Guest design by Blondmonster

fishyI’d been meaning to do a proper redesign of this blog for some time. The content part was reshuffled a couple of months ago, and I was pretty pleased with how that turned out. But the header was a watered down version of the old Papertrail theme and far too boring. That’s why I asked Blondmonster to help me out.

Suzanne’s a former colleague, and a fabulous designer. I really like the stuff she does, and ‘boring’ is simply not in her vocabulary. She came up with the underwater theme, did all the drawing and all I had to do was put it all together. Hope you like the result. The theme was tailor-made for this blog, so don’t expect it to become available for download any time soon.

  1. I don’t know how or why because I have virus software running, but when reading your posts in RSS reader via Outlook they open a new window with an (*) displayed as only content?

    It is strange and only happening with your feed? Anyone else having this pop-up issue?

    do you have some kind of counter or visit checking code?

  2. Hi Juanita. My feeds are handled by feedburner, but other than that there’s nothing special about them. I do not have Outlook, so I can’t try and reproduce the issue, but I’ll look into it.

  4. Mr. Tanck,
    It’s a great design.. but I have an unrelated question if you have time to reply. What plug-in is being used here for the “share and enjoy”? The additional “print” function is a great thing.

    Thanks,
    Pablo
