To do list

Monday March 21, 2005

I am having such a fun time with my connection at the moment that when I will actually be able to get these things done remains to be seen. For some reason my browser(s) stall on some sites but not on others, unfortunately mine is one of them. I have had the phone line checked, the exchange has been checked, I even had the nice British Telecom man pop on to my site and see if it loaded up okay for him, all good. So it's a mystery.

Anyway, here's what I think is left to do, I have a couple of other things to think about that have been suggested via email (not listed here) but I am not 100% sure whether I will do all of them.

  • Sort out About & Contact.Done
  • Improve archives (sort by category as well, if possible).
  • Image based search button (maybe).
  • Fix IE5/Mac (possibly).
  • Sort out Kitchen section with own archives.
  • Sort out Side Salad with archiving.
  • Search results to have some sort of linkage to the archives.
  • Darken link colours slightly.Done
  • Gravatar backgrounds.
  • Sort out page foot.Done

If you can see anything else you think needs sorting (and please don't say compress the background image more) then please let me know.

    I also love the ‘hidden’ features; comment permalinks, search submit button…

    A really refreshing design. I was having a “writer’s block” on what to do for my own site design, but this site gave me some inpiration.

    Especially the background, so exotic and colourful!

    Have you tried emptying your cache? Are you using a local or transparent proxy? NAT? Is your ISP doing any mandatory caching and redirecting for you?

    The search and preview buttons :hover doesn’t change the mouse cursor into a hand, easy to-do with css cursor property :)

    John,
    The new layout kicks ass buddy. I really love the transparency and as mentioned above the “hidden” touches are great. Well done.

    Funny you should mention your connection hanging on some sites and not others. I have been having the same sort of problem as of late. My ISP can’t seem to find a problem though. Maybe it will work itself out.

    Oh, btw, congrats on being listed on Stylegala, CSSVault, and unmatched style. Very deserving.

    Ah To-do lists. There will always be more to do. Just when you think your satisfied with the design and structure, something else will start niggling at you. At least thats my experience.

    Seriously, Beautiful Re Design. I’m a big fan of the detail descripotion of your right side inks. NICE!

    What a beautiful illustration and layout you’ve got here. My eyes are all about the visual, and they are pleased.

    Love your work John.

    I’m not sure if it’s intentional or not but, if the latter, add one more thing to your to-do list: remove the constant blue border that frames the main content section. It can be seen just above the joshuaink.com logo….

    I’m glad to see fixing IE5 is on your list. If microsoft won’t, someone has to do it!

    abso-poso-tute-ly stunning job John. I’m awestruck :)

    Nice work, John! Denis has a real talent there. Very impressed.

    You may want to consider doing some sort of overflow control on comments though, because loooong comments (like this one) throw your beautiful design right off.

Christmas gifts?
