Yay! 
Just lettin’ ya know in case you experience any technical difficulties either getting into or surfing around in the blog at any point this evening. The tech glitches (if any) should only be temporary.
The new design is beautiful – or as commenter "poverty pimp" would say: It’s DA BOMB! ![]()
Update 11:10 p.m. ET: Well, here it is! It’s formatted to work in most browsers and screen resolutions. Anyone with an 800×600 or below resolution will have to scroll across a bit but the content is in the right place – where as before, the content was bleeding into the sidebars and vice versa on the smaller resolutions. Hope ya’ll like it
A huge THANK YOU goes to Lisa at Elegant Webscapes, the skin designer. She did a fantastic job!
Update 12:12 a.m. ET: One commenter (Big Bang Hunter) has said he’s having some issues with viewing the blog in the new skin. He’s viewing in IE/Resolution 1024×768. I am too but am seeing everything just fine so I’m trying to figure out what the problem is. If any of you are experiencing issues viewing this skin, please post them here in the comments section or email me.
Update 1:18 a.m ET: Re: the blogroll, it used to note with a small .gif if a blog had been updated in the last hour. I’m not working off of Blogrolling anymore but am instead working off of the WordPress link mgr, which is experiencing issues with noting updated links. Hopefully it will be corrected soon. I’m logging off for the evening to get some sleep – thanks for the feedback on the blog skin! I think we have a winner.
Tuesday morning update: Welcome, La Shawn Barber readers! And thanks to La Shawn for the compliments on the new design ![]()

Well, would you take a look at this new skin.
Your website has become my favorite place to visit. I look forward to kickin’ back with a glass of wine while reading your blogs. Well done!
Thanks ya’ll! I’m rather fond of it myself
Just doing a bit of tweaking and testing right now …
- Sistah …. erm…..ahhhh …… Hmmmm …. tell you what ….. lets wait and see if its just a tweaking thing….. I’m running 1024×768 and it don’t fit…. but I’ll wait…..:cool:
- Otherwise its first class and Uber great….
Bang, what browser are you viewing it in? I’m in IE 6, 1024×768 and things look just fine.
- Ditto kiddo? … sooooo wonder what the prob is…..
Oh man … can you tell me what you are seeing? Can you do a screen cap for me, by chance? What exactly is not loading right?
Looks good in Maxthon 1.3.3, with Archives column, etc., offscreen to the right, but that is fine. I can scroll over that-a-way. The content is my main reason for bein’ here, anyhow. Keep it a-comin’.
Working for me. I like that the comments don’t open in a new window myself.
- Its fine in every way….. just wider than the normal slightly reduced window…. I’ll get used to the new “look”…. no big…..
Bachbone: Aw shucks -thanks
AT: I’m kinda glad I didn’t do pop up comments this time around too. The reason I did them before was because it seemed “fashionable” in the blogosphere. But I much prefer the comments done like this.
Bang: Ok, thanks
Let me know anytime if you have any trouble viewing the content.
Yeah, I do like it. I am looking for a new three column theme for Wordpress that expands across the whole screen. I am have trouble finding one though.
Hey Dell! Lisa’s the lady to talk to for the three column designs … her portfolio has some three column designs that go all the way across the page.
Looks nice. I like it.
Thanks Jay!
La Shawn is right; a very beautiful job.
I love the color schemes that you use!
Never having seen the old skin, I would say to have the gentleman with the problem try deleting all of his Temporary Internet Files and clearing his cache.
Thanks Steven!
Appreciate the tip, ktm … I didn’t even think of that.
- I tried clearing my cache…. the creen cleared up but now the car won’t start…..
Are you still able to view the content of the blog, Bang?
- Sistah – I can see everything fine… the only thing I mentioned is it doesn’t auto fit to a slightly smaller window than full screen like it used to… Its really no big deal…. you can’t have everything…. looks good…:grin:
Ok Bang … thanks for letting me know
Fantabulous new skin!
Thank ya, kind sir
