Anonymous,

I have now changed the logo to an image because like you said, it looks better on different computers.

I’ve also fixed the tabs on IE since they looked funky for a while.

I think you should still use an image for your logo. On my work computer (windows xp, firefox/IE) I don’t have ClearType, so the aliased font doesn’t look so hot. Also, the a:hover underline is kinda annoying and inconsistent throughout Firefox (thick) and IE (really thin). It’s unappealing since it’s supposed to be a banner, yet has the underline

Ben,

No problem. I meant no disrespect! On a side note, it’s always nice to see fellow Torontonians who are also Ruby on Rails developers

Cool Gary, thanks for adding that. I’m sure Jeff will appreciate it.

Hey Gary, I've enjoyed reading your blog, and I like the new look, but shouldn't you give Jeff Hardy some love?

David,

Which link do you speak of? You can view the old layout by clicking on the link that I provided in this post.

I already told you what I thought, but I’m casting around for any excuse to put off studying for a bit longer.

Everything’s smaller now, so it fits more info without having to scroll down = good.

I just noticed. Didn’t there use to be a link to all the projects you’ve worked on?

Chris, I’m glad that the photo is suitable enough for the sidebar

Darren, thanks!

Mark and Paul, thanks!

Chris, I’ve added the photo of myself that I normally use into the sidebar. Hopefully it’s good enough that I don’t have to take a few more head shots of myself

I like it, clean, whitespace. It would be nice if there was a small smiley photo thumbnail up in the about part of the sidebar, as the blog is about you it’s good to put a face to a name?

Very nice. Much cleaner than the old design.

Much better – cleaner, sharper. Good job!

JW,

Anything that looks like Disney’s stuff, and made by me, is good enough in my books!

Looks more professional, less Disney like, which is good… unless Disney sues you for no reason. Not that the previous one looked anything like Disney…
