I think I’m finally satisfied with the way things look around here. The stock background image in the header is temporary, at least until I can get outside and take some photos. I think I’d like to take a panoramic shot of Salt Lake from Grandeur Peak, the tallest mountain on the east side of the Salt Lake Valley.

There’s still work to be done to make the layout look better in IE. IE doesn’t support the PNG graphics used to create the translucent navigation bar, so instead you’ll get an ugly white thing with unreadable text. I’m researching hacks that might work to trick IE into rendering something a little more readable, but in the meantime, why not download a “superior browser”:http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox?

Comments, questions, glaring inconsistencies? Post ’em here. Thanks.

Well, I still haven’t done any graphic work, but I think the layout is pretty much in place. It will probably be tweaked pixel-wise to fit whatever design I build, but you get the basic idea. I would love to have something like the design over at “Ordered List”:http://www.orderedlist.com, but it probably won’t happen. Graphic Design is not my forté.

Enough of you have been complaining about the splash screen (was it really that hard to click the preview link?) that I’ve finally taken it down. I don’t feel quite so embarrassed about the site anymore; it actually looks alright like this. Rest assured, though — it won’t look this way for long.
