Michael Boyle's weblog
I’m running into weird cache problems somewhere down the line. It’s not here – I know how to reload from the server. And it didn’t happen at work today, so I bet it’s at Sympatico, from whom I buy my connection. Figures.
Anyhow – I just noticed that Le bloggeur has linked here. And me only half dressed!
of some of the little quirks with Blogger, so please excuse the mess! I think I’ve managed to sidestep the ampersand issue (don’t ask) and things are looking OK.
I didn’t get around to adding the additional design and navigational elements I’ve been working on either.
JJG linked to an article about an important court case. Unfortunately the guy quoted in the article doesn’t seem to have a clue.
I think this stuff might indicate yet another of the divisions between dotcom people and web people, as Meg wrote about in her great entry the other day.
I think its time for good old #990000 to make a comeback. That was the actual name of my editthispage design: 990000. But this one needs something more so it may come back and join me here. I have some icons ready to go, but that may not quite do it.
That worked out fine. Now what happens if I post a whole long thing?
This new design is called “Rodchenko”, after the Russian Constructivist painter, photographer, and poster-maker. When I get time I’m going to write some more about how this whole process worked – I’m not a designer by trade so it’s like pulling teeth to get something I like. Leave it at this: there’s an unused mock-up on my compter called “Surgical” that’s orange and green. Yuck.
Oh – one other thing. This is just the basics. It looks a little empty now – but there are other things to be added this week. Not so much that it gets too cluttered though.
