New Theme
06.08.06
So I’m tryin this new theme on for size. I still gotta add the links to the other pages and such. I can actually switch the color on this to white as well. Some folks might prefer that, but I’m likin this black right now.
This theme only shows two posts on the front page. And with the rate that I’ve been posting lately, it just might work out. If you guys see anything else missing, lemme know. I’m still workin with ideas on this baby.
But this is where you all can have your say about it. Whether or not I’ll agree, I’m listening.
Whoa, I am going to have to get used to this. It’s not as honky as I am used to.
# June 8th, 2006 at 3:47 amat first i had to regain some senses, wondering if google was playing another game with your site chad.
It’s fine, i see everything from before and the layout is a bit more organized. I feel like im looking at a digital file cabinet.
Could you possibly make the option for a white background something we can do through our own computers? like have on the main page a “switch to white button” or how about a switch to camo!
# June 8th, 2006 at 4:37 amGood job Chad! Inventive and brillant!
# June 8th, 2006 at 4:57 amThis is gonna take a while to get used to, definently not as honky!
# June 8th, 2006 at 6:27 amNot as honky but it looks well organized. It doesn’t show off your graphic design ability as well tho.
# June 8th, 2006 at 7:10 amAl - I’ll start to work on the color switcher.
cs - yea, but I think I’m doin this more for my own interest. Besides, I don’t think this site is really a shining beacon of design, when most people start to reading it.
# June 8th, 2006 at 7:19 amthats another thing. I’m gonna add the smilies back to this comment box.
# June 8th, 2006 at 7:19 amI am horrified about one thing, this is a template
. You’re a daddy now so that can slide. You have too much talent to hide it.
# June 8th, 2006 at 7:59 amHaha, nice. It is a template, and it is one that even I don’t have the skill to reproduce. The guy put alot of modified coding into this baby, and I don’t have php coding knowledge. Just design skills here.
But I’m just tryin it out to switch things up here. I was bored, and I recently discovered this theme. I’ve been having fun with it.
# June 8th, 2006 at 10:07 amPersonally, the change has caused me some severe mental trauma and I think I might have a diagnosable DSM IV Adjustment Disorder accompanied by symptoms of PTSD.
# June 8th, 2006 at 3:22 pmI really liked the layout. I’m kinda bored with the whole fixed width, column look. Once you figure out how to navigate the place, you might actually like it.
I recon I could mess around with the coloring, and make it more honky.
# June 8th, 2006 at 9:00 pmJJ - Are you fer serious about that PTS thingum?
# June 9th, 2006 at 8:40 amutohh the fixed-width debate has come to PTA.
# June 9th, 2006 at 2:38 pmAlthough this layout has some merit I’d have to say I prefer the aesthetics and whimsy of the previous incarnation.
Stevil who is an Art Director that knows a thing or two ’bout information design n’ such.
# June 10th, 2006 at 10:52 pmI do agree that this color scheme is against certain rules of good design. and there’s nothing worse than trying to read a site you like, while getting a headache everytime. I’m gonna mess with the color scheme, to give it a more earthy look.
might be a bit though, my time is back to full schedule.
# June 11th, 2006 at 5:39 pmits gettin’ more honky now.
# June 12th, 2006 at 6:21 amso much better ahhhh
# June 12th, 2006 at 11:13 am
yea. The black was a bit too extreme for good ol’ PTA. You guys let me know if anything else needs attention. I’m finding bits and peices as I cruise the site.
# June 12th, 2006 at 1:02 pmMuch better, now how about some Emigre typefaces?
# June 12th, 2006 at 2:24 pmDon’t get too fancy with this Emigre talk, now ya hear.
