I have finally got my finger out and done my own design and theme for my site. Instead of just reusing someone else’s theme and having a site that looks like every other blog on the net I have created this unique little design. It is not 100% finished yet as I need to do some tinkering to add in some of the extra functionality and it has also not yet been tested with Internet Explorer. It looks best in Chrome and Safari but Firefox and Opera are not far behind. However the site needs JavaScript enabled in Opera because it doesn’t support certain CSS3 styles. As I already block IE6 users from the site I haven’t bothered making it compatible with that trash browser. IE7 and IE8 should work more or less the same as Opera and thus will need JavaScript enabled.
Here is a shout out to Mr Anthony McLaughlin for the help and advice with the design. Especially for the advice on the use of colour and leading me to that very funky font. Us programmers need all the help we can get with design.
Let me know your thoughts and comments below. Also if you spot any bugs or where I have overlooked some styles please let me know.

Sweet design matey – it’s looking great! Meant to re-do mine this weekend but work and Fallout 3 (not necessarily in that order
) got in the way…
Actually one small suggestionette – increase the line-spacing on your articles a tad, will make the longer paragraphs easier to read. Also maybe take the text color just a shade off-white, I find it a bit harsh.
Suggestions taken on board and implemented.
Boo
Just teasing, I love it. Brilliant.
