New blog design and functionality

A new year and a new design - late I know but here non-the-less.

So why a new design?

A couple of reasons. In my last few updates I haven't been able to have more that one "related entry" per entry due to an error on my behalf. This is now fixed.

In an effort to clean up the side pods I've started using/testing out Spry.

It includes the gravatar fix.

Plus I just wanted a bit more of a cleaner design.

Why the silly "web 2.0" beta style logo - cause I can. In reality I've been playing around with a new pre-release graphics program which I was taking for a test ride.

I've also added a Digg it links to my posts. Though why someone would I don't know?

Thanks Ray for keep on putting out a good blog!

Should I ask what you all think??? Hmmmm....well??

Cool use of Spry in the sidebars. I like it!

I like this one much better then the old black and just as much as the last design. I'm digging the spry accordions too - I may have to "borrow" that one...

I hate to say it but there may still be a comment issue. I didn't get an email about your reply...maybe I didn't subscribe?

Testing my email now. let me know if you get this sent via email please

It appears, at least on my XP Pro box in FF 2.0.1, that your subscribe pod needs to open a little more. The comments header is cutting the bottom edge off the subscribe button.

@Bryan, That should now be fixed

Also the left menu vanishing on IE has now been resolved.

Posted By todd sharp @ 1/18/07 2:10 AM

Nope, never got any of the emails for these comments.

Posted By todd sharp @ 1/18/07 2:18 PM
