Well, I finally got off my ass and designed a new layout for my blog. I started with an existing WordPress template, but in the end I just made it from scratch. It should validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict, which I’m always happy to see
I wanted to do some simple MooTools stuff for the site, since that is a passion of mine, ended up with:
- A simple “Fluid layout”/”Fixed width” toggler (top right <> button).
- A simple text size toggler (top right Aa button).
- A very simple onload animation for the dot in the logo.
The first two were inspired by the “Fusion” wordpress theme, which I thought was a nice touch. Mine are not animated, cause I couldn’t be bothered. They do work though, and even saves the state in a cookie (should you return to my humble blog at a later time). The little animation thing was just something I did while I was bored.
I decided to say “to heck with IE6″ for this site. It’s ment for developers anyway, and any self-respecting developer would not use IE6. Might put up a “Oh my god, you’re using IE6″ thing at some point, but for now I’ll just let them think the site is ugly
There is no content here yet, but I hope to actually put up something once in a while now, as opposed to my previous blogging attempts.
Thanks for reading!
