Just in time for the new year, a big CSS reboot.

Quick and hacked together but I fairly pleased with the results. The single column feels more spacious, allowing for larger photos to be posted, and putting the sidebar on a diet while shoving it down towards the footer seems to help keep focus on the content. It is a bit of a cheat, as I chainsawed the default theme and re-used aspects of the old theme.

I’m very happy with how the footer worked out, especially the posts, comments, and albums. Not half bad for a hack of a sysadmin playing as a designer for an evening and it was fun to play around with CSS and get a little deeper with how WordPress is laid out.

Love the pig.

Pardon Our Appearance

The move went somewhat smoothly, with the database backup needing a minor tweak as I am running MySQL 5.0 at home and 1and1 is running 4.0.whatever. The biggest headache has been migrating all the old uploads and themes which for whatever reason was causing piles of permissions errors. Because of that odd snag I’ve decided to start with a fresh coat of CSS which explains the fugly. Bear with me while I try and get things looking nice again. :-D

CSS Reboot

Well, my own version of it, anyways. Spent the weekend learning Inkscape and generating several banners before setting on this one which blends several colors from Gabriella’s room (painting on the mind) and makes use of a re-mixed assassin. Quite pleased with everything, if I don’t say. ;-)
