New layout! Smarmy men in smarmy suits!
PleasedIt's about damn time. Don't get me wrong, I adore both chocolate and Buddha in all of their respective splendors, but the design was getting a little old.
I decided to go with a Boston Legal theme for version 5.0, more specifically Alan Shore because he's wonderful in that sort of arrogant prick sort of way that always seduces me terribly on television. The colors and layout was originally inspired by a BL avatar I found *points below*. Like all design projects I set out on it didn't turn out anything like I originally planned it to, but overall I'm rather pleased with it. It was fun to get back into a web project of my own for a change~ :B I haven't had one of those staying-up-until-3am creative nights in a really long time. I know offhand of a couple tiny layout bugs that I have yet to work out, ignore them for the time being and they'll go away eventually.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I can't promise the new layout will look mostly good, a little good, or even half decent in Internet Explorer 6. Because I DON'T CARE. The only way to purge the web of the EPIC FAIL that is IE6 is to stop designing for it. If you have IE6, for the love of everything holy, if you won't change web browsers completely then at least update to IE7. *Waves a little Firefox flag*
Looks great - nicely done :)
Ooh, you may want to update the comment submit button from
Thanks~
"update the comment submit button from"... what? From where? From what? How can you give me heads up on a possible bug and then stop in mid-sentence?! D:
...from "Feed Buddha Chocolate!". (Though that is hilariously non-sequitur now.)
(Damn accidentally clicking on submit buttons whilst lazily trying to copy the text...)
Hahaha, ah. Right. Whoopsi~ *Fixey fixey*
I've decided that people don't make use of cliffhangers in blog comments often enough.
That said, dramatic pauses take too long, so I'll just tell you that the sender on the comment notification emails is still the old 4.0 title.
What do you mean? The emails I get alerting me to new comments say v5.0 SmartAss Suits. Do yours not? *Kicks computer* Come to think of it, if they are wrong I don't even know where to go to change them... *Sweatdrop*
Firefox is superior.
I especially enjoy the wallpapery background.
Thanks, I like the wallpaper too~ It adds a bit of much-needed texture, I think.
As for that bug;

So, that bug is really just a case of Gmail, in my case, having a contact entry from your last blog for comments. If I were to delete that contact, it'd switch to 5.0. Now you know!
