Dark Rainbow!
I want to thank each and every person who voted. It was very close at the end and Dark Rainbow beat out Whiteboard by just one vote!
Now, what happens next?
Well, I have taken all of the comments and suggestions you guys left in the comments and have been working on making Dark Rainbow easily work for everyone. Some noted that the light gray text on black background wasn’t enough contrast, so I’ve upped the contrast for better readability. I’ve made other minor design changes (organization of content), and will be launching CSSgirl on Dark Rainbow within the next two weeks!
What about the other themes?
Well, here’s the best news for those who voted for one of the three other themes: I’m converting each one of these to generic Wordpress themes for free use! Those themes will be ready within the next month and I’ll make an announcement of where you can demo and download them.
Once again I appreciate all the votes and comments. :)
I don’t know how or what I did ;O but after messing with some stuff this morning I ended up breaking this site in IE6/IE7. I’m sorry for any IE users I don’t have the time to fix it either. Guess you will just have to wait 2 weeks for the new CSSgirl to emerge (possibly sooner)!
So just because I feel bad I’ll throw out another (scaled down) sneak peak of the new design:
Yes, so I hate my site. And I have for well over a year now. But, while I’m busy making kickass websites for clients I have neglected poor CSSgirl.
So I have designed several CSSgirl versions since the end of 2006. And now almost two years later (!) I have finally ALMOST finished the new design, and I’m going to share a small sneak peak.
The new CSSgirl is slated to debut May 1st. I know! That’s insane and probably not going to happen, but I will work my hardest to push it out, but I will not neglect anything this time, like with this design.
Well, I have had very little time since I started my new job to get new articles out (expect a new article soon!) but I did have a few spare moments to enter Veerle’s awesome “What Is Graphic Design” contest and while I didn’t win anything, I thought it was super cool that one of my entries had caught Veerle’s attention (4th on page, can’t miss it, the one with all the yummy looking cupcakes!). You should definitely take a moment to check out all the super-awesome winning entries, and all the entries in the flickr pool!
These three were my entries:
I wish I could find more contests and challenges like this so I can really exercise my creativity and push myself!
PS: I would have posted this in a timely matter a week ago, but unfortunately my Wordpress wasn’t working correctly due to an update by my host. Thankfully we’re back to normal, and finally using the most recent WP release!
Something is very wrong with my Wordpress. I have about 5 articles here waiting for publishing, but everytime I hit Save and Continue Editing, Save or Publish it just refreshed to my homepage…
Nothing new. Haven’t updated nor changed anything. Haven’t tried to publish anything until this Sunday. Last article was on the 9th.
Any ideas out there?
