The New Look
(Category:
Weblog Stuff
)
I've mentioned a couple times about the new site look that The Bartender has done for The Snooze. Due to my time problems and then my tables messing things up y'all haven't been able to see it. Well, go take a look at it now. This is the preliminary design, looking for feedback. That page is a duplicate index so it has the very same article content as this one. Sidebar content is different since this one's been updated a few times in the past weeks and that one hasn't.
Let us know what you like, don't like, etc.

I REALLY like the new look to your blog! Just one thing. The text is way too big. And as we all know, size matters... (Heh!) Actually, I would hate the idea that my co-workers could read over my shoulder from across the room when I check in with you while I'm supposed to be working!
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas from me and mine...
I'll e-mail you.
I like the look of it too. The text is large, even on my Mac, but I can adjust it. You could add a simple style switcher for different text sizes, but whatever.
On small flaw I did notice on Camino for OSX is that the word Snooze is pulled slightly out of the box on the top of the right column. Some negative margin maybe? Not a big deal, but I did notice it.
I like it too, but as noted the text in the body of the post is too big. I feel like I'm reading a site for the visually impaired. Besides, I'm lazy and I don't want to scroll that much. :-)
Ditto the text thing. Although it's the same size as the text at MY place, so I don't have any right to bitch, I guess.
Looks great! It even works properly in Mozilla on Linux!
I'll go against the trend and say I prefer the old format. I prefer white background and light text, so when I surf at work it looks like it could kind of be legit (cows excluded), rather than the obvious blog-surfing.
