I told you I would do it...

posted under category: General on October 1, 2006 by Nathan

Thanks to Bryan and Michael of the ColdFusion Podcast and their 2 minute dissertation on the ownership of this blog (which was really funny), I have redesigned Dopefly to include my name in much more obvious places, and increased the font and layout sizes enough for it to be visible from space.

That wasn't the only reason. I was looking for a way to get more horizontal space in here as well, and was getting bored of the old dusty feel. I think I still have some problems. Alanda's tablet makes the background look "puke pink," and there's a display problem with IE (isn't there always) on the top nav.

Overall, I would call this a great success for CSS and included display (header & footer) files. This whole change wasn't more than a handful of hours.

Please comment if anyone has other display issues with the site. Complaints about it being too wide are valid, as are color scheme gripes and so on. Thanks all.

Nathan is a software developer at The Boeing Company in Charleston, SC. He is essentially a big programming nerd. Really, you could say that makes him a nerd among nerds. Aside from making software for the web, he plays with tech toys and likes to think about programming's big picture while speaking at conferences and generally impressing people with massive nerdiness and straight-faced sarcastic humor. Nathan got his programming start writing batch files in DOS. It should go without saying, but these thought and opinions have nothing to do with Boeing in any way.
