yes, I re-designed
Ok, so here’s my official: “hey look everybody, I re-designed this baby!” post (as if you needed prompting, my lovely, lovely fans).
Like always, I’m asking you out there to beta this for me - it should be perfect on Macs running Safari or Firefox, but if you are on a Windows machine running Internet Explorer, I would especially like to hear from you because I no longer have a PC around to check these things on. If anything looks weird (not like the screenshot up there) please comment!
By the way, there is no particular inspiration for this look other than that I wanted something that was fun and summery.
The many body font should be American Typewriter. According to some website I looked at it’s on ninety-five of computers running Windows or Mac operating systems. If you don’t have American Typewriter, the typeface you’re looking at should be Courier New, which, while obviously not my ideal choice (that would be American Typewriter, duh) I feel is a nice face that is seriously underrated for uses outside of coding. At very least it gives me an approximation of the old timey typewritery feel I’m going for.
In crazy and completely unrelated news, last night I had a dream that we found a drowning Staffordshire Bull Terrier while driving along a country road. It had a collar, but it only had it’s name on it. It’s name was Rock & Roll. Is that not the most awesome name for a little bull dog, ever? Now I want a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Rock & Roll.
Tomorrow I leave for England!

the site doesn’t look like it does on your screen shot on IE on a PC. the text is difficult to read, because the white that i assume is supposed to be the background of the text table is not there and the text gets all jumbly in the background. and i see courier new.

The lime green text on the white background is super-hard to read! I feel like a little grandma.

Owww. Hurty.
It looks really cool. Kind of early nineties candy raver-ish.
I love it, really it just hurts to look.

The blue and brown I like, but I gotta add that the green is really hurtin’ my eyes. And I was wondering if it was just me, too…I simply cannot read any of the text in green.
Perhaps choose another colour?
Enjoy your trip!

Hey guys, is this green better? The old green must look totally different on other peoples computers, cause on mine it’s light, but not too bright.
