Tired of Blue


Redesign here, in case you’re reading this in an aggregator or viewing the LiveJournal echo.

At least for a while, I’ve decided to leave the blue behind. I’ve tested against Safari 1.2, several Gecko-based browsers, Opera 7.5x, and even IE5/Mac. If someone could let me know whether or not it works in the beast (it should) I’d appreciate it.

As usual, you’ll enjoy it more if you’ve installed an interesting font or two.

Known bugs

  1. The calendar is missing.
  2. Comment pages are almost certainly a little out of whack.
  3. The sidebars render before the main content, which is accessability-unfriendly. I will try to fix this.
  4. Somewhere along the line, the print stylesheet broke. You can invoke a printer friendly page manually (Blosxom-style) by invoking a flavor, like so. (just replace “.html” with “.print” at the end of the URL, anywhere in my post hierarchy. God, I love Blosxom.)

edit: I moderatedly decreased the ugly in the “light” variant.

I'm liking the new colour scheme. Nice work. The site probably still doesn't look like it should while using Opera, but that's my problem... and i get feeds anyway.

Adam -- it actually looks correct in Opera 7.5 on a Mac -- I would hope that the same version on Linux looks OK, too. The gotcha on Linux is always fonts, though. I did spec Vera Sans as a fallback font, so it ought to look OK.
