If I had a dollar for every time I redesigned this site over the last 3 years, I would have at least twelve dollars. This version goes back to (ugh) tables, rather than a 100% CSS layout. I just didn't want to deal with that this time, and I wanted this layout to work the same in Mozilla and IE. And it does (almost 100%). It looks best in Chimera (OS X) and IE 6 (Win). Besides, those are the best browsers for each platform anyway. It looks damn near right in almost every other browser too, though. That's a good thing. And I figure, if it's standards compliant (and it is: XHTML, CSS), the all-CSS thing isn't necessary.

Also note that Shawn has also just redesigned. This is the second time we've both redesigned within days of each other... scary.

Is it insane that the last two times I redesigned, you happened to also redesign within a day or two? Or is it so sane that it's blowing your mind?

Looks great. The date format is just one of those great things that throws an insolent "No" at the web and makes it a tad more like print. Which is good.

i happened to visit just as you were uploading. the header was in place but the text was still times new roman. i was going to hang around so i could make the first comment but i got distracted by the beavis and buthead film. how lame is that!

i agree with shawn. the date format looks really good. and the rest is as well but sometimes i get hung up on little things. nice work garrett.

Very nice Garrett... What is that strange language at the bottom?

Garrett on 01/13/2003:

Thanks to everyone. And Ellie: it's Russian.

Matt on 01/13/2003:

Thanks much, Matt. I'll get you a new logo with that grey background if you wish, so you don't have to bother.
