Okay, so I always wanted to do a simple “Georgia” (the font, not the state) based design.
I guess it was A List Apart that got me excited about Georgia a while ago, and now recently even Boing Boing went Georgia. How could I resist joining the revolution? Georgia is going to be the new Verdana! (no wait a minute, Zeldman already said that back in 2002…)
Anyway, what better time to actually do it than a day or so before you go on vacation?
I’m sure there will be some odd things here and there, which I will try to fix tomorrow. In the meantime feel free to let me know if you find something I broke (and don’t tell me I broke the colors!).
P.s. I removed some AdSense. It’s not like I’m getting rich any time soon from these ads, but the big list in the sidebar did start to annoy me so I got rid of it.

So far in the WordPress Tips series, we’ve talked about all the killer plugins you can add to your WordPress powered blog. But what about the actual appearance?

CSS Zengarden is one of my favorite sites to have people check out, to help them understand the power of CSS and to see how same code + different stylesheet = brand new website (or can be anyway).

There’s an underground trend that’s been going on for quite some time among those who don’t enjoy the usual MySpace layout aesthetic – loud music, tons of animations, layout that’s falling apart and color matching from hell. These folks have gone to great lengths to make their MySpace profiles as different from the “standard” MySpace layout as possible.

Alright, it’s that time again… So I got bored with the plain white look of rekkerd.org and made things quite a bit darker.
