Have you noticed the redesign? What do you think. Don't hurt Alang's feelings.

Me I think its 1970's formicatastic.

i like the rollovers, ooh pretty colours...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:06 (twenty years ago)

I think it's lovely but ~~is the carpet going to match the curtains~~ are the individual blogs going to match the front page?

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:08 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, what Archel said, esp. w/ regards to the white text in the top link bar against a light background (cf. NYLPM). The front page, tho, is HOTTTTTT.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:09 (twenty years ago)

I think it looks great!

Jeepers, in Netscape here at work it's a bit chaotic.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:11 (twenty years ago)

People still use Netscape??

― lock robster (robster), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:15 (twenty years ago)

Front page = roXor!

Could we possibly have a home or frontpage tab instead of the Freaky Trigger in white writing thing on the current blogs tab?

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:15 (twenty years ago)

The nu-FT is v. pretty BTW. Nice work Alang!

UCI is an odd place.

In psuedo-related news, I just had a friend with no connection to anything on FT or ILX e-mail me "Hey, I heard you got served with a cease-and-desist order?"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:17 (twenty years ago)

The carpet DOES match the curtains. Look what happens when you wave your mouse over the blogflaps!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:18 (twenty years ago)

filth

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:20 (twenty years ago)

Freaky Trigger served with 'cease and desist' order after causing epileptic fits among young Japanese children">

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:21 (twenty years ago)

I know Matt and it's fancy and great, but waving is not clicking. Or am I doing it wrong? Hur hur.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:23 (twenty years ago)

HURT ME. HURT ME GOOD

*blush*

bad pete.

thanks etc. RickyT wins the prize for pointing out the one glaring problem (the white "FreakyTrigger" is practically invisible innit)

carpet/curtains match up is planned. we're getting there.

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

Hurrah! I should actually write something again one of these days.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

Heh, Archel, I was thinking the same thing. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:27 (twenty years ago)

I think the word is... lurid, in the etymological sense.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

spunky

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:30 (twenty years ago)

I always forget about Freaky Trigger for some reason.

A suggestion for NYLPM: [in the right side panel of NYLPM]

use the RSS for Updated Music Blogs
http://blo.gs/3600/favorites.html

i.e http://blo.gs/3600/favorites.rss

inconjunction with FeedSweep services
http://www.howdev.com/services/feedsweep/

with FeedSweep you can select how many entries you want to display, e.g last 20 30 40 50 100 whatever

a basic demonstration of this:

(While we're at it, a brief history of FT because we don't have a proper intro page.)

Thanks Alang, the redesign is refreshers-tastic.

DJ M thanks for the suggestions - I'm going to be revising the NYLPM sidebar quite drastically over the next month or so and will bear this in mind.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:33 (twenty years ago)

holy shit! nice work alan!

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

I love it, but the "Do U See?" part drives me crazy. It's YOU. YOU. NOT U, YOU. Next thing you know AlL oF ThEe EsSaYz wIlL be WryTen LyKe ThIs.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:37 (twenty years ago)

? b-but all mInE already R??!!¡¡¡¡

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

you mean they aren't? (xpost)

i just wanted it that bit extra shorter, it was the first tab to "double-deck" when you narrow the browser window. How about "Do You C?" (heh) or "DYS?"

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

Oh don't bother changing because of my curmudgeonly bitching, but strangely I like "Do You C?" much better.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

c on ts, obv.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:49 (twenty years ago)

Yes.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:49 (twenty years ago)

I love it, but the "Do U See?" part drives me crazy. It's YOU. YOU. NOT U, YOU.

But eye thought U liked Prince.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

Those are the most all-encompassing rollovers I've ever seen. It's like a monument to php.

― sunburned and snowblind (kenan), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

It looks very polished. Fancy.

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:36 (twenty years ago)

www.freakytrigger.co.uk is still serving the old page (as distinct from freakytrigger.co.uk) but I'm sure a few weeks will fix that.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 18:05 (twenty years ago)

I don't see any difference.

― sunburned and snowblind (kenan), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

I like the new design - slick! And the flyer design for the club is great. Very Velvet Goldmine.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 18:27 (twenty years ago)

It looks great, but I look forward to completion of the redesign.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:00 (twenty years ago)

S&S - have you looked @ the index page? The blog pages are primarily the same.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:01 (twenty years ago)

"Do U C (on T)?"

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:06 (twenty years ago)

That is some tricky CSS right there. Quite a feat to have pulled off.

― Eleventy-Twelve (Eleventy-Twelve), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:12 (twenty years ago)

(I never knew you could use CSS to C on Ts)

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

What did you think CSS really stood for?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

Spiff!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:27 (twenty years ago)

Spiv, even.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:27 (twenty years ago)

All right, finally testing it at home on Safari, looks v. nice...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 01:03 (twenty years ago)

how does it look on Galleon for Linux dorks?

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 01:05 (twenty years ago)

Uh-oh, has Ned incurred the wrath of the lawyers again?

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 11:42 (twenty years ago)

I love it! (I'm also proud of myself: I have installed WordPress ALL ON MY VERY OWN. Punktum's dead and redirected. hurrah)

― nathalie barefoot in the head (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 11:48 (twenty years ago)

Raggett hoodoo

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 11:52 (twenty years ago)

Poor hamsters!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 13:26 (twenty years ago)

Congrats on yr WordPress install, Nathalie! I was going to offer my "services", but as you proved, it's peasy to do, Also, my services would've consisted of me saying, "it's peasy!" & then sending you a bill.
