Redesign Once Again
Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2007 11:39 pm
I've been meaning to redesign my site using bulletproof ever since I first saw it and now I have. http://zacgarrett.com
The original design was by a friend who is a wiz in photoshop then I took that design and ported it into a usable format. I originally used the blue bulletproof theme to get a grasp on how it worked. I've since trimmed down on most of the "fancy" features. I've also added a few small things here and there just to make everything work just how I want.
I am very happy to say that my site is now tableless. I hate tables and bulletproof made it easy enough to get rid of them.
The one thing that I don't currently like about the site is the link color in the actual entries. I've tried nearly every color under the rainbow and nothing seems to really work great. I find the current color to look okay but it can be slightly difficult to read the text.
Total time on the template by me was about 9 hours, from 4.30pm to 1.30am. Most of that time was trying to remember the right CSS functions to do what I wanted.
