After 8 or 9 years of funny browny orange backgrounds we've finally changed to a black and off-white layout. I've made the text smaller and increased the line spacing a bit.

The black 'polaroid' photo effect has been toned down a bit too, as have the page headings and lots of other minor details.

There are still a few pages that aren't white or that have brown lists and some pages on the site that are a little broken - its late, and its my birthday tomorrow - they can wait another day Smile

I hope you all like the new changes - comments / suggestions / criticism welcome...

I'm sorry, eggy, but I don't like the way the pictures overlap each other now. Sometimes the text underneath is unreadable. I liked the way you had it before better. This jumbled picture idea is not a good one. The way you had it before was real nice. Why would you want to mess around with a good thing? Change for changes sake is un-good. Put it back the way it was please.

Just my opinion.

christopher,

the 'overlapping' isn't intentional - I've seen it before tho. What browser are you using and can you send me the URL of a page it is occuring on please?

cheers

Well, I just saw the changes, just looking for any new Journal by Mary. What I only saw changed, was the white and not orangy page. I have to admit, I liked it more before, or it is just, that I am not used yet --- or , that I was extra accustomed before ( I am 2 years here this 1st of July)... Finallly, the colour white produces nice contrasts with the other colours ; we have to try to get used to it, no?? Let's give changes a chance! But this .."overlapping" thing, I really do not understand what it really is...

I am using FireFox for a browser. I like it so much more than IE. I was having a look at my thread from last year. I don't know why it was acting up. Perhaps it was just a glitch. I'm relieved to know you are not the one to over lap the images.

Howdy eggy Smile

I kinda like the older look of the site also, I think mainly being that now it seems a wee bit too bright for me ... Cool

although the pix stand out more and the text is definitely clearer...

Christopher maybe referring to this happening in the forum section of the site? What I see is the photographs overlapping, I use Firefox too Wink

It does change slightly depending on whether or not you are logged in...

...and this happens on a few of the pages of the site section. In-case you don't see it, the row of text at the top of the pix is overlapping it.

howdy all... I've stumbled in after a post birthday celebration Wink

I know what's causing the image overlapping - I forgot to resize all the thumbnails after you asked me to make them smaller... Whoops. I moved them closer together and only squashed about 1/2 of them down - so the old posts will overlap a little. Will fix this weekend sometime.

Pumpkin - thanks for the links... Will work on fixing the firefox image and text overhand problem too. is the same for me in firefox 1.07, 1.0.5.12 and 2.0.

happy gardening...
