hey there laurence,

i came across your blog while trying to find a possible solution to a redesign problem. i would concur with the comments posted above. i would almost love to see a contents page if that is possible, just because i'm an amateur, closet techie who, perhaps, spends way too much time teaching myself bits of code. that said, your categories column is much more helpful (& easier to scan through) than most.

i was wondering if you could offer a suggestion to a fix regarding, surprise surprise, firefox/explorer page view. i'm new to the drupal community, so i'll likely be posting this question there too. ff is fine; explorer has defaulted the background color of my content from white to a terrible shade of pink, and is also blocking some images (although the icon shows that the path isn't broken). i'd read about z-index, but i'm not sure if that applies to the images, plus it all started to hurt my head. could you take a quick look? the in-progress redesign site is morenamedia.com/index.php (firefox is how it should be, explorer is doing it's own thing -- also, i purposely got explorer to ignore the search bar in the header as it was causing me too much grief, so the difference there was intentional).

thanks for a really resourceful and easy to follow blog!

Tags Clouds = useless ... I never even look at them on any page I visit.

Interesting point about the content Gerard. I agree with you that content higher up would be a good thing to look at integrating - thanks :)

As for the number of columns, I was actually considering a no-column approach with the posts being split out across the page - although not quite sure yet how (or if) this might work! Time for some Photoshop...

Funny, I'm going through a bit of a redesign myself, so been thinking about blocks, modules and what to include and not include.

Personally, I'm thinking about going with a fairly wide two-column format, possibly with additional space in the footer for 'extras'. Nice big graphical header and tasteful colour scheme.

I like your site's design, but your header pushes the content down quite far, even on my huge monitor! Wouldn't mind seeing a little more *above* the fold.
