A Fresh Face

January 2, 2006 · 6 Comments

It turns out however, that trying to run WordPress 1.5 and 2.0 on the same server was not a good idea.

I wanted to put the new site up into a sub folder, and import all of my WP 1.5 content. Long story, but it ended up mixing up my databases, WP 1.5 went down, and here we are with 2.0.

I’ll be tweaking lot’s of different areas over the next few days, most notably Internet Explorer 6 support, which being on a Mac over the xmas period has proved difficult to test so far. Adding a comment right now may prove to be difficult/impossible as I’m using position:fixed…

I’m also finishing up the contact form, comment previewing and tag archives, all which need a little AJAX love.

So, in true 37 Signals style, here it is, the rest will come later. ;)

    New design is fresh, I like that style.

    Be glad to see it when you’ve made the final updates, you’ve got a few html issues to clear up I noticed too.

    Ah yes, I’m sure there are a few validation errors to clean up.

    That’s generally the last thing I get to when creating the site, I’ll give it a once over and make sure it’s all in place.

    I’ll clean those up once I’ve finished the above features. Thanks for kind comments and checking those out.

    am i the only one who sees the text a little bit mashed up ?

    Hey Orion, can you expand at all please, what you do mean that the text is “mashed up” and what browser/operating system are you using?

    I’m still in the process of testing things out, however, the text has generally looked okay on most platforms so far.

    Thanks for the input.

    nice. :) i dig this very much. is this the one you’re planning to submit to the WordPress 2.0 Theme Competition? got through your website via the participants list at http://kcyap.com/competition/?page_id=8. :D
    looking forward to see this design win, if ever! send me an email (as unusual as it may seem, that really is my email. :P) when voting starts there so i can pitch in some votes from myself and my mates. :D
    regards!

    I know I’m a bit late to the party, but this design is superb - good looking and devoid of most design clichés.
