Another New Layout
Yep, already. I know I didn’t have the last layout up for too long but due to special circumstances, I was forced inspired to make this layout. This layout was designed to encompass my Sims Legacy posts since I didn’t want to create a separate blog just for that (doubt anyone would see it anyway). I originally planned to have it 3-columned but by doing so, there would be less space for the posts – nobody would want to see a long entry stretched far and narrow would they? In the end the initial template was scrapped and I resorted to designing a 2-columns layout. The idea of this layout was gotten from one of my earlier designs (unfortunately that site was lost). I coded the old one using frames and the tabs actually flip to the other side when you click on a specific link; in my opinion it was much cooler though. : P
Well there are still some more tweaking here and there with this layout. I am still having trouble trying to fix the individual tag pages as they are not showing the correct tabs. The category view is fine. For example, if you are reading a Sims post, the tabs on the right will be orange, corresponding to related links. On the other hand, all other categories excluding the Sims posts will have green tabs. Special thanks to my bf for help with scripting that.
Like I said this layout is still a bit incomplete. I have been working on it nonstop for the past 5 days and right now, I am in major need of a Sims break. Work shall resume tonight, hopefully? By the way the name of this layout is Tablet! I know isn’t it creative? /sarcastic.
I love this new layout! Very creative and professional looking
I liked your old one too, but I’ve always preferred lighter colors on blogs.
Pretty new layout!! I love how you’ve incorporated your Sims posts here as well. So WP advanced, lol!
Same here, I still prefer bright layouts over darker layouts, it’s so much easier to CSS and design.
I am glad that you like it!
Nahh I didn’t really code anything, just had to add an extra column.
But yay thanks! <3
woww! very nice design, i like it a lot n__n
I saw your site featured in http://dreamling.ca/ and I just wanted to come and compliment your site myself!
I really like how the index page differs from the page with individual blog posts. The whole thing looks clean too, which I like.
You’re layout is great AND you’re a sims fan! Could it get better than that?
Thank you so much! .^_^.
Thanks for the visit! Wow I didn’t even know I was featured there /blush.
The main reason for the different layout on individual pages was because it wouldn’t show up right if i keep it a book layout. In my opinion the individual layout still needs some tweaking though, it’s so empty on the left! (not to mention the broken pages that I have still yet to fix. D:
Always lovely to meet new Sims fans! I love Sims but too bad my laptop seemed to hate it..
A slow comment but I absolutely ADORE this layout.
A slow reply but yay, thank you, it means a lot. ^^
