Tweakin’ Styles

by Ryan Parman • April 2, 2004 • Website • 9 comments

I’ve done a smidge of tweaking out my CSS file, and I’ve tweaked the behavior of my stylesheet switcher widget. If you’re getting plain text, you need to manually choose either the “default” or “classic” style. After you kill the cookie, close your browser and re-open it, and you shouldn’t have a problem. Contact me if you do.

Hmm. Not sure how much I’m diggin’ the new background and header graphic (I think that’s a new graphic, but now I can’t remeber). I think it looked a bit cleaner before.

Usual disclaimer applies (i.e. “just my opinion”)

I suppose it wouldn’t be a problem to offer the old stylesheet along with the new (or rather, modified) style. I’ve already got a styleswitcher in place. I’ll consider it.

why so much wasted space up top? IE6 sp1 on xp here….

It’s only 50px. I don’t really like my site being all the way up at the top. I think it looks better this way.

Heh, I wondered what was going on… though I thought you were going for a complete redesign Ryan? Or is that something on the back boiler for now?

Anyway… I see there are new :focus effects for form elements. :D

Nah, it’s still coming, it’s just coming more slowly than I’d expected. I started a new job a few weeks ago, and it’s kept me pretty busy.

I’ve got my localhost server set up with Apache, MySQL, Python, PHP, and Perl. I’ve installed WordPress, and I’m trying to get all of the nuances of the new CMS locally.

It’s still coming, but slowly.

Using a ‘printable’ version really shouldn’t be necessary. @media is the way to go (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/goingtoprint/).

Thanks, that’s more or less what I was going for. I wanted to add a little more color, and have it feel a bit more like Spring, rather then Winter.

I’m glad you like it.
