Anniversary realignment

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

In the spirit of realignment I present tinymac 2.1! (edited 14/12/2006: irama 2.1 now :) )

This new design celebrates one year of tinymac.com and subtly reflects other personal developments.

The realignment boasts refined graphic elements, a better utilisation of space (at the expense of copious amounts of whitespace :( ) and better support for printing and handheld browsers.

The other noteworthy attribute of this layout is that it plays well with IE (6 and 7). The old layout broke in IE 6 and I told myself I wouldn’t stoop so low as to fix it… What can I say? I caved. I was re-coding it anyway, and it didn’t seem like that much extra effort to get it to work in IE 6 also

More than meets the eye

I have just finished my article on the transformer layout.

I came up with the idea for this very flexible layout while redesigning the netpotential website

This layout supports low screen resolutions and handheld devices but also transforms to utilise more horizontal space when it is available on higher resolution displays.

The layout is based on standards compliant XHTML and CSS and will display correctly in modern browsers.

One year on

Today is the one year anniversary of tinymac.com!

I haven’t really posted a lot in the last twelve months, but I like to think that there were one or two interesting posts or articles.

To celebrate the one year aniversary I am finally activating “pretty URLs” (Yay for apache mod_rewrite).

I hope to post more interesting articles over the next twelve months, and in that vein, I am starting with an article about a new layout idea, the transformer layout.
