - a truly amazing set of free small icons. Also you will want to try http://sweetie.sublink.ca/

@Mike - I just about remember the Light Bulb design. Im gonna have to go through some archives to remind myself again!

@Lola - The design I used was http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2493. I've changed a little but not much. Im thinking about going over the header with something else??? I dunno what though.
