Snapped Shot

Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

Site Redesigns: Still a barrel of monkeys!

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Sunday, May 20. 2007 00:37
I've just completed the second redesign of the website this evening. I've dug deeper and farther into CSS than I ever have before, in order to bring you the best looking, fastest loading, most accessible Snapped Shot ever! Many thanks are due to JayDee for the style debugging and random CSS help—I know I bugged ya a lot over the past month. (Hopefully the new style was well worth the wait, bud!)

If you run into any problems with the website, please don't hesitate to let me know. I've tested the site on the Apple (Safari, Firefox) and on the PC (IE7, Firefox), so hopefully it's got as many cobwebs shaken out of it as possible.

I'd love to hear what you think of the new look—I think it is much better at highlighting the photographs here. Since this blog revolves around imagery, and the use of it by various factions, I felt it was appropriate to focus more clearly on the subject at hand.

It's been a blast, y'all. Hope you like!

A Briefe History of ye Snapped Shott


Here's the sordid history of the way Snapped Shot has looked over the past 9 months.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Sorry to disappoint you Brian but I find the white on black very hard to read for my tired old eyes. Is there any other colour scheme you can come up with, where the text is darker than the background? (e.g. black on white like it used to be? ;-)) Or even black on grey like the comments appear to be.

*Annie,

Ack! I'm sorry the new design isn't optimal for you. I'll do my best to come up with a "Plan B" that will make the site easier for you to read...

I guess this is what I get for not doing "market research" first, huh?

:-)

Regards,
Brian

*Hey now, Brian, don't despair. Your comment box colours are beautiful! Perhaps one of them for a background? :-)
