PSA: I have just changed the theme on my blog. I have tested the regular site on a Lubuntu/Chrome laptop and the mobile site on an Android/Chrome tablet. If it is hideously ugly or otherwise unusable on any other platform, drop me a comment and I'll fix it. All the sidebar stuff, like the Twitter feed and the Patreon link and all that, is now under the droid-style menu (the block of three horizontal lines in the upper left) in the header.
About a week ago, I crewed a show at the studio theater for a non-profit outfit up from New York. The guys who run it are friends of our executive artistic director, and they come up two or three times a year. I like them; I dealt with them a bunch when I was at the box office, because when you're the most experienced person they have around they hand you all of the EAD's friends, and I have an unofficial standing request to work their shows even when I'm not the only crew who is both in town and not drowning in finals. One of the guys, as it turns out, is laid up with an injury right now, so the other one had to fly solo, on top of performing in the show. I ran into him coming down the stairs as I was going up, and as soon as he saw me he just lit up like, oh, it's you! How are you are you working are you going to be my box office again! I told him I'd swapped over to doing tech and he asked if I was disappointed that I didn't get to dress up anymore. I
I like it. Feels Deep Space Nine-y. I also like the Times New Roman we get for comments.
ReplyDeleteI'm on a laptop and this isn't ideal. It works just fine but for text posts it only shows "Posted by Arabella Flynn March 20, 2017" on the front page without any preview of the content. So if you have more text posts in a row like your sometimes do readers might miss some because they all look the same. Also, I have to click on the date in that title, if I click on "posted by" nothing happens and your name goes to G+ which is annoying.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind me critisizing it. It's your blog, do what you like with it, I'll adapt :) And I do think it's pretty.
I agree with anon -- if there's a way you could get a preview snippet of the entries to show on the main page that would be super helpful. Aesthetically though I like it a lot!
DeleteI'm going to say tentatively that yes, I can change those things, but I have to dick around with the CSS to do it. Blogger does let you go digging in the code, but I don't have time right this very minute. It's an excellent note, but probably isn't getting fixed until Friday or so.
