Some slight UI tinkering

'Someone beat me in the field of…''Debugging your PHP code'

Sunday Apr 10 2005

I've just tweaked the UI of this site slightly. Some people commented that the photo of the 'guys on an escalator' was sort of boring and unrelated to this site. I guess I agree. I changed the header and used a photo from the stock exchange which suits the topic quite well. A road to nowhere. Excellent. I hope you like it. Besides the header I changed the menu bullets, added my name to the left of the page and last but not least: I've installed a retro-style pixel art favicon for the site. I guess the design has finally settled down!

Update: I eliminated the use of tables in the comment form too.

It looks great!!!! Didn’t you use that picture before? It looks kind of familiar to me (or I might be going slightly mad, which also is a possibility).

It’s a pic from the stock exchange and Barbara you’re not (yet) going slightly mad because I indeed had it in an early version of this design I showed you on MSN a while ago. I brought it back

I wonder if you could make your name running up the left hand side, perhaps semi opaque, don’t know if it would work but it sort of clashes over those linkie icon thingies.

You’re probably running 800×600 then?
Otherwise it should be no problem.
