Thanks Foo!

I had no idea what you were talking about when I saw your comment on email, then I came and saw that screenshot. Yes, I thought it was pretty funny to see all those old, tanned, beer-bellies in speedos!

Can’t disagree about the hours in a day!

Thanks Vivien :) Yeah, the line matches the lines that were on the comment meta, so it works.

Yeah, Firebug does most of the things that I used to use Web Developer for (pre Firebug days), but I still like Web Developer’s outline system. You can outline elements on hover, or all floated elements, or all block level, etc. It’s handy to figure out what’s happening with weird floats, margins etc. That might be easy with Firebug, I’ve only just started using it so I don’t know.

I see you’ve added a line separator between the comments – looks much better, gives that clean grid look, and the sitemap is fixed – well done.

Actually, my husband’s PC runs Windows, I just need to install Firebug there. Somehow I’m not crazy about Web Developer toolbar. I’ve installed it in my FF, but very rarely use it. I can get everything I need from Firebug.

Thanks for the tips Vivien. I’ll have a play with that stuff. :)

Yeah, I definitely recommend finding a Windows computer with Firefox, Firebug and Web Developer toolbar.

Wow, what a different with your previous design. The header looks very futuristic, Dali-like ;-) I’m browsing it on Mac, so don’t see any issues so far, except the Sitemap page. I guess you’ll still be working on it. The longer titles overlap the next column, so make sure to address that by adjusting the widths of each columns.
I would like to see some kind of a separator between the comments, otherwise sometimes I don’t notice where one comment ends and another one starts, and perhaps a slightly different font treatment for the comment’s text would make it to be better distinguishable from the actual post.
Other than that, I really like your blog’s new look. And your photography is amazing. Good luck with fixing the leftover bugs. (Oh, I already dread all those IE fixes for my blog’s new design )

That’s a huge compliment, kristarella ^_^ And I had no idea IE NetRenderer had a FF plugin! Thanks.

If you’re on an Intel Mac, this app might be of use – it allows you to install IE versions 5 to 7. Alas, I’m stuck on a PowerPC, so I can’t comment on the app’s reliability.

And heh, don’t mind my advice, the grid layout here is fantastic as is. I too have gone stir-crazy tweaking my site in MAMP ;)

Oh, Yvonne. I meant to thank you for your comment about the footer background. It also came to my mind that it didn’t match with the header. Originally I had a different header that was a window, so the top was like a wall and the bottom was like patterned carpet (reminded me of that anyway). I couldn’t come up with a better footer idea though, so I went with this. I just had to get this thing off my computer and onto my blog – I was spending way too much time tweaking every little thing. I figured it was at a point where I could do that on line now.

I’ll see if I can come up with something more linked :)
