Page Redesign

Alright, version 2.0 of this design is online. It isn’t locked off vertically anymore and is (finally!) 100% 1024×768 compliant. I haven’t made a lot of changes on the outside, the gfx are essentially the same. But the entire underlying structure is new. Nothing fancy, it’s still trusty, hand-crafted HTML. But it’s set up in a way that’ll make automation through PHP a lot easier – if I ever do it. The articles section is still locked off, it will take some time to update them. If there’s one section that makes me consider going to a database ASAP it’s the articles

Most of the sections carried right over. The most notable change is that I split news posts and blog posts now. In the past I was always hesitant to put too many purely personal things on this page, because I also use it as a way to advertise new levels, articles etc. I didn’t want those news to get lost in the midst of unrelated stuff.
I added my backlog of olds news to the page, they now go back to 1999. I’d lost the original HTML files, but the evil ways of Archive.org made it possible to reconstruct everything but the pictures.

As for the look of the page, I’m still torn between doing a complete redesign and keeping the current one. I like the fact that my page doesn’t look like Just Another Blog(tm), but the dark look of the current page can be a bit too oppressive and overbearing at times. I’ll see, the new structure will make it easy to experiment with different graphics.

If anything but the Articles is broken please let me know!
