Cosmetic changes

October 20th, 2006 by Dave

You have hopefully noticed that I’ve made a few changes on the site, mostly cosmetic stuff, in my continuing mission to find a formula that is readable without being bland.

The changes include a new page background (hit refresh if you still have the old one) and moving the random image to the sidebar (just below the Roll the Bones news). I’ve also brightened the background of the content to plain old vanilla #FFFFFFF. I’d been shying away from this, thinking that too much bright white would induce eyestrain, but I think that the combination of a darker page background and soft tan accent tones should cut down on that.

I’ve made the changes in the blog pages, and plan to roll them through the rest of the site.

Since I’m traveling to Foxwoods for the big East Coast launch this Sunday (2 pm at the Storyteller), I probably won’t get to it this weekend.

The site really has come far in the two years I’ve been running it. Anyone with me from the start remembers the white text on blue background, which was a good look, I think.

I’ve also got my AmazonConnect blog up on the main page.
