The Upgrade is Complete
Published: October 20th, 2007After three long months of hard-work, and a hour of upgrading, the new danielfischer.com is up!
Whew, that didn’t go too bad! I had a little scare when I was uploading the new site, but luckily I fixed it with my uber skills.
So, here’s the new site, hopefully everyone enjoys it. There’s one catch, I am not supporting IE 61 at all. I actually did do some fixes for IE 72 and I’m surprised it only took about five minutes to do. A long the way I may add in some fixes for people visiting the site in IE 6, but don’t count on it any time soon. Besides, anyone who uses IE 6 is not my target audience for the blog, so I consider it to be okay.
How do you like the new blog’s look? How do you feel about not caring about IE 6 users?
Stumbled upon your blog reading about StaticMatic. Love the look, it’s so fresh!
Not caring about IE6 is OK since this is a developer blog.
Haha, thanks for finding the look fresh, I really appreciate it. Yeah, I hear you about the not caring thing… I actually spent a couple hours tune-tuning some things to attempt to make it look good in IE, the only thing I can’t figure out is the left_shadow on the content containers (like this one).
Love the color scheme especially, I’m partial to green ;). I’d be proud if my blog looked like that. Home-grown Rails blog I assume?
Oh and, what’s with the fish bones? Any story there?
Hehe, thanks for the compliment!
The fish bones is just my little logo I suppose! I’ve been trying to brand it with my name for a year or so. Now I wish it were a more interesting story… maybe I should make one up, ha.
Ready. Set. Go.
In terms of the formatting, you're allowed to use markdown, textile, or basic html; it's truly up to you -- what strikes your fancy?
You don't have to worry about your e-mail address being sold to a russian-spam-mafia. I'm only going to use it for my own weird needs; like asking you out for a date on a lonely night of coding.
