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

Leave it please.
kthnx :P
13 Nov at 8:01 pm
Leave it.
Also, you suck, stop fucking about in photoshop dumbass. ;)

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…
13 Nov at 8:11 pm
Ooh, Reversed Out definitely for me. I think it looks better.
13 Nov at 8:14 pm
Reversed Out!
If you get enough votes for both of them, theme switcher?
13 Nov at 8:14 pm
Theme switchers are too much hassle.. you end up having to maintain two bloody sites effectively *meh*
13 Nov at 8:14 pm
I prefer it as it is now :P
13 Nov at 8:17 pm
I prefer the reversed one. :)
13 Nov at 8:21 pm
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.
13 Nov at 8:23 pm
I’ve not finished tweaking the asides :p
13 Nov at 8:23 pm
Reversed Out!
I agree.
13 Nov at 8:27 pm
I like the current layout better. Keep it as is.
13 Nov at 8:35 pm
I prefer the reversed one. Although the blue side buttons in the reverse layout looks a little off in colour against the blue background.
13 Nov at 8:38 pm
I like it how it is :)
13 Nov at 8:39 pm
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.
13 Nov at 8:40 pm
Reversed out… I think :P
13 Nov at 8:43 pm
You mean like this, Stephanie?
13 Nov at 8:44 pm
Reversed Out (if you’re gonna keep the asides integrated into the main posts area)
13 Nov at 8:50 pm
Reversed out.
The white looks better for the main content than as a sidebar.
13 Nov at 8:58 pm
Leave it as is please.
13 Nov at 9:05 pm
Personally, I like them both. I know not much help. So I would say it is up to you.
13 Nov at 9:19 pm
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.
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?
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 :)
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?
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?
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.
13 Nov at 9:44 pm
Reversed out. I like reading text on a white or dark grey background better.
13 Nov at 10:02 pm
Leave it. The blue content background appeals more to me.
13 Nov at 10:27 pm
I vote reversed out. It makes your main content “pop” more.
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.
13 Nov at 10:50 pm
I think you should reverse it, it looks better… :)
13 Nov at 11:04 pm
reversed kthnx
13 Nov at 11:13 pm
Hey you changed the way the hover works on the navigation and I’m not a fan :(
13 Nov at 11:15 pm
I’ve not touched the nav.. what’s it doing/not doing? o.O
13 Nov at 11:46 pm
I think the reversed out one looks nicer. ;)
13 Nov at 11:55 pm
Leave it.
14 Nov at 12:22 am
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.
14 Nov at 1:08 am
I like them both. I’m the last person to ask for decisions because I’m too indecisive!
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.
14 Nov at 1:11 am
Sorry, for double posting, what I meant to say was :
“The white background….”
There. :)
14 Nov at 1:12 am
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!
14 Nov at 1:24 am
I like Reversed Out, but if I were you, I’d leave it just because it’s less work. ;)
14 Nov at 1:26 am
I like the one you proposed to Stephanie the best. The white border really makes it pop out.
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…
14 Nov at 2:17 am
I think I like the reversed out, better.
you suck, stop fucking about in photoshop dumbass
14 Nov at 2:26 am
You suck, stop fucking about in photoshop dumbass.
Lol, j/k.
I like it both ways. Maybe make skins?
14 Nov at 3:08 am
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.
14 Nov at 3:35 am
Reversed + Verdana = orgasm.
14 Nov at 4:00 am
Hmmm…I love both. This one, however, is more unique than the other.
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.
14 Nov at 4:59 am
Reversed. I rather refer dark text on light background. Tends to be more comfortable for my eyes.
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!
14 Nov at 7:33 am
Actually, I liked it better as is.
14 Nov at 7:40 am
Leave it as it is. I like the current one much better. :)
14 Nov at 8:10 am
maybethislayout2.jpg looks good. I like thick borders.
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)
14 Nov at 9:48 am
Agreed! Leave as is.
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.
14 Nov at 12:07 pm
I like it how it is now. ^_^
14 Nov at 12:15 pm
I like the reversed one, go with that one.
14 Nov at 1:18 pm
As it is; far more original.
14 Nov at 2:19 pm
Either way is fine, but I’d rather see reversed out.
14 Nov at 5:48 pm
Reversed out would be cools. =D
14 Nov at 6:06 pm
Leave it, it looks good as it is. : )
14 Nov at 10:59 pm
I like it as it is. :)
15 Nov at 1:26 pm
Totally leave it as it is. Pretty please. So much better this way. ;)
