Website Updates
Time for another boring post on the website! I’ve upgraded WordPress to the new 2.5, and I’m really not sure I like it. It’s a bit confusing, everything is switched around. My biggest peeve is the new image gallery feature. I can see how it might be useful for someone who doesn’t edit their images much and just uploads them direct, but for me … well, it doesn’t work with Lightbox properly and I don’t like the thumbnails it takes, just a square out of the center of the picture which looks daft, most of the time. I’d rather be able to move the square to a different place on the original image, or just make my own thumbnails. Currently not an option.
Also have two possible new layouts, but I’m not sure which one I want to use yet. So, poll time! Which do you prefer? Do you think anything specific needs changing?
[EDIT: Thanks everyone who voted! I’m going to go with the first one, and it’ll debut in a couple of days. Need to finish off a few things first!]
Neither are quite finished yet, the graphics need tidying up on both. I wanted something a bit more fresh and spring-like, hence the green and white. I also really like green. A lot of my layouts are green!

Eeep, you’re dead right, it doesn’t! I’ve put the wrong url.
Corrected now!

I would choose the first onee

The second one doesn’t look right in FireFox, and the first one doesn’t look right in IE. XD But I like the first one better for the more colorful design. Though I would suggest a slightly darker text color on the first design. Overall they’re both really nice looking and I really like the green. =D

yup, I like the first one too, although I might be tempted to soften the background a bit perhaps.
I think somethings up with the footer too as I’m getting a mainly white block with a small dark grey block to the right side.

Thanks everyone!
Mallory – I haven’t tested either of them in IE yet, I’m too lazy to bother validating etc until I know which one I’m going to use. And yes, darker text is on my list of things to change!
Vicki – I know the footer is messed up, I forgot to upload the image for it! I probably won’t get chance to do that until tomorrow now.
Sounds like the first one is on for a win anyway.
