Rusting Red

Finally, using my own design again for this journal. Actually, I’ve been working with this design since around 4-5 months ago and didn’t had time to finish it. Some bugs are still lingering around, let me know if you found them.

Rusting Red

I named this layout “Rusting Red”. This layout relied heavily on Blueprint CSS Framework, which is a great CSS framework - safe me hours of tweaking.

Some new features here:

  1. Adding Twitter, flickr and del.icio.us widget on the right sidebar.
  2. Search now performed using Google Search.
  3. No more CAPTCHA, using “Preview before Submit” method now.
  4. Thanks to Blueprint, hopefully this layout is easier to read than the default template.

Of course, nothing is perfect, there are some things unfinished yet:

  1. The Colophon and Contact sections are unfinished. This will be the first priority.
  2. The Blogroll (Links to other blogs - yes, it’ll back) still not finished too.
  3. Some bugs probably still laying around.

Well, I hope this new layout will make this journal easier to read and pleasing to the eyes. Enjoy.

overall bagus, tapi bener kata iyay, posisi tanggal, judul dan post-meta agak2 nggak lazim dan nggak enak dilihat.

nice to meet you at blitz!

Hm.. been thinking of using blueprint CSS Framework myself, dah nyoba2 si dan buat bikin form yang bercolumn2 enak banget :D tapi blm dipake untuk desain beneran, will be looking forward on trying it :D

The design is nice but for me it leaves an unfinished feeling. It looks as if it is cut on top (the title/nav is red, but everything below is white). On the contrary, the dates/subject positioning looks just fine to me.

By the way is the ‘About This Entry’ text on the right column supposed to be halfway between the red and white? It looks strange here.

Keren tapi…. Iya sih, kaya ada unfinished feeling (jiee) :P

Tapi keren :D Suka ama curvesnya. About This Entry-nya, itu emang beneran ada icon paragraf (eh, atau apa tuh ya? Pokoknya gitu deh.. Jadi bingung sendiri) yah?
