All wrapped up, like a pretty present
Done! Finally. My blog is styled, by website is running (www.stonefest08.host56.com) and I can now do those other things I need to do. Graphic design for a start.
For my blog design, I wanted to do something really simple yet bold. I decided on the final one after a few trial designs. The first one included a banner for each type of post, that wrapped around the content section. I decided against this, when I realised that my styling would be too complex for me to create on the back of an existing blog theme.
The style changed a few times until I decided I liked this one, and the icons for each post is what I kept from the original design.
The most annoying part of the styling was changing the properties of some of the elemets, most noteably the permalinks and the quote source. I still haven’t enitrely worked them out, but I have changed them enough to make me happy.
All in all, I found this unit quite fun. I know I grumbled a lot, but the problem solving and the trial and error I found challenging. I definately feel more comfortable with web design than when I started, and I hope that I can pull through the next time I have to make one.
So thanks to all for all the help!
Big love, rmcd
