A Blog About Making Culture
Making some tweaks
October 4, 2005
If you're reading my blog in a feed reader, c'mon over to the HTML version and take a look -- it's painfully bright! Thanks to Lilia for making a beautiful template which I promptly uglified, and thanks to everybody who built the Styles Library and StyleCatcher for Movable Type so I could easily swap in this theme.
(Don't fret if it really does hurt your eyes; I can change the design with a few clicks. I just wanted to play with this for now.) And yeah, if you didn't know, this XHTML structure works on LiveJournal, TypePad, and Movable Type, so I could theoretically ask millions of people to use bright purple on their sites and it'd be technically possible. Ain't technology grand?

Anil give urself some credit this style looks good.Infact its less cluttered than your previous one. ;-)
btw the link to the HTML Version on your post is broken.
Gordon
Yeah it is kinda… purple..
I dunno though, it’s a bit too generic surely?
Ach what do I know, as long as YOU like it (and it does have some rather nice subtle touches).

You might want to tweak the HTML for the HTML version link as it’s “gorn orf” …

Good lord, it is pink. And purple. Purple and pink. Quite an achievement.
It really is better than the previous design though.
Mark Benson
Technology is indeed grand my friend. What do you call the new look? Lila(c)?

The html version link is quite broken at the moment.. looks like your backend gave you an extra span=”caps” where you didn’t want it.
That aside, i like the new look, bright as it is =)
Rob Drimmie
Ouch.
I love it, but ouch.
goes back to bloglines

Anil, please change it to a less painful color! It hurts my eyes! ;)
Jeevan
The layout is good but the purple / pink is so bright it’s burning my eyes. ;)
Daniel Nicolas
You weren’t kidding.
The MT styleCatcher is pretty sweet.
jkottke
Bold! I like it.
Lilia Ahner
Hi Anil, thanks for the shout out! I thought you would be more of a Purple Crush kind of guy…
Jerry Gennaria
Yes. Painfully bright! But keep writing, the articles are always insightful. And besides, Bloglines dims the wattage of your new found brilliance!
Jeffrey McManus
Good day. Your link, it is broken. That is all.
Evan
Your “HTML version” link is broken.
(And why don’t you do OpenID yet?)
Scott Johnson
Looking good. But what happened to OpenID/TypeKey support?
Decklin Foster
MY EYES! No, I like it actually.
I just wanted to note that the “HTML Version” link up there is broken. the feedburner link brought me here fine though.
Anil Dash 
Oops, TypeKey/OpenID support is back. I had omitted one little step in redoing all my templates.
Srijith
Ohhhhhhh! My eyes! Good Lord, No!

OK, OK … you really, really, really like Prince. We get it. ;)

You have sullied thine eyes.
Oyvind
You being the no. 1 Prince-fan in the known universe, the new color was no surprise.

Holy smokes…it’s like the 70’s all over again. Yet somehow it works, interesting :-).
