so, since i last posted about moving WfD to its own domain, i continued to labor over the new design. since that time, i have accomplished the following:
1) moving some things from the left column to the right column
2) changing some fonts
3) dividing the post text into clearly demarcated sections
wow. it's amazing what 8 hours of work on one design can yield. i'm sure a professional would have been much faster. the ability to design a good web template is a mixture of art and science, with art taking the dominant role. web designers do have to have an understanding of some elements of structural syntax that define programming languages. even so, they have to be artists first. hear ye, all potential employers of web designers: you get what you pay for. if you pay well, it's likely that you will receive an elegant, functional design quickly.
if, on the other hand, you are the kind of scum who advertises unpaid internships requiring 5 years of experience, you are going to get screwed. believe me. that sla.. uh, i mean, _employee_ will find a way to fuck you over. it might be in a small way. even so, it will be in an incredibly *annoying* small way. or it may be so small that even if you never know about it, it gives that employee a deep sense of satisfaction... such as sleeping with your wife, or peeing in your soup. especially if that employee actually has the 5 years of experience you require for an unpaid internship.
i think the goal is to move the blog sometime next weekend. i may not make that deadline. so far, it looks the way it should in firefox 1.0.1 on mandrake 10.1. so, that covers... me.... as far as i know. i think i am responsible for most of the hits that WfD gets from users running Linux/Unix variants. all 5 percent of them.
