A New Look

Stop!

Don't click on the Back button of your browser. You didn't mistype the address or click on the wrong link. I decided it was time for a bit of a change.

I finally got round to moving opinios over to run on Movable Type, and changed the layout a bit while I was at it. I haven't quite finished, but basically I am a lot happier with the minimalist look. Less clutter is good.

The directory structure is a bit different though, so expect some teething problems. Please let me know of any weird stuff you see or any complaints you have in the comments (read the FAQ first!). I know the comments box and the monthly archives just look plain and unformatted, I'll work on them tomorrow.

Dude you are good at this stuff aren't you?
Man this new format kicks ass!!!
I recently started reading your blog and you seem to have kicked it up a notch with the new format.
Well Done.

Looks unreal Mr Magain! You're gonna have to look into this kind of stuff further when you get 'ome boy! How strange we both updated our websites on the same day! (I'm back online again, so I can keep away from yours!) Cheers bro!

Less is more. The comments link didn't work until I opened in new window.

Glad people seem to like it.

Hammy - that could be a javascript setting in your browser (have you downloaded the latest version of Firefox? It rocks!) Anyway, when I finally get around to style the comments page and the rest of the site it won't open in a new page (ala 35degrees.com), so you shouldn't have this problem then. Thanks for mentioning it though.
