It might seem a little confusing and odd at first, but we are just a simple community of misfits searching for something larger than ourselves.
I suppose I jumped the gun this weekend when I implemented the new design. I was so excited about it that I forgot THE rule when designing sites: Check it out on every possible browser. I didn’t. It looked good on my IE7 so I thought it was cool.
This morning I was having an email conversation with Albert from Urbanmonk.net (an excellent site by the way) and told me that my site was screwing up on IE6 and Firefox. So instead of posting relevant material today, I worked on making my site compatible with these two platforms. I’m glad to say that it is all good with firefox. There shouldn’t be any trouble viewing the site. IE 6 is good.. not finished. The drop down menu isn’t working for the browser. I’m sorry and its my dumb mistake, but you wont be able to use the blog menu if you have IE6 for awhile.
It took me a couple of weeks, but it is something that I am extremely proud of. Altnoise.net is completely redesigned and running on the server. If you are reading it through an rss feed, come check it out.
I have never seen a blog designed the way altnoise is and that is good. Maybe I can start a design revolution. It is a very minimalistic look, but still has enough elements to please the eyes. I built the design upon the most basic wordpress theme I could find: Barecity.
I’m Not Perfect.. Here Are Some Changes
There are still some things that I need to tweak and work out. The comments section on single posts need something to help it flow. The main menu right above the bottom blue section will probably be moved to the top.
Allright, everyone. I know I mentioned that some changes are starting to go on and I am excited about them. I am redesigning (again) altnoise.net to a much more slick and minimalistic look. The design is almost finished and is looking very good. Right below is a small screenshot of the top half of the site.
You can actually stay up to date on any upcoming changes of altnoise by going to http://intune.altnoise.net . I have changed the site to a test site for altnoise.
Also, I really would like your input on the changes. If you have any idea on how to improve altnoise or any comment (good or bad) on anything we decide to implement then let us now. It would be great to see this site built and added to by you all.
Here is an opportunity for you, my loyal readers, to take Altnoise.net to the next leve. Lately, I have been reflecting on the site and have decided that there needs to be a change at the fundamental levels. From your comments, emails and offline conversations, you have told me that my writing has encouraged and inspired you in your personal life. This feedback is what keeps me pushing forward into the unknown
I could write up in the sky
forgive me I apologize
still if I went through every measure
with my promise to be better

She stood there at the door. One foot in. One foot out. I knew what she was feeling. It was my fault that she was hurt and crying, but there was nothing I could do to fix it. I told her I was going to change. I told her that things are getting better. I told her that she could’ve done something. All the excuses were in vain. She looked beyond me and was broken. There wasn’t anything I could say. She knew the history.
