Thanks a lot for your piece of code, it really helped me. I do appreciate

Looks nice. A bit too traditional for my personal taste and probably more a theme to be used by webzines in my opinion.
The page numbers at the bottom do not display well in Safari on my Mac, but they display correctly in Firefox.
Keep up the good work

mmmm thanks for your reply. I've been looking around and this is way above my skills right now !!!
I have simply resigned to pick the images by hand make two copies of them (b&w and color) with a simple js with onmouseover / onmouseout. works well in FF, safari and IE.

This PHP thing seems neat though i'll have to think about it

As for me, I believe that one should make a difference according to the nature of the website.
I mean I understand that a company website should be compliant to the standards and be 1)accessible by anyone on any device 2)developed according to the company owner criteria.

But what's the point of a personal website if its author cant have "full" control over it.

I would never blame someone to use Flash or even tables on his personal website.

Since I'm no professional and mainly develop personal layout and design, I dont feel any pressure by those standards, i just like web design so i'm doing my best to come up with good web design and check my website in various browsers and whenever i got time and feel perfectionist, then I run the test and correct "so-called" mistakes.

For example I dont really understand all this fuzz about the sIFR thing. If I want rich typo then I create an image with an alternative text. full stop. At least I know it's gonna work well in my iPhone - which does not support flash, nor load yet another JS. And anyone viewing a website on a text browser will get the alternative text and certainly does not expect anything fancy anyway.

Well yeh that's what I thought thanks for your replies.
Each time I'm like "ok this is not possible, it's all about CSS. But then I don't know why I keep noticing that everytimes.
It may be because I accidently visit professional websites that are not hosted on Wordpress or because I'm having a hard time stepping back from my Wordpress designs (which I guess, appear dull to me throughout the time!)

Anyway, thanks or confirming my delirium :)

wow thank you very much guys for all those points. So much stuff to work on!! AT least I'll be busy today :)
It's really interesting to have an external point of of view.
Alright this is gonna be Day 2 on this blog

Oh wow! Thanks guy for the comment. I actually asked the question on my site and the guy I linked to reply something similar to you.
Now i'm wondering whether I should put this property off in my CSS.
I guess i'll give browshots a try to see how it appear on other systems .

As for me I am waiting for Avalonstar to come out!

@hthth:
Well Wordpress certainly is good and flexible. Typepad Pro will give you the exact same features.
I don't if it's me only though But I have the impression that Typepad designs just "look and feel" better.
The inconvenience with Typepad is the upload of new files . Last time I checked I did not find how to FTP those files directly to Typepad, instead you have a traditional webbased uploader.

Now the thing is, Typepad provides strong tools for blogging on the go and this was my main conerned actually. Like I aid I'm on Wordpress and do it via Flickr.

Also I believe Wordpress provides many more extensions.

Now both of theme provides a very deep customization tools.

The important point however is that if you start with Wordpress without knowing a little bit of PHP and CSS it will probably take a year before you understand how to get a well designed place. At least this is what it took for me after playing around with various themes. Typepad may not be much easier when you go in deep customization mode but they have an efficient support team. I believe this would be the main reason why youd wanna choose Typepad Pro.

Well this is a very interesting list that I bookmarked on del.icio.us :p

Just a thing:

21. Use text navigation: text navigation is not only faster but it is also more reliable. Some users, for instance, browse the Internet with images turned off.

Great work!

yup exact same for me, I'm inspired as i am fallling asleep.. or more exactly trying to fall asleep

@Seanrox: I was talking about a moblogging feature. I want to be able to blog text and pictures (and why not videos) via email to my blog.
Right now i'm doing the photos via Flickr and I use Kyte.TV widget to moblog my videos

Oh BTW also I noticed that you could do better for the Go button of the search box. I'd replace it with an image

Very nice! it's a very well done simplistic design
Each time I see a pleasant work it makes me want to completely trash my own work lol

Maybe I would put the banner a little more toward the top of the page
Also I was thinking may be you could use a contrasting background (orange?) or a different green tone for the comment section just to spice it up a little
Also I think it lacks an About page, I like to read about website's author, especially when I find their design very well done :)
Finally it would be cool if you could manage to provide only the title of the article in the search results.

Keep up the good work!

Here is mine

Wow! thanks very much for all those answers! i'll check out Textpattern and SimpleLog. I was particularly interested in the Mobile feature for Expression Engine.

As for me I used to be a Typepad pro user and i then switch to Wordpress

i like the 3rd layout except that the central part should be aligned to the top and bottom parts, but then i'd need to see what it looks like once implemented

Well in my previous thread I mentioned Veerle's blog because I was thinking about adding more colors in contrast to the background. I am currently trying to figure something out.

My current test site (yeh I got many of them!) is located here. (have just been trying out stuff on the footer)

I actually got the idea when doing a page for my girl friend

Different color could maybe add a sort of "lounge" style which may stress the retro atmosphere I was looking for.. not sure

@Peroty= Oh Thanks my bro's life :)

@Oli= That's awesome I never actually thought about those details concerning the font next to the icons. i'll revise my alt text to the images.

"And could you get any more ads on the site? "
This is the first someone tells me my site is cluttered with ads.
i might get rid of the sidebar one though

I wasn't far was I ;) yeh you won!

Nevermind I found it:

Thrasherhosting definitly is the best and the cheapest

You're right I have read things abour this problem. Thanks a lot. i'll try to modify the width

Wow that's excatly what I keep dong when I bored!

Today I played around with Axialis WorkShop a very good icon editor and check its potential to make graphics.

Got Webscratches.com yesterday to sort of replace insideyahoo.net. Not really impulsive as I checked for good name
