Work In Progress

So basically the way the site…. which I think I’ll refer to as SGTN… anyway the site is basically using the default look from the Movable Type installation. While it’s “ok”, I’d like to personalize it a little more. I have a few ideas bouncing around in my noggin’, the first of which you can take a look at here. Obviously it’s not terribly functional, but it’s useful to visualize what may or may not work.

I was happier with the woods theme until this morning when I realized the original background images, which were png files, were about 400k and 500k in size. I really wanted to use the png files with translucency so I wasn’t locked into any particular background color. Alas, that won’t be possible with jpeg files. On the bright side the file sizes shrunk to 16k and 24k.

So, anyway, I would appreciate any feedback, suggestions or encouragement you may have. Thanks!

i’m not a big fan of the woods… but that’s just me, perhaps, not seeing the forest for all the trees.

Well, I liked the layout on css Zen Garden’s default page, and I thought some pics from my backpacking days would look nice. I’m not a big fan of the solid colors on most sites. I’d like some splashes of imagery and this is the only idea that’s popped into my head so far.
