I have updated the design of my blog - let me know what you think…
It started as a, “I think I’ll change the background color of my blog while I’m in here posting something…” and ended up filling up a good portion of my Sunday afternoon.
Using Dreamweaver 8 I clumsily figured out these whacky CSS rules and made my site look more “Flash-like”. Fireworks also came in handy as I tried to tie in the sexy new red box design that you see in the banner.
I also revived the cool Flash cartoon that the guys and gals at Nectarine made for all of us who spoke at MXDU 2004.
I’m sure it could use some more tweaking but I have spent enough time on this for one day.

Not too sure your CSS is cross-browser compliant as I’m seeing side shadows on the header, but not running down the sides of the page.
I like the banner a lot though - instant brand recognition.

Yes - I’m trying to figure out what happened to the CSS in the archive templates. It works fine on the main page. I think a DIV isn’t closed because I have an ID nested inside an ID.
I guess I’m not done screwing with this for the day…

There - now it’s fixed.

Looks a bit bent out of shape in FF.
