zen and the art of css
well not quite. in fact, not especially close. but anyway... you now have a choice of two, count 'em, two different designs for this blog (it's also a lot better in terms of semantic structure, but only i get excited about that sort of stuff). up top there you'll see "style: 1 / 2". first person to make a joke about half-arsed design gets a (virtual) slap. *slap* i know you were thinking it :P
style one is the original pimpazz orange design (pimpazz as in "nothin says 'i'm a pimpazz designah y'allz' like orange and grey", if you recall that post). that design is based on one of blogger's standard templates, just technically far superior and - i think - a nicer final product than the original.
the new style is "halo blue" (named for fairly obvious reasons - there's no deep meaning, it's just design for the hell of it). created from scratch, it uses PNGs and a couple of more advanced CSS tricks, so IE6 get some details wrong... and i don't care enough to fix that before releasing the design :) i might get to that in the next few weeks; during the phase where i tinker with the design in nitpicky ways none of you are likely to notice.
Sadly Opera doesn't remember the design choice you make; a flaw in an otherwise excellent css swap method.
I haven't done the archive page yet either... or a neutral favicon... or.....! But that's life.
