Oh no! I hear you cry. What happened to the layout?!

It's CSS Naked Day 2007 today (5th April) so my site is, for all your viewing pleasure, naked. Doesn't it look k3w1i3z?!11/1

No, the real point of stripping the CSS is to show off promote web standards and semantics. I'll most likely be putting the CSS back before the end of the day, so you shouldn't have to put up with this for too long ;)

Edit: And the layout is back :) Wooooo. Hope you enjoyed the nakedness!

Apparently I don't blog enough.

According to Jem, I don't blog enough. So just for Jem, here is an entry. :P

I am having weird browser issues with the greyscale theme (the default one). First the numbers next to the comments disappeared in Opera when I upgraded to version 8.54, then the blog title arrow thing disappeared in IE. WTF?! Now, IE users have never been able to see the numbers next to the comments, because of the way my CSS works and how IE displays its ordered lists. Basically the gravatar image ends up covering the number, and no matter what I did it wouldn't work without screwing up in other browsers. But Opera always used to show the numbers, I don't get why it's suddenly stopped now... I know it's to do with the image again (if I take out the float: left; everything is fine, but if I put it back or change it to float: right; it disappears) but I don't know how to fix it. Grrr. And as for the title bullet, IE is refusing to display it without a background colour. It refuses transparent, none, or inherit - it MUST be an actual colour. Whaaat? It was working fine before I condensed all my background stuff into one property, but I tried putting it back into the separate ones and it still won't work. Grrrrrrr.
Anyway, Firefox is still behaving, as I hope is Safari (don't have a Mac, can't check) and all the rest of the browsers I don't have. It's just IE and Opera that seem to have forgotten how to do things. *Grumble*

I need to redesign this site completely. Revamp and rejig of content and stuff. I need to delete the whole thing and start again, that's the only way I actually manage to do it. If I just go through what I already have and try and improve it, it just ends up staying the same or looking even worse. Boo.

Oh yeah, and also according to Jem, I don't link her enough. So here are a few plugs to go with the other 5 or so that she has on my homepage alone. :P

Naked website day!

Inspired by Jem, I decided to take part in the Annual CSS Naked Day. I think this is an ideal opportunity to show off see how my website looks without CSS - I'm personally rather amazed that ALL the layout, positioning and colours are controlled by CSS, and I think disabling it means that you see my site as it really is - HTML and text.

I like turning my stylesheets off from time to time, so for those of you who are using stupid IE don't do that as often as I do, here's a chance to experience the skeleton of a website. Enjoy.

(Not enjoying? Tough. I'll most likely put the real design back this evening/tomorrow morning, so come back then.)

Edit (10pm on 5/4/06): I put the CSS back. Got bored of seeing my site as a skeleton so it's back as it was. If you have a decent browser (Mozilla, Firefox, IE for Mac and Opera all have options for this - there are probably options in other browsers too), you can view my site "naked" at any time by turning stylesheets off. So yay, we're back to normal.
