Okay, any opinions on the new layout? Needs some work, but a decent start.

1 Very blue.

BTW, Have you ever mentioned to Ace about linking the Moronosphere?

90% of his blogroll are old, dead blogs anyway. I don't think he's updated it in.....ever.

2 I miss the zombie line. And red is my favorite color.

But I support you in whatever you do.

3 Ace will be moving pretty soon, and I think there will be some badly needed spring cleaning. Basically, Pix created a transfer for mu.nu that has transferred Ace's old site and other mu.nu sites to the mee.nu system. There will likely be bugs that need worked out, and Ace will have to give final approval to the look of the site, then there will be the big move and some other changes, and after that, I'm guessing the cleanup begins.

4 I went with the blue because it matches the Moronosphere seal and Banner. I may do my own banner at some point, but this is a start. I'm also considering some other changes that I think people will like.

5 As for adding our roll or fixing his old roll, I think he's afraid to touch anything on his old blog because it is such a mangled mess. The transfer to the new site should help clear out a lot of that, though.

6 Color's cool. But you need at least one zombie on the masthead, or a vampire at least. SW has a running weasel on her masthead; maybe you can learn the trick and have a shambling zombie on yours.

7 Heh, that would be awesome, and yeah, I need a zombie for the banner, all in due time.

Posted by: doubleplusundead at May 28, 2008 04:35 PM (ZuzXA)

I think everything looks pretty cool. Of course you could add some boobs. Us morons like boobs.

What?

9 Nothing, its a good point...points.

Posted by: doubleplusundead at May 28, 2008 05:34 PM (ZuzXA)

10 I agree, it needs at least 100% more zombie.

Braaaaaaaiiiiiiinnnnssss.

11 I'll work on it, honest!

Posted by: doubleplusundead at May 28, 2008 07:25 PM (ZuzXA)

I hate the new layout. The posts are still legible, and the last thing I want to do is continue to read the garbage on this site.

I keeed. I keeed. Looks fine to me.

13 Your question bordered on the age old "do I look fat in this" trick perpetrated by women through the ages.

So my answer is and always will be, "it looks awesome babe!"

More zombies....

14 Nah, not really, layout really can and does effect your visits, there are sites that have changed that I don't go to as much in part because of changes made that I've hated. I used to go to Townhall regularly a few years ago, then they changed everything around and I rarely went after that. And it has gone downhill from there after they turned it into a sluggish ad/popup mangled mess...not that I mind the popups when I do go, my browser smacks those down pretty handily.

15 Looks pretty nifty to me. I like the blue/black banner; haven't tried that combination before, but it works well.

Posted by: Pixy Misa at May 28, 2008 08:18 PM (PiXy!)

16 Two words, D-Pud...Layout Offsets!

Posted by: FishFearMe at May 28, 2008 08:24 PM (w7YpG)

17 P.S. I like the new look.

Posted by: FishFearMe at May 28, 2008 08:24 PM (w7YpG)

18 I agree with the consensus - needs more zombie! Just kidding. It looks good.

As for Wordpress blogs, I ended up putting the Moronosphere on mine manually. I still haven't gone through and checked out everyone's blogs to make sure they are listed under their names, and I'm not up to date...oh well, I am busy with house stuff.

19 No worries. There's a way to make the roll post, but its a pain in the ass from what I hear.

20 Just found this on the Wordpress FAQ.
My code has gone from my widget

If you paste code into a widget, save and when you look again it has gone then the system has removed it.
This is done for security reasons.

Anything that has a line like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
or that uses Form or Input tags for instance is not allowed. There are other tags but the effect is the same - they disappear.

There are no exceptions to this.

So there's the explanation why I can't do it.
Of course, there's no explanation why they won't let me do it.

21 Blogrolling I think does give some alternate scripts, tell you what, I'll see if I can add them to links tomorrow, because if I leave them in this old post, no one will see them.

22 Love the blue.

How about a few shamblers in there with either splatters (in red, of course) or a few errant limbs lying around?

Posted by: lemurking at May 28, 2008 10:32 PM (FtjaD)

23 I have an idea, but I have to see if I can make it work.

Posted by: doubleplusundead at May 28, 2008 10:38 PM (ZuzXA)

24 I like the blue. It's very calming.

Wait, you're not trying to lull us into a false sense of security, are you?

25 Blue's not my color, personally, and this particular blue might be a little too light for the Moronblog links only because it makes it hard for me to read, but I like the layout. And I like the masthead update. Looks almost like those prompts to "type in what you see here" to avoid spambots.

26 NEEDS MORE ZOMBIES!!11!

Posted by: Nice Deb at May 29, 2008 09:13 AM (7TjSG)

I dunno. The blue is good, but... I guess I agree with the others that there needs to be more zombie representation, or at least a couple of brain graphics spiked here and there.

Posted by: Old Iron at May 29, 2008 09:18 AM (tD0Cq)

28 Never in a million years did I dream one day I would be reading comments critiquing the graphics and layout on a zombie blog.

Posted by: PattyAnn at May 29, 2008 09:22 AM (1XQw3)

29 I'll get to making a zombie banner, I've got a bunch of changes I'm making.

Posted by: doubleplusundead at May 29, 2008 10:03 AM (ZuzXA)

I like the new layout and the new look. It's cool. But I do second the incessant griping about the lack of zombies. Plus, I miss the old line about shambling and rambling (but can't remember: was it more shamble, or more ramble?)

Posted by: Plebian at May 29, 2008 02:01 PM (2uXrs)

31 Less shamble. More ramble.

Posted by: doubleplusundead at May 29, 2008 02:09 PM (ZuzXA)

32 The blue is ok but I really hope you put the less shamble more ramble line back in the header graphic. And a zombie or two. I admit it: sometimes I clicked in here just because the slogan made me laugh.

Posted by: BGG at May 29, 2008 07:39 PM (+H3Vi)

33 Ah, you're one of Weasel's readers, wondered where you came from. As for the banner, I'll see what I can do. I'm doing a lot of redesigning and moving things around, so I'll be sure to get something with zombies and the slogan up at some point.

Posted by: doubleplusundead at May 29, 2008 07:48 PM (ZuzXA)

34 And yeah, I like the Less Shamble. More Ramble. line too.

Posted by: doubleplusundead at May 29, 2008 07:49 PM (ZuzXA)

35 Heeeeey - nice color choice. I like it.
