What Was She Thinking?!

Someone hold my drink while I climb down off my soapbox.

Bare Naked Lady

No, it's not CSS Naked Day. The Opera servers are having fits again and somehow my stylesheet has been hosed. So, for awhile at least, you've all been spared the retina-burning hot pink and black design that was here just moments ago.

Think Pink

Sunday, 1. October 2006, 05:53:53

, , ,

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and in addition to participating in the Fifth Annual Boobiethon, I've decided to jazz up the place with some seizure inducing shades of pink, my favorite of which is Pepto-Bismol! Be sure to visit the Boobiethon site so you can ogle you some breastesses. And I've hounded and harangued some of my male friends and cohorts into submitting their chest shots too. So go peek.

P.S. Don't worry, this theme will be up for the duration of the Boobiethon (one week), and then it's back to baby puke green and pears, until the end of the month, when you can become bewitched (or nauseated) by my Halloween skin. Because nothing says Dark Master quite like black and red. You've been warned.

Babies?

Friday, 14. April 2006, 20:46:04

Did babies puke (or poop) all over this blog? Did I get that shade of baby poop green down pat, folks? Let me know if there is anything unreadable here; this design was (lazily) based off my default (seizure-inducing) "Bad Self" design. Fortunately for your retinas and nervous systems, it won't be up past Monday or so! The banner image is from iStockPhoto.com, the font is True Type Astaire, and the tiled background is hand-rolled by yours truly.

Banners

As you notice, I am swapping out the series of banners I created for Fred's brand spanking new design. They are free for your use. Just head on over to my Photo Album and choose one, more or all. You can play around with the font family, size and color as I did on this banner to get different effects for your title and tagline.

Shedding Its Skin...

Wednesday, 15. February 2006, 03:47:15

Excuse me while I go slip into something more comfortable. Valentine's Day is just about over now and I'm going to revert back to my original "Bad Self" design with its seizure-inducing color palette!

You didn't really think I could keep my cotton-picking fingers off my stylesheet, did you? {{snort}}

This design will be up until the day after Valentine's Day or until I get sick and tired of it, whichever comes later. The banner font is True Type Hearts-BRK and the tiled background is from CitrusMoon.

About the Design: Bad Self

Monday, 26. December 2005, 01:13:04

The retina-burning, seizure-inducing design you see now I call "Bad Self." (Read the banner, it will make more sense then.) The banner fonts are True Type Pizzicato Swash and good old Times New Roman Italic, respectively. The divider image was created from dingbat font Botanical. The banner graphic is from iStockPhoto.com. Because of their restrictions on using images for web templates, this design cannot be offered as an Opera theme. Hate them for it, not me!
