Nifty… another redesign!
Despite the fact that I have one of the most dead blogs on the Internet, on Friday night I was hit with a lot of inspiration, and decided to redesign it and this site. I’ve been working on it most of the day since then, and now it’s ready for the world! I’m still working on it, so a few of my pages are currently unavailable or unstyled, but I still think it’s a lot better than what was here before… especially for Internet Explorer sufferers, since I’m using only CSS that it can handle natively. Does this mean I can finally blog for the mainstream?
This new design utilizes a really cute JavaScript I found recently: Nifty Corners Cube. For where it can create a desired effect, this script solves all of the existing problems with making rounded corners on web pages, such as junk markup and tedious, redundant CSS. The only major downside is that it requires JavaScript, but I don’t think that’s a huge issue, because images can fail to load as well, and rounded corners certainly aren’t a requirement. Nifty Corners definitely gets my seal of approval!
Any thoughts and suggestions on the new design would be greatly appreciated!
