MossCat.com Redesign
Just launched a redesign of my wife and I’s personal blog and photo site. You can read about some of the motivation on the MossCat Reborn post over on mosscat.com.
The work involved was a new page design and creation of a Wordpress theme from that design. I made use of the Tan Tan Flickr Photo Album plugin to incorporate our flickr photos. I’m very pleased with how it turned out.
The only casualty along the way was IE6 due to the png alpha used in the background images. There is a nice article on 24Ways.org discussing the issue. I gave the SuperSleight solution a try, but it didn’t work very well, plus I also feel that it is somewhat my duty to help the web move forward by doing my part to let IE6 die, so I’m content with the page looking like garbage on IE6.
The design utilizes YUI Grids CSS for the layout and YUI Base CSS for the style foundation. I investigated a number of other css frameworks that are currently out there such as BluePrint and 960 GS since I’ve used YUI in the past and wanted to see what else there was. There is a lot of great choices out there, and all have a little somthing to offer, but ultimately I came back to YUI CSS because I preferred its documentation, flexibility, and capabilities over the other options I found.
