Redesign in progress

Q-TARO.COM renewal
Some photos of my beautiful dual 24″ dell displays which I procured last fall at an incredibly low price. It’s nice to have all that screen real estate for doing web work. Here I’m working on the icons for the top banner using the toy images from my previous design. It’s already changed quite a bit since I took these photos. You can see that the previous header looked awful compared to the darker tiled version I have now. I’m almost finished the design template, except now I’m thinking of creating another one with the main content in 2 columns like I had before. First I have to fix that darn IE6 CSS bug though.

I want those to 24″ :) I like it also with the two columns, it’s original. With IE7 most of the CSS typical problems are gone, but there is still so many ppl with IE6 grrr…

Is it possible to add a “preview” function to comments while you’re redesigning? Just curious as I have always liked the chance for a quick review before posting, especially on longer comments which run outside the box we type into.

Yeah, the default wordpress installation didn’t seem to have the preview function built in, I’m still looking for it.

The samurai flic pics you chose to use in your search box are so awesome that I cried.

I had been missing your blog in my feed reader since you flicked the switch. You should make the old feed URLs redirect into the new ones. This is what I was using:
http://blog.q-taro.com/index.rdf
http://blog.q-taro.com/comments.xml

I’ve changed the URL feed on my feed burner but I need to change those ones as well. Thanks for reminding come.

Welcome back. I missed you ;-P Thanks for fixing the feeds… I didn’t know you were back until today. BTW, I like the new look. Takes a little getting used to, but I like it.

I love your site, but can we have an option to keep the old layout? Don’t want to diss your new one too much but to me it has no character. The old site had tons of it.

Is there no more comments feed? I enjoyed reading all the quality comments from my feed reader. :)

Good to see you back, Roy!

Which Dell 24″ LCD monitor model did you buy?

Comment by Roy on 2008-02-24 21:43:09

That would be the 2407WFP-HC HAS. They discontinued them for a few months but I see they are selling them again. At least in Japan.
