New Layout

March 1, 2008
By

Yes, I know, I change my layout more than my underwear, but I have a good feeling about this one! I hope it lasts for a while. I still have a few more tweaks (LOL: tweaks) to make, but it’s mostly done. Check out the random header! There are 6 different headers that load randomly, and I hope to keep adding more. Enjoy! Let me know what you think!

Thanks to Wired Studios for the template!

    I am currently in the process starting a wordpress site after 254 posts on blogspot. Part of this process is seeing what others are doing.
    I still haven’t done anything with my alternative blog, http.piersgavestonjr.blogspot.com/

    That’s gross. Change your underwear. Maybe you can find some with an argyle pattern.

  3. Brian on March 1, 2008 at 8:42 pm

    Awesome. Love the banners.

    hmn…
    Ok, confession: I’m kind of OCD and wierdly sentimental. When I was a kid, my parents got new knives and forks for our kitchen with different color handles than the old ones, and I was so shaken by this that I kept one set of the old silverware and used it for about 2 years everytime we had family dinner.
    Sobearing that in mind…. I’m feeling a little… uncomfortable…………

    I’m just glad that you left good. dorky. fun. That’s my favorite part. Oh, and you drinking that Miller Lite, of course.

    new layout……………….good
    infrequent underwear changes……………..bad…..very bad

  7. David on March 1, 2008 at 9:36 pm

    Not so much a fan of the blue stripes above and below the post, but, I mean, it’s Craig, so pretty much nothing could keep me away.

  8. Zach on March 1, 2008 at 10:03 pm

    mmmmm Craig in argyle underwear… think about baseball… baseball… no use…

  9. Nate Reed on March 1, 2008 at 10:11 pm

    I refreshed 23 times to see them all.

  10. Derek on March 1, 2008 at 11:09 pm

    It’s… plasticy. Don’t get me wrong, I like shiny things like any other gay man. I like the old one better.

    And change your under, and wash them too!

  11. Derek on March 1, 2008 at 11:11 pm

    I forgot to mention. I do love the banner though.

  12. Norman on March 1, 2008 at 11:15 pm

    This one looks a bit too WordPressy, if you know what I mean. But don’t listen to me: I read your blog through my RSS reader anyway. You could have a header with scenes from Abu Ghraib and I’d be none the wiser.

  13. croxis on March 1, 2008 at 11:32 pm

    Very “Web 2.0″ (yes yes I know it isn’t a style). Perhaps Argyll pattern for everything instead? =p

  14. Ray Ray on March 1, 2008 at 11:32 pm

    Looks awesome!

  15. BeRightBack on March 1, 2008 at 11:35 pm

    I liked your last one a little better? It was warmer. The stripes and extreme 3-D modularity contribute to the feeling of decreased intimacy, I think. But, as Tim Gunn says, after a while even a monkey house starts to smell good.

  16. MammaLoves on March 1, 2008 at 11:43 pm

    Fabulous! I even hit refresh a few times to experience the awesomeness of the rotating header.

  17. Brett on March 2, 2008 at 12:19 am

    I love the new layout but why does the banner look slightly creepy in a scary clown way?

  18. rock on March 2, 2008 at 12:36 am

    OH MY GOD craig. you’re so crazy

  19. David on March 2, 2008 at 1:55 am

    The mere fact that I’m now in the blogroll is enough for me. I’m easily pacified.

    But seriously, I love change and think this looks very sleek and sexy. That may damage your dorky rep, but we all sacrifice for our art, right?

  20. ChrisNJ1977 on March 2, 2008 at 2:32 am

    The last theme was rather minimalist compared to this new theme. The new look certainly has a bit of pizazz to it. I think I can get used to it. I like the interesting use of the panoramic aspect ratio in some of your new headers. Well done. Don’t forget to update the copyright year to 2008 on your footer.

  21. Grogipher on March 2, 2008 at 5:04 am

    Oh oh oh oh it’s jazzy! x

  22. Jake on March 2, 2008 at 7:20 am

    I’m torn! I loved the old one but I love the banners on this one. I’ll admit I also refreshed until I saw them all. Nothing could keep me away from here though.

  23. Thomas B. on March 2, 2008 at 9:07 am

    I loved the old one, it was really simple and original at the same time. This one is a little too 3D-glossy for me, but that’s just my opinion… And I LOVE the random banners, I did refresh more than 20 times to see them all. I like the new comments layout too. I guess I’ll just have to adjust to these blue stripes :)

    “Making argyle cool since never.”

    Damn, honey, don’t make me snort coffee on the notebook, please. :-)

  25. Avitable on March 2, 2008 at 10:51 am

    I like it, but I’d suggest adding a “Subscribe to Comments” feature and Gravatars.

  26. art on March 2, 2008 at 1:37 pm

    Change is always good, it looks really nice. Also, I wanted to tell you you are on the Top Recommended List of Google Reader. nice!

  27. Craig on March 2, 2008 at 2:22 pm

    LOL @ BeRightBack

    Avitable: Ask and you shall receive!

  28. Craig on March 2, 2008 at 2:31 pm

    How come my Avatar doesn’t show up? :-(

  29. Craig on March 2, 2008 at 2:34 pm

    Yay, there we go!

  30. Evolving on March 2, 2008 at 5:13 pm

    OOOOOHHHH! I love this new layout! Tres chic! Muy jealous!

  31. Donna in Mid MIchigan on March 2, 2008 at 6:51 pm

    WOW. It seems VERY bright. Very bright. And kind of scary. BRIGHT. Like it’s writer. There..now I feel better!!

  32. Thom on March 2, 2008 at 8:42 pm

    fierce.

  33. Dave S. on March 2, 2008 at 8:56 pm

    Nice. Fun while wearing a button-down and a pair of dockers. I’m not on the blogroll anymore, but that’s okay — Columbus local music probably isn’t what your readers are all that concerned about. :-)

    Overall, I think I like it.

  34. Dave S. on March 2, 2008 at 9:01 pm

    Hey! I *am* on the blogroll! Woohoo! Must’ve missed it in my original perusal.

    Of course, your readers probably *still* aren’t interested in Columbus local music…

  35. GoKitty on March 2, 2008 at 9:56 pm

    Argyle has been in like… every other year. When its not in, just say you’re bringing it back.

  36. Megan on March 2, 2008 at 11:13 pm

    I likey! I keep refreshing to see what header I am going to get next.

  37. Kimberley Taylor on March 2, 2008 at 11:41 pm

    I like Scrabble Header!

    I like tiles.

    :OP

  38. Maggie on March 2, 2008 at 11:44 pm

    I like the new look!

  39. Ξ_Heather on March 3, 2008 at 5:15 am

    Yesterday I was all, “It’s different!” and I like things to stay the same. But when I came back this morning I was all, “It’s just like yesterday!” so I’m good now.

    Craig, just how many argyle sweaters do you own anyway?

  40. Colleen on March 3, 2008 at 8:06 am

    Yes! Yes! This is the best one yet.

  41. Nicky on March 3, 2008 at 10:16 am

    I like the idea of a random header.
    But I don’t like the dashed line thingwas above and below each post. The blue is too light and a little unmatchful.

  42. Mike on March 3, 2008 at 1:30 pm

    Yeah! Looks better. I’m glad you moved to wordpress (you weren’t using WP before, were you?!)…i find it addicting to click around and find new WP themes. Be careful.
