Mike, of Green-Beast fame, posted a Deck Your Blog! meme kind of thing, and I decided to participate. The changes to this blog are minimal, but I may consider keeping them, as I really like what I’ve changed (those orange navigation links were just starting to look horrible… more so than they were to begin with).
Here are some specific people I’d like to see make a Christmas-theme for their blogs, but anyone can (and hopefully will!) participate.
- Dave Brent (sorry, Dave, I know you’re busy, but please?)
- The Name’s Dan (because I know he has some interesting design skills and I want him to design something on his own, instead of borrowing everyone else’s themes).
- And anyone else on my blogroll…or even those that aren’t!
Check out what one of my readers did. A VERY cool effect. I’m impressed.

Eep! That’s one of those scripts from like DynamicDrive.com or somethin’, man. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that ain’t cool. (For one, I can’t read what’s on the page.)

Jona, I love it. Except… this is how it looks in Safari 2.0.2. Notice the top navigation and the shadow image on the sidebar. The same thing happens to the bottom right-hand corner of the main column.
I do like that pixel font, though. Is it Mini 7?

Jason, give me a Mac and I’ll fix it. ;)
The pixel font I used is called “Silkscreen.” You can get it off kottke.org.

I like, I really do.

Huh… well, I don’t really get it either.

Well, I plan on releasing my Christmas theme for my new design shortly after the new design is up.

Nice look Jona. I still think the snow flakes were a cool effect. I releaize it’s not the best design from many standpoints, but I still got wow’d by it. :)

Perhaps, if I find some time, I’ll see what I can do :)

Thanks, Daniel!

Jona, I have been absolutely flogged with work this Christmas so rather than providing an Xmas theme - I would love to - how about I just work on getting a real design up as soon as possible? ;-)
December 8th, 2005 at 5:58 pm
Very well, then. Just let this post be another reason for you to get a real design up.

I decked mine out for xmas, with a naughty kinda feel. Check it out here: Monkeypup.org

I finally got around to decking the community site that I administer. Check it out here.

Mike, it looks nice, but the leaves seem to cover up some of your content.
Monkeypup, nice theme. ;)

Thanks, Jona. Really, it makes the site look dirtier than it is. Of course, the “putting the x in xmas” tag doesn’t help. But, I just can’t resist a cute gal in a santa hat. Sue me.
:)
