Abstract Utopia - I am a Desert.

New template test!

I have been working on an entirely new layout and template. After struggling with a theme, I sort of just pulled one out of my ass. It's not muses (at least not Geek ones). The actual banner and graphics right now are sort of in preliminaries just to get something up in the sizes I need.

The style sheet has been mucking up on me a little bit in IE, but I have beaten it into submission and gotten the containers to work properly in both Firefox and IE now. I have no idea what they look like in Opera because I don't use that piece of shit browser anymore.

Anyway, I invite everyone to look at my new template and page. When I actually figure out how to skin my site, you will be able to use any of the templates you prefer. Right now I just wanted to get another one up and available. I haven't linked any archives or anything yet and I am contemplating making the archives completely separate, but i'm not certain yet, we'll see.

The sidebar isn't done... I just put up a few boxes for the time being to see what they would look like.

My New Template!

(You may have to reload your page to view the other version properly.)

I'm really uncertain on the colours. But to be completely honest, I'm not very good with colour because I'm partially colour blind. I always struggle with the colours in template like this. I have tonal colour blindness. It means I can't tell colours in the same "tone" apart. You can look it up if you really care. All I can say is thank goodness I'm not completely colourblind like my grandfather was.

Update: I fixed the template so it look right in IE now. In IE I noticed that the graphics were mussed up. I think i've fixed it for both IE and Firefox now. Once again, no idea what it looks like in Opera or NetScrape.

WoW! It looks great :) It makes my attempt at design look naffy. I had to use someone else's code. Even then I'm not sure it looks ok. 'sigh'

I adore it, Utopia! Big thumbs up indeed - much more 'punchy' than the current template.... if that makes any sense for you; I may just be being tragically english. *grin*

Looks great.

The only suggestion I have is that it would be cool if the bottom of the posts looked like it could join with the top of the posts, as if they were torn apart, as opposed to being mirror images of each other.
