New Design

Huzzah, a design for my blog which isn't stolen straight from Movable Type, though in hindsight it does remind me of Jeff Waugh's design.

It's not totally finished yet, the padding/margins still needs to be sorted out in places, but overall I'm happy with it. Apart from the header, the entire design is layed out in ems so it should scale very nicely. Even the sidebar is "20 ems" wide and the main content expands to fill the space remaining, which took a while to figure out.

Finally, thanks to Jose Luis for taking some wonderful photos, one of which I used as the header.

Definitely like the new design! Non-pixel-based layouts are always welcomed. Your "GNOME Release Team" link on the side is bad, has an extra "http://".

Nice header. Really nice with the black and white and the yellow flower. One problem with not fixing the width of the page is that if you have wide windows it gets really hard to read since the lines gets very long. Of course, you can always shrink the window :)

Nice work.

Btw, I don't think it reminds more of Jeff's site than any other blog :) The entire design of blogs are pretty much the same all over.
