paragiraffe I love arugula.

redesign

I would like to thank the following for contributing to my redesign:

  1. Wilco
  2. My Powerbook
  3. Diet Sprite
  4. Many, many episodes of The West Wing, Dawson’s Creek, The X-Files, and My So-called Life.
  5. People who NAGGED.

And, without further ado, let the comments begin.


26 Comments

I’d comment but I’m too busy reloading to see if I can get all the different photos and then checking them under all the different colors.

Okay, maybe one comment – purdy!

I do not nag! The people must be inspired. That is all.

I am completely dumbfounded now. I have no clue what I am going to do since I can’t bug you (sounds better than nag I think) anymore. Perhaps I should work on finishing my site now instead.

In conclusion, it’s nice to see it all come together.

Love it love it!

wow mau – this really looks great!

I know I’ve been lucky enough to see snippets of the design as it came along, but publishing still blows me away. Purple is my favorite. Definitely.

It looks fantastic. My favourite is green. :) Yay, Maura!

I really like the design. I like the changing picture. I like the colors. I like how it feels like Wilco. I like how you have your nudes hidden under a ghost link on the side. Great job!

My favourite is the green one, perhaps it’s time for me to start on my blogdesign. If I only a day had 48 hours instead of 24, I would get so much more done in a day.

What most people do not know, is the paintstaking work Maura puts into affairs of the heart, such as this blog redesign. Here and there, I’ve seen her work on this concept to bring it to fruition.

My hat tips to you for an evolved design that exceeds the merits of the former. Clearly, we must make use of your design skill for client work now.

The next design comes when? =)

WHAAAAAAA!!!!

i’m enjoying the red.

Posted by Rachel on 30 September 2004 @ 8am

This is looking good! I really like the different colors and pictures.

Posted by Aubrey on 30 September 2004 @ 8am

I like the overall design. Colors will take some time getting used to.

Glad to see the kick back to the random loading image. Was something I briefly considered on my own redesign.

it’s definitely much different than the last, which i’m still fond of – but this is very nice :)

Great design. I’m loving the purple.

I find myself clicking through colors, wondering which scheme I like best. Then, I noticed the tint on the photo corresponding with the left bars — so of course, I had to shuffle through the colors yet again. It’s different, that’s for sure. The “Reading Rainbow” song plays in my head when I look through the site.

You never cease to amaze me, Maura — always having an unplayed card with a fresh idea poked somewhere up your sleeve. Kudos.

Lovely and amazing. I especially like the changing photo tint touch.

Posted by emersongeek on 30 September 2004 @ 12pm

I ♥ you and the design. I have to play with it now.

Posted by Meredith on 30 September 2004 @ 1pm

It’s simplicity at it’s prettiest – great work!

(And thanks for the linkage!)

Everybody! Say it with me
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Stunning!

I do miss the big “N” but the new favicon makes up for it.

Posted by Thomas on 30 September 2004 @ 2pm

Good golly miss Maura! Love it!

Posted by Kayleigh on 30 September 2004 @ 3pm

One of the photos is the view from my apartment!!!! Sweet.

Posted by Elisha on 30 September 2004 @ 4pm

Woot! I love it!

Posted by Andi on 30 September 2004 @ 6pm

So fresh it should be slapped. I l love it! Is there anything you can’t do?

Posted by Kate on 30 September 2004 @ 8pm

while playing around with switching the colors from green, to purple, to red, i noticed that even the pictures change color according to which one i select.

this is by far the coolest layout to ever grace the web. all hail maura and scully and mulder! i knew they had a hand in the redesign ;)
