Just to give you guys a heads up, I’m giving Blag Hag a bit of a makeover. It was getting a bit too hodge podge and cramped for me, and I wanted room for larger photos and videos. Hopefully this will look a lot more slick and organized.
If anything looks glitchy, it’s because I’m tweaking it throughout the day, so please be patient. And if you have any suggestions, feel free to post them here. If you think it’s fugly but have no advice on how to improve it, feel free to keep that to yourself ;P
EDIT: Whoops, Disqus commenting has been reinstalled. Sorry ’bout that. Seems to be working now, though I lost a couple of comments that you posted in this thread (I saw them at least!). It’s not working on the About page anymore for some reason, but I’ll see what I can do.
It must be blog redesign season. I'm in the process of changing mine, lol!
Looks like all the info is still here, I approve!
But wait…no Disqus?
O Disqus, where art thou?
Small little critique would be the header banner; specifically the border and cornering (or lack thereof). Convert the image to a GIF or PNG file to allow transparency, soften/round the corners in Photoshop or some such, and leave the empty space clear so it will just melt into your blog’s bluish-grey background.
Or, if you need, just ask Veritas about the job I did for his own blog redesign, if you may be interested in my “services”. ;-)
Can I be the first comment on the new blog? Please pretty please!
It actually looks very nice. One of the nicer looking skeptic blogs around. Good work.
Only the first since I reported that Disqus wasn’t here any more, FOO! =P
Yeah, I made over my immensely popular blog a few days ago, and then Jen follows suit. I see how it is.
Copying me D: I am not impressed :P (Just changed the theme for my blog about 24 hours ago
It looks a lot more balanced and organized to me. I like it!
Boot licking sycophants!
Not that it didn’t look fab before, but I really like it now too!
It’s nice an blaggy, but I’m not sure how haggy it is.That was a totally useless comment, wasn’t it?
This looks much better than before. The main column was always too narrow.
Looks great! Since you asked for suggestions:1. A slightly wider center column would make posts easier to read.2. Less padding between text and the borders in all the columns. 3. Make the Recommended Reading section a bit shorter and put it at the top and Labels below it.
No, no, I hate change!You kids today. Constant movement and noise. And as for that noise you call music … !
I’m currently fiddling with the html because #2 also annoys me, and that would solve #1. Wish me luck :P
Good luck. May you slay many html demons.
Success! I feel like a freaking genius (yes, I am that pathetic with technology)
Was it Euler who wasi that even the most modest proof yields a great satisfaction when it is completed successfully? Or am I completely mixing up my mathematicians?Regardless, the same principal applies to Math’s kid brother, computers.
I like it… Is this wordpress or just a blogger template that I’ve never seen?
It’s a blogger template made with the new Template Designer
Looks fantastic. One tiny comment, everything else here has nice rounded corners, what would it look like if the top header and your photo did too???
I like the columns, but the color is kinda blandy. What do I know, my blog burns the retinas out of my readers.
It’s odd I’m signed into Disqus but my username is a bit off. Meh? What’re ya gonna do.
Just glad to see I’m not the only one who has a few glitches along the way, lol!
Looks nice, but your top banner doesn’t match the background in Firefox. Since it looks right in Internet Explorer, I assume it’s the annoying PNG gamma correction quirks. This can be fixed either by saving the file as a JPEG or by using something like these utilities to strip out the offending gamma/colour correction information.
Thumbs up. Very nice. I wasn’t too fond of the old look; but I like this one.
Looks good!
Like! Nice and clean and neat, and a lot less blogspot :p
….D: AAAUUGH! It’s like…it’s like my whole world has turned slightly to the right and shifted its contents over into the empty space on the left side of the screen! …I rather like it. =) Was it easy to do?
You credit-thieving poopyhead. See if I ever overhaul your stuff ever again.*pouts*
I made the decision to have it done. The architect of the Empire State Building is credited for its construction, not the people who put the bricks together.
Clean,modern design, understated well-contrasted colour scheme… definitely good for a non-disabled user with a modern browser. I’m almost tempted to assess it for other stuff, but that’s non-trivial… if you actively *want* an accessibility assessment, ask and I’ll do it… otherwise not really worth the time ;)
Looks great – can I suggest .. the article titles could ‘pop’ a bit more – same size & font, but darker, and maybe not blue… try the brown or the blue from the ‘jen’ drawing for instance.
Nice!
thx man! Thanks for sharing
