Facelift

I thought this new layout would kill two birds with one stone, both giving the blog a fresh look and fixing the font issue I’ve had for the last few days. Apparently only the former was successful. Sorry, I’m still working on getting rid of this ugly font. In the meantime, let me know what you think about the new look. Is the old layout better? Should I keep experimenting?

  1. New look is cleaner if a little impersonal. Once you’ve thrown up a banner, a few flashing hyperlinks, some animated GIFs, and a whole lot of ads to sites of dubious quality, you’ll have one of the best looking sites around!

    In all seriousness, the new look makes the site easier to read.

    To fix your font woes, take a look at your HTML template. Find anything regarding “bodyfont”, “headerfont”, “pagetitlefont”, “descriptionfont”, etc. Try experimenting with different font names (Arial, Times New Roman, etc.) until you find something you like.

    E-mail me if you need a hand.

  3. I like the new look, colors, fonts, etc. But I notice that the width of the text is fixed (and more narrow than before), at least on my browser. I have to do a bit more scrolling as a result. But I suppose that’s a minor point.

  5. Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

    Michael,

    The template I’m using has to employ the fixed width text because of the way it builds the round shapes. I’m sure there are ways around that using vectors or something but I don’t know nearly enough about HTML/CSS to do that.

    Yen,

    Thanks but I hate the font. I’ve taken Klopzi up on his offer of assistance and hopefully it will be gone soon.

  6. Like the layout and dont actually mind the font.

    It sort of suits you, in a 1970’s freelance journalist with a typewriter kind of way ;-D
