Of Skins and Things

Sorry there hasn’t been much posting lately.  When your friends’ dads tell you that you need to update your web site - ahem, Tim - you know you’re doing something wrong.  I’ve been a bit busier of late doing some work around the house and preparing for AG’s birthday, which is this coming Monday.  I’ll be picking things up here again soon.

Also, many of you have told me that the blizzog isn’t rendering very well for you since the upgrade to blizzog 2.0.  Whether your resolution is lower than the 1600 x 1200 that I designed this skin on - isn’t that what everyone uses?  ;) - our you are using a new-fangled browser, I have heard you and will be addressing this soon.  I have been waiting to customize the code in .Text until they come out with the next point release, which is supposed to be sometime this month.

In the interim I may start working on a new skin.  The blizzog could use a good facelift anyway.  Much like Joan Rivers, the site should really be getting some work done every few months.  We’ve essentially had the same look for almost a year and a half now.  It’s time for something new.  Any suggestions on color or layout?  For the blizzog, not Joan.

5 Smart Remarks about “Of Skins and Things”

  • First, me was like...

    I use 1400×1050 and its fine. Leave the rendering alone. I would change the skin. This is tired.

  • And then my internet was all...

    my internet only supports 640×480. I think you should stick to 16 colors, too. Don’t get crazy with the magenta.

  • And then Jamie was all...

    It could be that your internet is broken. You should probably ask someone to re-install the internet on your machine. ;)

    Also, do you have Exchange installed?

  • And then Blizzog Readers was all...

    We’d like to see a "new content" skin.

  • And then MT.Net was all...

    <i>It’s time for something new.</i>

    After a week with no new content, yeah, I’d say it’s time for something new.

    That, and a preview button.
