In my previous post I stated that for the Fall Reboot I was completely redesigning my site.  This included building a new CSS file from scratch that will help to determine the layout, colors, and overall theme of my site.  Let me tell you right now that building a site completely off CSS is a pain in the ass.

Can't wait!  As you can see, I'm going back in black.  I was originally going to submit the 'light' colored theme for the new reboot, but eh....I guess white isn't really my color.  Well I don't know.  I actually think it depends on what I'm listening to while working on my site.  Lately I've been listening to this new hardcore punk bank called This is Hell.  They fucking rock.  And well, now my site is darker and more reflective of my personality.

Yes my friends.  The homepage that was recently put up no more than a few weeks ago has been taken down.  The blog homepage has been changed to only display the newest blog entry with two new blocks under it that show other recent blog entries and comments.  The header, footer, and side menu have been updated and changed.  The comments system was updated with a new layout, images, and colors.  Plus, the comments cookie actually works and will save your info now!  The gallery page has been updated to reflect these new site changes (still not showing correctly in Firefox though).  And finally, a new search feature has been added to the site.

Whew.  Well with the May 1st Reboot underway (see my entry here) I've been trying to clean up my site and coding to get it 100% compliant with web standards.  The three main standards I'm working with right now include XHTML, CSS, and RSS.  When coding a site you have to meet certain standards.  Well, you don't have to meet them, but it is good practice and shows your visitors your commitment to non-sloppy coding.

I've submitted my site to CSS Reboot one day before the dead line.  I wasn't going to do it but decided what the hell.  I put a lot of work into this site over the past few days getting ready for the May 1st Reboot.  Though the site's not completely done yet (will it ever be?), I couldn't miss the chance of missing another Reboot this year.
