Since I’m tired of waiting on Simone for a new site design :)
, I thought I’d start playing around with it myself. It’s just high time things got refreshed around here. So, I thought I’d run my early attempts by everyone, and ask a few questions.
The big change is converting the site to a stylesheet-driven design rather than a table-based one. I also want the clutter reduced, and to remove unnecessary features.
You can see a bit of what I’m doing on the project page and the archive page. So far the primary changes you’ll see are on the sidebar, I haven’t really re-worked the header much yet (but I will).
So, the questions:
- What do you think of the new design elements?
- Should I keep or drop the calendar at the top of the sidebar?
- I’m thinking of changing the header to some sort of revolving photo background. Thoughts?
- Any features I don’t have that people would like to see?
- General comments/ideas?
Don’t pull any punches, either. I can take it! :)
You have a lot of good listings.
