Reversed Out?
I can’t decide now whether to keep my layout as it is, or have it reversed out. Welcome all feedback, unless it’s “you suck, stop fucking about in photoshop dumbass”. :P

After a lot of flickering between the two I go with Reversed Out. Mainly, because your most important part of the site (the blog) is in white and the white is the first thing my eye catches. I see no pink though…

Ooh, Reversed Out definitely for me. I think it looks better.

Reversed Out!
If you get enough votes for both of them, theme switcher?
Jem said:
On 13 Nov at 8:14 pm
Theme switchers are too much hassle.. you end up having to maintain two bloody sites effectively *meh*

I prefer it as it is now :P

I prefer the reversed one. :)

Either one you pick, I think asides should have a box about them, that way you can tell the difference between the two. Because right now, they just look out of place.
Jem said:
On 13 Nov at 8:23 pm
I’ve not finished tweaking the asides :p
Vasili said:

Reversed Out!
I agree.

I like the current layout better. Keep it as is.

I prefer the reversed one. Although the blue side buttons in the reverse layout looks a little off in colour against the blue background.
Katy said:

I like it how it is :)
Stephanie said:

You HAVE Photoshop. How useful do you find it, as someone with not a whole lot of graphic design skill, like me?
I say leave it. I especially like how the main content box is now boxed by white; if you have to switch, keep this kind of border. Do you understand what I mean…?
And what Stephanie said. Asides are too weird.
Kaylee said:

Reversed out… I think :P
Jem said:
On 13 Nov at 8:43 pm
You mean like this, Stephanie?
Nick said:

Reversed Out (if you’re gonna keep the asides integrated into the main posts area)
Annie said:

Reversed out.
The white looks better for the main content than as a sidebar.
Nyx said:

Leave it as is please.

Personally, I like them both. I know not much help. So I would say it is up to you.

Why not make a completely new layout if you’re contemplating a new design? It gives you a chance to start fresh and I’ve found through experience that you’re more inclined to dislike a layout if you build upon an old one.
Ann said:
On 13 Nov at 9:24 pm
Leave it. The blue emphasises the grey too much making it look drab (love that word) and then the grey and blue together contrasts too much with the white.
Why not just design something completely new?
Jem said:
On 13 Nov at 9:27 pm
I am too lazy to do something new.
That said, after changing the font, I quite like this white on blue thing rather than the reversed out version :)
Stephanie said:
On 13 Nov at 9:30 pm
I like the asides, now. They don’t look silly, anymore. And I’m a fan of the font, too! Tahoma?
Regine said:
On 13 Nov at 9:34 pm
I like this one a lot better. I didn’t like the reversed out one cause everyone’s doing grey/back on white. This layout is kind of special, and I love it for it. :)
Like I said before, this is the best you’ve done, why changing it so soon?
Caasi said:
On 13 Nov at 9:40 pm
I liked it better yesterday when the asides were different. Having them right on the edge of the blue just looks wrong. In a “I don’t have a real reason” way.
Clem said:

Reversed out. I like reading text on a white or dark grey background better.
Sam said:
On 13 Nov at 10:02 pm
Leave it. The blue content background appeals more to me.
Romy said:
On 13 Nov at 10:27 pm
I vote reversed out. It makes your main content “pop” more.
Aimée said:
On 13 Nov at 10:29 pm
I like the reversed out, although the hover-over for the nav looks more brown than gray… or maybe I’m just seeing things.
Chris said:
On 13 Nov at 10:50 pm
I think you should reverse it, it looks better… :)
Bobbi-lee said:

reversed kthnx
Stephanie said:
On 13 Nov at 11:13 pm
Hey you changed the way the hover works on the navigation and I’m not a fan :(
Jem said:
On 13 Nov at 11:15 pm
I’ve not touched the nav.. what’s it doing/not doing? o.O
Zatanna said:

I think the reversed out one looks nicer. ;)
Amanda said:

Leave it.
Robert said:

They’re pretty similar, but I must say that Reversed Out works a little better. As Tracy said, the white draws our eyes to the content.
Nat Marie said:

I like them both. I’m the last person to ask for decisions because I’m too indecisive!
Kiera said:
On 14 Nov at 1:10 am
The background behind your blog makes it pop more. If that’s what you are going for, the I think the reversed version better accomplishes having the blog immediately grab your attention.
Kiera said:
On 14 Nov at 1:11 am
Sorry, for double posting, what I meant to say was :
“The white background….”
There. :)
Rachel said:

Honestly, Reversed Out seems a bit easier on mine eyeballs. Just my humble opinion. :)
By the way, I know you’ve been back for a while, but it’s my first time posting since, but welcome back and I’m glad to hear you’re doing better!
Meg said:

I like Reversed Out, but if I were you, I’d leave it just because it’s less work. ;)
Asia said:
On 14 Nov at 1:26 am
I like the one you proposed to Stephanie the best. The white border really makes it pop out.
Stephanie said:
On 14 Nov at 1:52 am
Once upon a time when you hovered over, the rounded end, like, shortened. I don’t know how to describe it correctly, but basically, whatever link you were hovering over, the width of it was shorter than all the others. Now, if you hover, it just goes from rounded to square, and remains the same width…

I think I like the reversed out, better.
you suck, stop fucking about in photoshop dumbass
Arwen said:

You suck, stop fucking about in photoshop dumbass.
Lol, j/k.
I like it both ways. Maybe make skins?
Sean said:

Stephanie, that happened to me for about a millisecond, your computer just isn’t loading the new images fast enough I suppose!
Uhhh… Uhhh… REVERSE? KEEP IT THE SAME? I like them both; the current is unique, the reverse brings my attention to the blog. I’ll go with reversed.
Now stop fucking about in Photoshop dumbass.
Brent said:

Reversed + Verdana = orgasm.
Christina said:
On 14 Nov at 4:00 am
Hmmm…I love both. This one, however, is more unique than the other.
Meli said:
On 14 Nov at 4:34 am
Leave it as is! The contrast looks so much better the way you have it… and white backgrounds all of the time are starting to get overcooked.
Vera said:
On 14 Nov at 4:59 am
Reversed. I rather refer dark text on light background. Tends to be more comfortable for my eyes.
Mimi said:
On 14 Nov at 6:56 am
Why are the asides on the bloggy now? :( I suppose that’s not a crime..! I like the design the way it is, so I guess my vote is for not reversing it. In the end though, it’s your site. You should probably do what makes YOU happiest!
Anita said:
On 14 Nov at 7:33 am
Actually, I liked it better as is.
Jessica said:
On 14 Nov at 7:40 am
Leave it as it is. I like the current one much better. :)
Tracy said:

maybethislayout2.jpg looks good. I like thick borders.
Mumblies said:
On 14 Nov at 8:10 am
The reversed version is too bright and it hurts my eyes. I would prefer you left it as it is :o)
Kim said:
On 14 Nov at 9:48 am
Agreed! Leave as is.
Julia said:
On 14 Nov at 10:34 am
I like it as it is now. I don’t really like how the section where your blogs will go is white as it looks white plain. Maybe you could give your current sidebar a background colour.
Larissa said:

I like it how it is now. ^_^
Kris said:

I like the reversed one, go with that one.
Lizzie said:
On 14 Nov at 1:18 pm
As it is; far more original.
Vanesa said:
On 14 Nov at 2:19 pm
Either way is fine, but I’d rather see reversed out.
Kristina said:

Reversed out would be cools. =D
