Redesign in progress

May 30, 2003 Stephanie Leary

I’m sick of this not-quite-default Movable Type style I’ve got going on here. Redesign hereby commencing. Expect weirdness as old styles are ripped out and the new ones are slowly pasted in.

Inspiration: Aberdeen

Background effect: Complex spiral

UPDATE: Initial changes made. Layout overhaul still to come. Problems abound in Camino.

UPDATE #2: Camino/Mozilla problem identified. The background from the links column is somehow overlapping the blog column, creating an invisible layer over the blog text that prevents you from selecting or clicking anything. (Note that you can select and click blog text below the bottom of the links column.) Attempts to fix this (mostly using overflow properties) have failed. Bear with me until I get the new layout going.
