Rethink. Remake. Redesign.
I’m tired of this website template. It was a cool idea when I started it… mostly based around the image flipflop on the front page. But it’s quickly showing its age. When I created it last year, I was still designing for 800 × 600. Those days are past… may 1024 × 768 reign supreme. I like liquid layouts… especially on my 1400 × 1050 screen where they are lots easier to scale using Firefox.
I like colors and light. This template has none of that because I’m not much of a designer, graphically or conceptually speaking. Nate is too busy to help, not that he really knows about webdesign. The scanlines, as one of the IF staff put it, “make my eyes bleed”. The lack of whitespace makes everything seem cramped. And I have no menu space!
I like images. How many are there in this template? Mm hmm. None. Because I’m not a designer. Give me a picture of a site, and I’ll code it up happily. But conceptualizing is a whole different ball game. I dunno, I’ll get it down one of these days. But until then, this layout’s got to stay ![]()

Because it’s bland and gray. Among other things, like being unable to extend the right-side menu.

if you figure out how to do liquid and add a copyright at bottom, let me know. As is, I like this layout. But I assume like me, you need a change every so often. Can’t wait to see what you come up with. You need a banner of you and stuff you like. also might be good to use idiopoll since its your creation. other than that keep everything else.
