Lamp Post Project: Version 3.0!

September 07, 2008 :: Sunday

Remember that time that I said I was working on a new layout for the site? Well, this is it! Haha, it took forever (I put the project on hold for awhile), but I finally got inspired on Friday and finished it up last night.

It's very Fall-ish, which is weird for me, because I usually choose my color schemes regardless of the time of year. So this is kind of cool, I think.

This is my first layout using Photoshop, but really I only used it for the header image. Still, I loved Photoshop. As much as I tried not to.

I'm sure you'll notice that I added a few more features, like the "Your favorites" and "My favorites" sections. "Your favorites" are simply based on the number of comments that entry received, and "My favorites" are entries that I wish more people would have read.

Also, I'm happy to announce that for the first time, this (a new layout) is compatible with Firefox AND Internet Explorer at the same time! You're proud, right? :) It was quite a challenge, mind you. Effing nested div layers. ^^

So anyway, ignore the valid XHTML and valid CSS links down in the footer for awhile, because there are bound to be a few quirks here are there. Feel free to let me know if you find one. Or not. :)

I hope you like it!
