Site design updated

Just uploaded a third revision of this site’s design. Main changes are:

  • Some layout adjustments
  • More prominent search bar
  • Adjust the category list space
  • Change the list, individual and category list views
  • Remove unnecessary CSS and markup
  • Change headers to a Serif font
  • Allow for use of images within the individual tips
  • Clean up the comments, submit and contact forms

I still have some work to do but the main work is done. One thing you may notice is the use of a couple of fonts from TypeKit – FF Tisa Web Pro for the Serif font and FF Meta Web Pro for the body sans serif font.

Not sure if its just me, but the fonts appear to be buggy..

Hope you like the changes – post any comments you may have!

Very nice, Jonathan!

Didn’t expect it to be ready so quickly!

Two ultra minor details:

  1. the ellipsis on “XX tips and counting” is missing a dot. In fact, am I too OCD if i suggest to use a real ellipsis? Textile provides them for you!
  2. also, on the same place, I think a “text-align:center” would look nicer. What do you think?

I like to work fast ;-) I changed the masthead “95 TXP Tips and counting…” to 3 dots and aligned center.

Thanks! Was not able to check the Textile for ellipsis because it seems the page is down (on thresholdstate).

You are certainly fast, Mr. Stubbs

You can borrow some real ellipsis by copy them from the end of this same sentence I’m writing…

For some reason, the text-align:center; doesn’t seems to be being applied to the masthead.

I changed the ellipsis (learned something new today – I didn’t know about the ellipsis). The “95 TXP Tips” was changed to text-align center earlier, I now changed the slogan to center too.

How does it look?
