The Montoya Herald — ChristianMontoya.com
In avoiding all homework/work/etc. for a few hours, I made some updates to the design at this site.
First of all, I fixed the lists in the footer, which applies to both versions of this design. I don't have any reason as to why I didn't do it before, but I switched the markup from UL to DL and used floats to structure it as you see here. CSS snippet:
#footer dl {
overflow:hidden;
}
#footer dl dt {
clear:left;
float:left;
font-weight:normal;
margin:0;
padding:0 0 .2em 0;
width:20%;
}
#footer dl dd {
float:left;
margin:0;
padding:0 0 .2em 0;
width:79.6%;
}
I heard somewhere that overflow:hidden forces a container to contain floated children, but I can't verify that claim. You'll have to look it up for me.
Second, I updated the header image of Domo-kun just slightly, but if you can't notice the differences then don't worry about it. Pat yourself on the back for not being too nit-picky.
Third, made a lot of stylistic changes to the "Domo On" version… I made the links in the comments section pink (because I was running out of colors), I added an edge-graphic to the navigation and "hire me" sections, I updated the form boxes as well as the buttons, and I changed the border styles on images. I don't know if any of these are good changes, but that's where you come in. Share your comments, suggestions, and dreams. I'll be listening.
Update 2-17-07: I am now officially cool because I have random thumbnails from my Flickr photo-stream displayed in the footer of my site. Visit the homepage to see them. Mad props to Veerle for making it look so easy.
Sorry, comments for this entry are closed at this time.
i like the links to hover when i hover over them, but thats just me
