Please review my newest blog design
Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2008 10:38 am
So I have been playing around a little bit with hacking my Wordpress theme. This time around I wanted to throw a little JS goodness into the mix.
I also wanted to do something different in the way of a layout since most layouts for blogs tend to go either two column or three column. I prefer no columns.
Anyway, if you feel so inclined, would you please play around with the blog for a bit at http://www.robert-gonzalez.com/ and tell me what you think? I am specifically looking at this from a usability angle, though it would be nice to hear anything else that you might want to add.
Test how you will. Let me know what I forgot to add to it.
PS There is, so far, one known issue: When CSS is off but JS is on my navigation links (Bloggers, Categories, Archive) do not properly href to their content. I am working on that. If anyone knows how to use jQuery to see if CSS is disabled, I would love to hear your solution.
PPS There is another major non-issue that I want to tell you about. The design is written in standard XHTML and standard CSS (a few CSS 2 goodies). That means that the rendering works, for sure, in Safari, Opera and Firefox. I refuse to hack this layout for IE. In fact, I am certain that bits of it do not work in IE and I am fine with that. I am working on a notice to IE users to that effect but will not be able to test this until tomorrow when I get to work.
PPPS This was supposed to post about seven hours ago, but it was 2:30 in the morning, and embarassingly enough, I fell asleep in the middle of it.
I guess I am not the code monkey I used to be.
