After weeks and weeks of editing localhost copies, troubleshooting CSS and other rendering problems, accidently removing a database (which I had a backup of, but anyway), pure coding, browser testing (and not so much frustration over IE-rendering) and a lot of researching and inspiration… I finally present to you a design which I for once am happy with – my new blog design.
Features
What does this new release bring to you?
- A brand new and refurbished front-end design with focus on usability and simplicity – new fonts add to the Web2.0 impression.
- A print- and handheld stylesheet designed for simplicity and readability – clear fonts, less graphics and a more fluid design.
- Nintendo Wii-inspired buttons put in place for usability and simplicity.
- A little more intelligent backend with less load-times and better compression.
- jQuery integration for simple effects and the main content-slider at the front-page.
- Google-powered search.
- Clean code, clean CSS and clean RSS-feeds – one feed for every category adds simplicity and readability.
Conclusion
This has all been a lot of work for me, but I feel this is the first time I have actually had an idea all the way through. One idea being applied all through the process of the design. I’ve read e-books and gathered inspiration from interesting sources. And all this has resulted in something which I am very proud of showing you today.
I hope you like it almost as much as I do!
