There was a thread from a lame-o myspace forum that popped up in the rev.iew.me referrals (nearly 300 members now btw). Apparently, we all suck because one or two of us like Diane’s layout (that big one I linked the other day). Apparently, only plain layouts are trendy in our world and it’s all because… read full entry »
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
I have been thinking about redesigning and redeveloping my blog to make it more… bloggy. Kind of like a cross between kottke and Diaua!com. Do you think they’d mind if I took their layouts and mashed them in to one? Edit: I was thinking something a bit like this… it occurs to me that I… read full entry »
Ooh, looky here! A shiny new layout with coolies rounded corners. How web 2.0 am I, eh? :D In all truth, it’s amazing what not having a website can do to you. It makes you productive. Funny that. I coded, I designed, I even washed the dishes that had been sat on the side since… read full entry »

Some of these date… read full entry »
Online magazine A List Apart has just published an article “Zebra Striping: Does it Really Help?“. As I can’t be arsed to re-write my thoughts in a logical and structured manner, I’ll just copy and paste what I put into the q*bee IRC channel: [19:45] <Jem> I’ve just read an article on ALA about ‘zebra… read full entry »
A bit of backstory: Ashley sent out an e-mail t’other morning to all of those who’d been waiting for a review at Timebomb Reviews announcing the re-opening of the site. (A counter-flounce?) I’m not sure what she set out to achieve by copying me in but it gave me the opportunity to offer those from… read full entry »
I was hoping that I could start this Pants Award with my very own review from Ticking Timebomb. It’s one of those tweeny review sites that pop-up from time to time, but ultimately disappear because the standard of reviewing is piss poor and nobody actually reads them [the reviews]. Unfortunately, she refused to review me… read full entry »
I want to successfully use Georgia [font] in a design.
