One of the many things I love and adore about typepad is the ease with which a fickle flibbertigibbet like me can change the design using the template builder.
This current design (my fifth in less than two months) took me less than ten mintes to come up with, and 80% of that was me fiddling with the colours.
I know that I could edit the CSS and do all sorts of clever things, but to be honest, I'm trying to find the limits of the clever things I can do without needing to resort to that. There's just something so neat about a few mouseclicks creating a new design and I'm not done playing with this particular toy just yet.
As always, do let me know if it looks hidously wrong in your browser.
looks great in osX browser safari. i'm trying to decide whether to upgrade to the pro account. in the past i've loved tinkering with css on my sites... but i kinda like the notion of just going with the point and click stuff for a while.
did i just say that? i think i did.
Looks nice in Mozilla Firebird, Safari and Camino, and doesn't even look half bad in PocketLink on my Clié. Probably 50-100px too wide though, but that's the trouble of the three collumn designs.
Kinda reminds me that I need to start making that pro account pay for itself
Dunno if it is just me but the RHC is coming up really really wide (like wider than the middle one). Sort of OK but looks funny coz the final page width is bigger than a 17" monitor can hold. I might try clearing the cache and seeing if that will fix it up....
Yeah. A reload fixed it (I was using both Safari and OmniWeb and they both seemed to have something between the previous design and this one). That grey looks quite nice - almost metallic. Cool
Looks fine in Netscape 7.0 on Windows NT 4. The black text in the side columns is a little hard to read on the dark background, but that's probably largely down to my monitor and my eyes.
Seems fine in Camino. And looks very nice also. Santé.
Some of the formatting is a bit off in Santa Fé and when I cranked up my old 386 and tried it in 640x480 Mosaic it just plain sucked-ass.
looks great
A bit too wide for me, but I have got my screen set quite small. Me poor old eyesight plays up with trying to read stuff at 1024 by 768 on my smallish monitor.
Otherwise I like it.
At my work computer using IE6, the black text on dark gray backgound is unreadable. Now that I am at home using IE6, it looks perfectly fine. I'll have to adjust my settings at work to the same as my settings at home.
