Spring refresh

Well, I figured it was about time for a spring refresh, so pardon the mess while change things around. spring 2005 siteI think you’ll find that the new layout makes the images jump off the page at you, thanks to some nice drop shadow and rounding techniques I found around the web.

They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, so to Alessandro and Richard, flatter away.

Update: There’s an issue with the javascript that creates the rounded corners. The final.js file lists the order in which the rounds are enacted on the page like this:

RoundedTop("div#container","#FFF","#e7e7e7");
RoundedBottom("div#container","#FFF","#8395CB");
RoundedTop("ul#nav li","transparent","#FFC");
Rounded("div#box","#C0CDF2","#E4E7F2");
Rounded("div#minipics li","#C0CDF2","#FFF");
RoundedTop("div.gradient","#C0CDF2","#B8B8B8");
RoundedBottom("div.gradient","#C0CDF2","#ECECF2");

The weird thing is that it apparently only works if the elements are in that order on the page (with none missing). On my archive pages, I don’t have the minipics in the middle, so the ending gradient box isn’t rounded. I’ll have to dive into the code… but not tonight.
