… to put it mildly

So I’ve been coding my new blog theme, and it’s gone well thus far. Then I remembered I ought to do an IE/Safari/Opera test as I usually do, and IE can’t handle a few bits, so I have to change them due to IE’s odd laws of HTML standards.
I am usually pretty good at making things work in all browsers, but sometimes I really want to beat IE with a large branch because it simply refuses to do what it should be doing.

I really hope IE8 decides to adhere more to web standards than IE 7 does.
Don’t even get me started on IE6. I’ll have to find a script to get the PNG’s to work for a start. *grumble*.

So…today was extremely wet and very very windy. We also had a large thunderstorm near midday.
(more…)

Finished

Now I need to code it. Coding has begun.

Why so soon? This isn’t very easy on the eyes, and therefore to increase usability for both me and for you (the reader), I wanted something a bit darker. I only found out yesterday how to get that textured gravel affect on the background, which I had tried to do for Open Eyes.. so I used that
The notebook, is actually from something I made for Seth during the week…. except I revamped it a little. The spirals did run along the top, and it was red.
Then of course in true Nicola fashion, I added some cute icons around the place
The sidebar = not cemented as a style yet. The content, that is. It looks a bit weak. The ‘latest works’ part needs to be in the same style as the boxes beneath it.

So, expect to see some changes to this blog in the next few days. Once I get the main stuff sorted I’ll need to put it on here while I sort out the other parts inherent to this blog, rather than my temporary test blog.

Comments and criticism are appreciated, as always.
