Some updates

Monday, 22 November 2004

If you are a regular visitor you may have noticed I am constantly trying new things on my blog. These are the results of the last couple of days: Gravatars, an archive page, a new background image, updated divider graphics and even more transparency tricks. In addition to this, I’ve also added the ability to change the font size and font family using a couple of small buttons in the top right of the header. Don’t like the default style, just change it.

BTW: I took the background photograph myself. Who can guess where this was taken?

    Haha, those transparencies are interesting. I have noticed a rendering bug in firefox. It comes and goes, you might be interested in looking at it. http://img.photobucket.com/…
    The most important feuture you added, in my opinion, is the function to change and enlarge the typeface. Great!

    I like the new stuff. I’m going to guess that the picture was taken on an island, probably Hawaii.

    cool. your site is really pretty. really cool with the transperencies.

    i suggest adding alternate stylesheets (although they took the functionality out of firefox 1.0 (and ruined it) they’ll be back)

    btw what do you use do to your graphics? the gimp?
