Pew Pew v0.1, void-star.net β
So, instead of working on JournalPress like a good girl, I’ve been delicately tapping away at the layout here at β. And lo! It is done!
I’m probably about, hrm… 64.58% happy with it, I guess. The concept was a “rough” version of what I plan to do with the finished product, hence the painted look of all the elements. That part I think worked out pretty well, but this is still definitely relegated to a proof-of-concept design rather than anything polished and final. Which, for β, is highly appropriate. Hence the layout stays.
Scarily (and unintentionally), despite being designed for Gecko/WebKit (albeit a little small on the iPhone), it also renders the same — :before and :after pseudoclasses excepted — in IE6 and IE7. Wow; I think that’s, like, a first since circa 2003.
In other news, it’s been pointed out to me that JournalPress doesn’t work with the beta of WordPress 2.7. No, it doesn’t; there’s no point wasting time on compatability to an API that isn’t finalised.
… I have a beautiful analogy for this, too, but alas I can’t use it for fear of getting Googled by work. Damnit.
I totally love the layout, actually. Although it’d be better if you actually corrected the guns instead of putting a nova over them
Seriously, if you had a habit of doing what you were supposed to instead of reading porn and I had sixty to a hundred bucks to spare (neither is true), I’d ask you to make me a layout XD
Right. I sort of get the impression you’re missing the point of a beta/”proof-of-concept” a little bit there… >_>
This is quite possible.
Jesus christ, using WP for 5 minutes and you still have it looking better than mine :p damn you.
Heh, well. “Five minutes” is maybe an overstatement; I’ve been using WordPress and-and-off since it was b2. Just never for my main blog.
I shudder to think what the rev.iew.me crowd would think of this layout, though. It’s not… I dunno, round enough or something. Aah, the fickle whims of webdesign fashion. XD
Edit: And wouldn’t you know. The Ajax in the threaded comment reply is broken… somehow. Lovely.
I exaggerated, obviously..
I think you’d be surprised at the feedback you would get … or maybe I have too much faith in them!
I bet you I’d get at least one, “Thank god that horrible blue thing is gone!”
Well, you know how to find out, don’t you!
BTW, you need your cute smilies back. The WP ones are poo.
It’s true. I need to find/write a decent, customisable smilies plugin first, though. >_>
And then you need to pass it on to me, yay!
