A reboot for Rob

Okay, so if you would like to rate my new design, that would be neat. Now, welcome to my new design. It has green and magenta and phylacteries (oh yes, I’m using that name now) and should be a nicer format for me to maintain. As Gabriel guessed so well, I will be writing more. It just feels better now.

What is new, what is going on?!

The phylacteries are new and neat. Upon hover, a box pops up that shows the four latest commentators for that post. As we speak, I’m having some issues with linking it properly, but even then it is a quick overview of what happened on what post. I’ve got rid of a lot of stuff, and am rebuilding the pages. They’re broken right now, but will be back later this week. All for the cause of flexibility. There are new humane time stamps, which was cheered upon by several. As a last thing that I like to mention, I’ve followed Andy and now use hCards in my comments. Semantic richness for the people.

“Hey, man, this is broken…”

What is? Please tell me what’s broken via e-mail or in the comments. Also, if you know fixes to the IE issues (there are, um, some…), I would be grateful. Very.

It was Anatoli who coded the JS that powers the recent comment box. He didn’t have the time to make it work everywhere as it should, so if you think you can help out, let me know. So yeah, explore and comment. I like to know what you think.

  1. It looks good.
    I hope it will be a good reason to start writing more again.

  2. You got that right, Gabriel. I have several drafts lying around. And thanks!

  3. That comment popup is fantastic!

  4. The comment popup pops up for too long, it’s annoying when you didn’t intend to raise it -- but I guess that can be easily solved.

  5. Great design by the way.

  6. Much better than before. I love it. :D

  7. Looking excellent!

    Going to explore it more tomorrow, after zzzZzzz....

  8. Very good work. I love the colors.

  9. Me likes. But I suppose I already told you that... plus my JS is here, so saying I don’t like it would go against myself and I’m not that crazy just yet.

    But seriously, once I finish my very late and overdue reboot you’re going to get that improved version of the fade-in/fade-out. I promise.

    On a more serious note, looking forward to those articles. At least now I have a reason to still keep you around in NetNewsWire. ;-)

  10. Zooiblog goes eco-friendly;) Just be sure to post more often Rob:)

  11. I just gotta love how you handled the text resizing.

  12. Dude, it’s looking ace! It feels comfortable, that sounds dumb but I think it’s important! The whitespace and padding is perfect, well done!

  13. Happy reboot, simple green with more white space... I really liked the comment count hover effect.

  14. Stunning... I absolutely love it. Great work!

  15. Very nice, sir. Yay for the writing bug!

  16. Simple color scheme, consistent lines, a slight bit of shadow. Lookin’ Good! I didn’t know what everybody was talking about with the comment count hover so I had to go back up and check it out. Very slick. Amyway, sorry I’m so late with the praise, but I’ve been busy lately. Cheers!

Participate, yes!
