Notice anything different?
Well, do ya?
Thanks to Robb for the site redesign! And use him for all your gun blogging template needs.
And if you notice anything quirky, lemme know.
Update: Still working some bugs out.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

testing!
September 14th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
I see pictures!
HTML thing works.
Individual comments page is wonky….
September 14th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
indivial posts page is wonky…as well, like it over all.

Should the header graphic not appear on the post’s
permalink page? Also, this box I’m typing in doesn’t
wrap properly.
September 14th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Yeah, there’s a ref error in the header. Working on that now
September 14th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
yall’r fast
September 14th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Wow! Nice clean look. Good job!
September 14th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
looks sharp!!
September 14th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
RSS feed still looks the same 🙂

Other than the fact that my blog hasn’t been called mAss Backwards for almost two years now, as in your blogroll there, it looks great.

I like the banner graphic. It’s a little wide for those of us who don’t browse full screen. You need a better division between posts. I would axe the line between the title and the post, and have a little more contrast instead of a harsh divider.
September 14th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
Looking more at the banner graphic, I’d suggest making it taller, and putting the Say Uncle text down lower and offset a bit to the left to narrow it up a bit.
September 14th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Gaaaahhh contrast needed.
Youre link color is very very bad my friend, and the link followed color is worse.
Never make the link/link-follow lower contrast than the primary text and background.
September 14th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
I thought the link followed color was jsut very slightly different… now looking at it again, that was just the angle of my screen, and there seems to be no difference between link and followed link.
September 14th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
Well, I still have to zoom the text to 130%. I do wish that blog designers wouldn’t specify the font size unless they absolutely have to, so my browser can use the default I specify for my eyeballs.
So, what happens is that this comment box is partially hidden behind the right sidebar, and the Archives select month dropdown intrudes into the middle column. It also doesn’t do anything, so I guess it relies on JavaScipt. Bletch.
And I’ve always hated when the background of a link changes on hover. Makes all sorts of things just go blinky/flashy as I move my mouse around.

Not enough apes in the header.
September 14th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
I hate change. But I hope that this works out well.
September 14th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
I hate change

Seriously, the monochrome is not as friendly to my old eyes as the prior, stark, black, white and color format.
September 15th, 2008 at 12:19 am
Looks great! I love the graphic at the top.
September 15th, 2008 at 12:56 am
Looks Good! I guess Robb actually does know what he is doing.
September 15th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Robb is a css ninja.
I feel like I’m falling desperately behind the times when even Uncle’s site looks better than mine 🙂 I wonder how many boxes of 10mm it’ll cost me to get Robb to redo mine.

Link color – agreed. Need a darker link color. However, I hate followed links changing color. Personal tastes though. If Uncle wants, I can change the link to a much more contrasty color. I can see where some people might not be able to make it out.
Jed, I don’t specify a particular font size, but rather a percentage. Uncle uses a fixed width layout so there’s only so much room in the middle to put text. That, and I’m using the same sizing as he did before. In Firefox, hitting CTRL and the “+” should increase everything proportionally if you’re having a hard time seeing things.
Sebastian – The graphic size is the same as the old layout. Figured if people could deal with the way things were, then I wouldn’t mess too many people up. Again, it’s a fixed width layout, so the banner needed to extend all the way out.
I don’t like the divisions either when it comes to all the posts together. If Uncle wants, I’ll change that too.
As far as contrast, outside of link color, the text is still black on white and the same as the old site. I prefer the darker colored background to highlight the content, but again that’s all personal preference. The back-end code is also optimized for search engines so Unpossible should get even higher rankings now.

Seconds/thirds/fourths the link color complaints. Also, there appeared to be something of a hang in IE7 running on Vista when loading the webpage. Not so much a bug, just a slight pause while I guess it gets everything it needs. For instance, on the old webpage, the load-time counter was always sub-1-second, and now it is reading 1.328.
Yes, I nitpick.
Otherwise, does not look half bad ;).
September 15th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Look at my blog.
Do I look like someone who gets all wound up about site design? 😉
September 15th, 2008 at 8:49 am
I kinda liked the old design. It was simple and straightforward, like I’ve always imagined Uncle to be.
This will take some getting used to. I do like the header graphic, though (g).
September 15th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Link… color… eye strain!
Other than that, good stuff!
September 15th, 2008 at 10:52 am
I like it. Nice upgrade over the old look …
September 15th, 2008 at 11:09 am
I got an idea, but it might be lame…. as a post divider, how about a line with a bullet at the end of it. Something like this
=================================================/ D
Except not lame like that.

Aw, man. No more Terrance and Philip.
I like it, but the banner across the top seems too narrow. The top of (your?) head is cut off.
