My Christmas project finished early. After just a day and a half of work it was finished. All before Christmas got started. So I needed something new to occupy myself.

When setting oneself a project you need to consider your environment. I always spend Christmas with my dad, bringing my iBook and iPod with me. I always do the cooking. We always watch the Boxing Day test match – this year coming from Australia, so it’s on video to watch at more suitable hours.

I decided that my new project would be twofold: to prove that you can do professional web design on an iBook, and to re-skin this blog. And now it is finished. Much of the graphic design was done whilst cooking Christmas dinner and raving to Voices of Summer 2005. The CSS work was done whilst watching the cricket, and that was quite a challenge – when CSS works, it’s brilliant. When it doesn’t work, it’s a pain to fix. This blog currently looks fine with Safari and Firefox. It may work in Internet Explorer. It may not, because Internet Explorer doesn’t currently support min-width.

Keep an eye out for the changing lyrics at the bottom of each page. Well, they will change once I’ve done the code and found suitable lyrics. At the moment you’ll have to make do with Serene.
