Unveiling a new layout.

This is a small redesign I've been wanting to do for a little while now. Returning to dark background, eliminating a great deal of cluttery links and blocks, and so on. Getting some cache modules installed. I even reduced the number of posts per page (it's actually 5 now instead of 10. That may help, or maybe not.)

For a base, I took an existing Drupal layout (it's called 'decayed' if you're interested) and tweaked a lot of stuff here and there. Jon helped me with all the photoshop manipulation here (including finding some REALLY gorgeous looking flower and butterfly brushes - he says they're free to use, if I knew where they're from I'd credit it ;.;). And I'm reminding myself how much I hate CSS! :D though it isn't quite as bad this time around. Float and clear are my friends.

Not quite done tweaking with all the details yet. I'm going to expand the Announcements section some, for example. Still need to make a final decision on what blocks go where, and how I'll make up for the info that gets cut out.

I'll be working on this more later (and possibly a real post. Maybe?!) but for now it is PSU TIME!

Ooh!

*flail* This color scheme rocks. I love it, and I'm totally digging the butterfly bit. I've been staring at it for a few minutes with my brain going, 'Ooh, shinybits.' :D

p.s. ilu <3

I'm glad you like it!

I actually really like the image Jon made for the border/top. And he got it down to 30kbytes for me. Now that's sexy.

I still have plenty of things to tweak but now I'm starting to get a headache over the more technical aspects of trying to improve the speed of my site. I have know how but I have like, 0 patience!
