Skirt in knickers (SIK) syndrome

28 November 2005

That feeling you get when you've neglected your blog for a couple of days because your head is too full of stuff to write about to choose just one thing at a time, so you don't write anything, and suddenly you find yourself appearing on three different CSS/Design galleries on the one day*.

So named because it's not unlike the feeling of embarrassment you feel when you exit the toilet with your skirt tucked into the back of your knickers and haven't noticed. Everything's mostly ok, except for one or two minor details - like your arse hanging out for the whole world to see.

Spose this means I should really get round to fixing the about, others and gallery pages then... nothing like working on pages live when traffic is spiking to focus the mind**.

* I'll save my theory about design gallery dominoes for another day and spend today just being glad that someone (or possibly multiple someones)*** liked what I've done here enough to submit it to CSS Liquid, CSS Mania and screenspire.

** obviously usually best done on a day when one hasn't spent the afternoon in hospital being poked by needles in the name of allergy testing and feeling a bit funky (and not in a good way) as a result, but life's like that, isn't it?

*** and if it was you, please say so, so I know who to blame/say thank you to.

Congratulations Pix! I've always like d the way your site almost splits in two when ever you click off the home page.

and on a side note.
Those galleries have some really nice examples of liquid design which makes a great change from the usual fixed width design.

It wasn't me but that's down to procrastination more than anything. Every time I visit I'm more astonished at how beautifully everything fits together - mazel tov!

Wasn't me either but maybe it picked up from the StyleGala forums (which was me... but you know that...)
