It’s Over Already?!

I can’t believe how fast I just changed the whole site over.  I can’t think of any section or pages I’ve missed.  Oh yes I can… the referrers.  I’ll fix that in a bit.  But other than that, I’ve switched everything over.  I LOVE CSS and pMachine.  They make things sooooo easy to change sitewide.

If you happen to come across bugs or glitches in the way things look, please let me know by leaving a comment here.  Also, let me know what you think of the changes.  Personally, this is my favorite design so far.

Special thanks goes out to Garret at dangerousmeta! for helping me work out some kinks in the way the site looks in Windoze.

nice fade.

umm, no offense, but how often do you read nslog.com? just an observation.

I subscribe to your feed. I’ll read your stuff whenever it shows up in the feed. Why?

When I first started using the fade and pop-ups, I gave credit to you.

Looks good Chris! I am especially happy to see the yellow boxes (on mouseover) replaced with gray ones.

Your long links seem not to be able to wrap, and they shoot out way past the edge of their boxes. This is on a 2-day-old build of Mozilla 1.5a, on a Gentoo PPC machine. Also you have three super-wide, unlabeled checkboxes underneath “Show Email” on the Comments page. I don’t know which to check. I have a screenshot of the former; can make one of the latter and get them to you somehow if you’re interested.

I am definitely interested. I’ve also looked at my site with Mozilla 1.5a, and it looked perfect.

Send me the screenshots as attachments. Or you if you have Web server space, just give me a URL to check them out at.

Thanks for letting me know.

I believe I’ve fixed the weird checkboxes and form layout. pMachine has a newer feature that remembers who you are, so after you’ve commented, you only get the textarea and not the rest of the form.

I also think I fixed the super long URLs. Let me know if it looks OK to you.

Everything looks OK; I now see linked text that wraps. Unfortunately, since you shortened the particular link I sent you a screenshot of—the only specific thing I have for comparison—it’s sort of hard to say definitively that you fixed the core problem, but I didn’t see any text going past where it should after looking at several pages, so should be OK.
