Well, I must say, aside from taking a bit of getting used to after aeons and aeons of my former grey-grey-black travesty, and a few relatively minor CSS bugs, I quite like the new look.

I originally intended to entirely revamp the site with entirely new programs, support, et al, but then I figured it’d be easier, and make more sense to just extend upon what I have.

It’s been fun, with only a few minor issues – Gallery uses transparent images to set booleans and writes borders around them for it’s own design. Kind of neat, yet a boon with the layout that I prefer. None the less, it does use it’s own CSS for the borders around pictures, so this is not a problem.

The tiny picture at the bottom of every page (within my CVS Id tag) was having a border drawn about it since I’ve defaulted to having a border around every image. Truthfully, I don’t know if I want one, if I do, do I want it solid? The dotted border on that tiny image just looks pants. I’ve opted to add a class to just disable the border for that image, for the time being. I might remove those alltogether in the near future; I don’t really need to display my tags, but it certainly did make development easier whilst I managed multiple sites based upon this same code. Plus, it’s geeky.

The doodleboard needs a few more things fixed, and I don’t like how the ‘title’ boxes look recessed with the darker color – at least it’s legable now.

I’ve fixed up a few minor things with the flow of the index’s search this eveining, and with that, I’m tagging this release 3.0.

For what it’s worth, 1.x was primarily manually-generated HTML, 2.x was partially QuickBlog with my modifications and a rather customized NewsPHP. This current revision, 3.0, has my rather retooled and extended QuickBlog based system wrapped around a few other customized programs in the public domain (GPL, BSD, what have you), Gallery, for my image gallery, my english port of PaintBBS, and other behind-the-scenes tools.)
