New Look7 Comments

I’ve launched the basis for a new look. It doesn’t have too many bells and whistles yet, but I like it. I hope you do too.

New things:

- The text should be somewhat larger in most cases and, hopefully, appearing in attractive fonts, depending on your platform (click here for some examples of the page rendered on different platforms). I wanted the comment link to be large as well as the sitemap, so that people are encouraged to comment and explore the site.

- I’ve included my Twitter updates beneath the sitemap.

- The headline-only links for each post are gone. I’m relieved to see some content when I visit the page again, and I imagine most of you are too.

- There’s some oddity with the layout such that when you comment, the page will be scrolled without (seemingly) a way to scroll back up to see the post again or to navigate elsewhere. I’ve added a “back to the top” link below the comment box that will fix this issue temporarily until I figure out how to change the layout and retain the look I want. Update: The problem I was having is detailed here; I gave in and opted for faux columns instead.

Thanks for visiting.

    i like it a lot. the simplicity is refreshing and calm. the layout of the whole thing is appealing, but then specifically the placement of post title, date, time and categories.
    nice job, k.

    I do like it, too.

    Thanks for making it so I could comment. Good job. You are the computer guru.

    I like the “status quote” that you have on here, too.

    But, I miss the picture you always had up for your blog.

    Great job.

    I like it! A lot!!!

    I wish I had enough time to mess with my site. It desperately needs new life breathed into it.
