Spring refresh
Well, I figured it was about time for a spring refresh, so pardon the mess while change things around.
I 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.
