Updating the site skin

27th October 2008 - Category: Site News

Hi All,

it was always my intention to have a nicely adaptable theme that I could grow over time.

I am trying to improve the way comments work, they now support Gravatars. I am trying to make the form elements more integrated. If anything looks strange I am probably working on it. I have changed to new Flickr and Deviantart widgets. The DA widget has problems with my Stamps so if you get a dead image symbol it is probably the reason. Flickr now has a random 2×2 selection from my photos.

Valid XHTML

Hi all,
just spent some time tonight validating the Blog to XHTML and fixing to accesibility issues. The front page is now XHTML 1.0 Transitional Valid and AAA rated via the Total Validator Tool.

Safari users I’ve got your back

I have made a few minor tweaks to make the site more palatable to Safari / Mac users. They added a new font rendering style to Safari for Windows called Standard (for CRT). It is kind of like the Mac font rendering acting a wee bit more Windows like. Is this available in for Macs? or Safari on the Mac. Screen shot shows Opera on the left and Safari on the right.

Opera Vs Safari

Widgetised The Sidebar

Being based on an old theme I needed to get with the program and widgetise the sidebar. This gives me much better integration with DA and Flickr.
