Paragon site changes

As you may have already noticed, things are changing here on theParagon site. I’m just getting sick of the design and decided to remove everything from my CSS file.

I’m starting over and will be doing it in front of everyone. Things may start our rather boring but it will hopefully get better (although I can’t promise when).

The main rule I’m keeping for myself while redesigning the site is to not touch any of the HTML. I’m only allowed to touch the CSS files.

Why am I doing it that way? I’m mostly curious if I can, that’s all.

As for ideas - I have no clue as to how it will look when I’m done. If you have suggestions, feel free to let me know.

Yeah, because you needed one more thing to do… ;-)

Preliminary opinions:

* Liking the yellow highlight on the active input field.
* Not liking your blue links, but maybe I’ll grow into them.
* Live comment preview is totally broken (FF 1.5), also, if I don’t have JS, I can’t preview at all.

Good luck, and have fun!

Using IE, the site now is unreadable…

Whatever you did, I can now read things. It previously looked like everything was written maybe twice, with a pixel offset. Also, and I run into this with the programmers at work (who are all 20 years younger than I), they use small fonts thatare a pain to view in the “older” crowd. There should be a law against using anything less than about a 12pt font!
