Giraffalicious

And so the template is complete and online. It looks 99,9% exactly as I created it in Photoshop, and I’m content with it. I originally tried making the categories possible with a plugin, but decided to use “include” and “exclude” in the tag instead. Worked like a charm.

My plan is to make the header change depending on time of day and what month, but that’s programming still in progress. And I haven’t made the images for it quite yet.

See, giraffes are cool!

    This is gorgeous - I love it! My favourite so far, methinks. I think it’s particularly impressive how much information you have on your front page, but how clean and uncluttered the space still looks. Kudos.

    But …

    … YOU’RE NOT LINKING TO ME! HEEEEEEEATHEN! HEEEEEEATHEN! You’re linking to DAVE instead! IT’S THE WRONG FURIOUS ANGEL!! ARRRGH!

    Fixed. Not sure how that happened though, I know it’s a .com
    It also explains why I thought your “new layout” looked so different from everything else and how grumpy I got when I saw there was no link to me.. Because it wasn’t even your site…

    …Double cutegasm. The grid is so perfect and clean. The only thing I have to whine about is the comment area…everything is light grey against white? Can’t see =_=

    Giraffes aren’t cool… THEY’RE FLIPPIN AWESOME! Did I tell you that a giraffe helped me on my psychology test? That’s how awesome they are.

    I absolutely adore this layout. No, seriously. It’s beautiful, clean, and the colors just make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

    And I actually bothered to read that line. Hi, Maja!

    Leila - I’ll see if I can find a more suitable grey-shade.

    I agree with Leila, the grey tone is a bit too light!
    It’s very nice! Nice footer too :P

    This new layout looks absolutely amazing Maja. It fulfils every factor of brilliant web design: the giraffes are suitably cute, the gradients are web 2.0-ish, there’s links to the archives so I can catch up, the colours are amazing.. it all holds together so well!

    Wow :3
