This Is My 301st Post
I just happened to notice that I have 300 posts published on my blog.
I started blogging on August 21, 2005. I guess you could call that a milestone of sorts. So, to celebrate, I`ve adjusted the look and feel of the site. I`ve also added a Random Post feature in the sidebar so you can painfully re-live the past!
Check it out and let me know what you think!
Welcome to my Web Blah... er, Blog.

Easy to navigate and organized. Well done! The site is your own, too; that is, it’s all you! Of the dozen or so other blogs out there in internet-land, this site looks rather unique.

Thanks man! You are the one I was trying to impress!
I know white on black is sometimes hard on the eyes, so I hope I picked the right shade of off-white. I’m not sure about the red for the hyperlinks though… It’s the colour that came with the theme that I butchered to get what I got… I welcome the honest opinions of my reader. Uhm… readers.

Hey Steve. I looked at this post earlier today and wasn’t sure about the ‘red’, but now that I am here for the second time, I would like to say it is appealing to the eye. Great job!

Yeah… I’m still not so sure about the red. I might just pull in the good ol’ blues and purples from my previous theme. I dunno… we’ll see.

I’m not a fan of graphics that have white outlines on them on black backgrounds, it makes them look all jaggy. That goes for the titlebar, the little person graphic next to the poster and the bullets on the right side.
I think visited links turn dark red, which I’m finding hard to read on the black background.
I like the home, about, contact etc bar at the top, although it’s sort of uncentered between where it starts and the white line on the right side that indicates the start of the sidebar. May just be my resolution though on my work craptop.
I don’t know how you did the little speech-bubble type thing, but the graphic is jaggy. Want to buy interlacing.
I never use the search option, I wonder how many people do, I don’t think it should be up with the titlebar.
I’d like the St. John’s Now picture higher on the sidebar, it’s interesting to look at, unlike “RSS” which is one of the first things I see. I’d swap the two.
Good job!

Oh, I guess it was just that one graphic in the titlebar that was jaggy. It also didn’t show me one of the hilarious faces when I first came here but now it does, I was gonna complain that I missed em.

Love the new look and feel. Wasn’t quite sure about the color red at first but the more I go through the site looking the more I like it. Nice job!

Skippy,
You’re office smells like day old Swiss Chalet and your keyboard/mouse are all greasy. Hope you’re enjoying your vacation because I’m enjoying your office.
Just give’r!

Okay Steve, you may be vacationing, but that is no reason not to have a new post up by now…something exciting or intriguing must have happened by now that you want to let us all know about…
