So what do you think of the new blog template?

I am very proud of myself cause it didn't originally come with comments or archives enabled but I figured out how to put them in!

Anyway I hope you like it!

Also my fab husband was a bit miffed I didn't mention him in my likes accept for offering my condolences, so for the record I am very fond of the shortest member and sistagurl and husband fella.

15 Comments:

Nice design, looks nice and arty, but if I may offer constructive criticism:
*The mouse cursor changing isn't cool. It's too web kiddie
*A little more contrast would make it easier to read, particularly the sidebar

But aside from that, good work, I'm impressed!

your links appear to be dead ;-)

It appears this blog is not Firefox friendly!

The links work for me......(?) What is firefox?
I will see what I can do about the contrast but I kinda like the cursor......

Hey Jono- that would be great if you could take a quick look.
It looks different when I view it at home at well...funny

Also Nato- I didn't write the template got it off blogskins.com- I just modified it a bit

It's pretty tragic aye... I might just make one from scratch!.... rather than fixing all those issues.

How could such a pretty blog be so tragic? As I said I can pay you in ice cream but don't go to too much trouble if is a hassle.

By Blogger Anita, at 2:35 pm, July 11, 2005  


haha.. yeah I know it does seem weird. Lets put it this way... your template has lots of make-up! On top it looks good... but underneath there is problems...

hmm. I had already checked it in IE and it looks the same.

Invalid code is one reason I dumped blogger.com. I was learning xhtml at the time and chose to start with strict. Why strict? Because I wanted to stay away from all the bad html Micro$oft has taught ppl to use ;-)

I've killed my share of web pages in the past too. Probably more than my share.

It's not blogger.com fault that people make templates with bad code.

By Blogger Jonathan, at 10:44 am, July 12, 2005  


Blogger's premade templates at the time I was using it were bad code ;-) But it was their lack of service that really annoyed me. Blogs not updating for days on end etc.
