Jillapalooza

IM IN UR OCEAN. EATIN UR CARDZ.

New Theme: Iceburgg

I had to scratch the itch to change my theme again, so here it is. The original theme is called Iceburgg (see footer for link). I made a few changes to bring it up to the jillapalooza.com standard that you’ve come to expect by adding tag fields, custom graphics, catchy tag lines, etc. I also had to fix the css because the double enter wasn’t creating the desired line spacing.

It’s got the sidebar on the bottom. I guess that would make it a bottombar. I like it… and I don’t. The clean look of having all that clutter out of the way is nice, but if you’re looking to navigate it’s kind of a pain. But there are only 5 posts per page, and most keyboards today come standard with page down buttons. Besides, I’m really only interested in what two people think of it. Me and Blog Reader Kristen. Who still doesn’t have her own blog. But I guess that’s why she’s called Blog Reader Kristen and not Blog Writer Kristen.

Any how, it’s got a fun wintery theme, which I made kind of Christmas-y. I’m not sure that I like the double header pictures, but if I keep this theme for any length of time I’ll probably create a fun jillapalooza.com logo (with the Gimp of course) to put at the very top, then delete the text heading underneath it.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think. :bobble:

By the way, how many more times do you think I’ll change my theme before Nick posts a blog again?

New Logo

Did ya notice the new logo? Did ya?

I made it with The Gimp. Actually I made quite a few, so it was a tough decision of which one to use. I was thinking it would be fun to jazz it up for different seasons or holidays. Then I thought it would be neat to substitute little drawings in the place of letters. The “oo” would be perfect. I had a whole master plan in place. Then I realized that’s exactly what Google does. Here I thought I was so clever. Oh well.

I’m kind of sad that it’s not in the Sexy Sara font. I tried, but it doesn’t enlarge all that well. :(

BUT… I do like the new favicon better. It looks all 3D and there’s no more big white block around it. And it’s the new jillapalooza pink, as opposed to the old jillapalooza pink.

**UPDATE** I’ve noticed the pink logo background has appeared funny on a few computers, if this is the case just hit F5 and it should take care of the problem.

GW Update

I made a lot of changes to my girls’ weekend pages today. Boy was that a lot of work, although you probably can’t tell by looking at it. I’m just dreading the first time I decide to change my theme. Maybe the GW pages will be forever mortalized in Fruitlicious…

Anyway, if you’re lucky enough to know the password to the GW pages make sure your sound is on. You will find a pleasant surprise ;)
