now with less fugly
Behold! Catherine's lovely new design for the site, which I stayed up waaaay too late last night implementing. There are a lot of pieces that still have to be done — archives, a different header, the about page, some fancy del.icio.us crap that Catherine asked for and I'm happy to oblige, plus who knows what else I forgot. But here we are. It's filled with XHTML goodness (although the entries' crappy, non-compliant HTML will usually prevent the page from validating). Plus actually well-written CSS (relatively speaking), some unnecessary Javascript, and Flickr integration. Woo!
Since parts of the design are still in flux I haven't yet applied the individual entry template, which means that as soon as you click on a comment or try to "read more" you'll be back at the old ugly blue site. I've got a few more things to wrap up before that goes away — plus, I probably ought to wait for a low-traffic time to do the rebuild, since we've already incurred the wrath of our host for taking more than our fair share of the CPU.

Did I get bumped from your blogroll!? If you wanted to make me cry, mission accomplished.
Hey, sweet! Nice design.
Shit. Sorry, Jeff. I've added you back. I'm sure there are plenty of other lovely people who ought to be on our blogroll but haven't made the move over -- we started from scratch, and some folks probably fell through the cracks. If that happened to you, please pipe up.
Note, new blog not old for your blogroll friends. Great new design, btw. Then again I have a total weakness for green.
Lookin' good kids, lookin' REAL good!
And thanks so very much for the add.
sorry! blogroll stuff is my fault; i cobbled it together last night. i'm SURE i forgot some people, so just holler if that's the case.
and for example, i just noticed i misspelled justin's domain. gah. will fix as we see errors.
nice blogroll expansion type moving action. Is this still MT?
Looks good! Very nice. This may be the first time a blog I like has redesigned and my reaction hasn't been CHANGEBAD!
Very nice. And I think it loads faster than the old one, too.
Good job!
I had a slight panic this morning when the new design greeted me. Where has my Zunta gone! But then I actually, ya know, read stuff. Looks great guys!
Looks nice, guys!
