Yep.

Ok, so this is the new design. The archives still show the old design, but that should change this weekend. I have a couple of changes in addition to the design and a medium sized announcement later.

  1. I really dig the new look. Very nice.

  2. Wow! Stunning–I love the picture on the top. It looks very polished and cohesive.
    With all the recent blog redesigns, I’m starting to feel left behind. I don’t think I have the energy to rework everything, but I’m seriously considering adding a third color to my orange/grey scheme.

  3. Beth, Thanks for the complements on the photo! :) I took that on my trip to Hilton Head, SC earlier this year. I had my camera and saw this stunning site, and my light setting were good. The photo is direct from the camera, no photoshop editing at all. It was a lucky shot. The camera is a Canon a40.

  4. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you.
    You stink!!!
    I have a *very* similar layout sitting my desktop that I can’t use now :)

  5. Very nice, Mike.
    I especially like the color choices and the tightened up sidebar. I also agree with the fixed width, that is a direction I’ve been drifting myself. For text heavy sites like a weblog I think controlling the line lengths is more important than using every inch of screen available, I have little patience for lines of text that span a thousand pixels of screen, they make my eyes hurt.
    The real list for the sidebar links is also a nice touch and something I really should get around to doing myself… why not go the extra step and make the blogroll an inline list?
    Also, you may want to look into a macro for escaping the ampersands in entries, this seems to be the only thing with the exception of a couple of missing meta tag closers preventing validation. I’m way too lazy to remember to do it manually, and use a modified version of Brad Choates suggestion found at http://www.bradchoate.com/askbrad/001366.php

  6. Sorry Al.:) I’d been working on some real fancy design, but for a weblog that design didn’t work as expected. This is about the fourth design I’ve been testing. Then I started looking over at the HBO website and this design is mainly inspired by them.
    The blogroll is a test, It’s a little different for me. I don’t know if I’ll keep it “real”.
    I have a couple of changes left to make, but with my main machine down, they’ll have to wait. Homesite under Windows 2000 has saved my butt this week.

  7. Wow, very good-looking!
