Change site design

If you can read this note: it means that your browser does not support advanced CSS techniques, and that this page and feature will not work properly in your browser. If you want, you can upgrade to browsers which support advanced CSS techniques.

This feature allows you to choose the design (colors, font styles, and layout) that you would like to view this site in. Simply select any of the styles below. A cookie will then be placed on your machine so that your browser will always know which style you choose.

Notice: Due to the recent redesign of this site, this page no longer changes the design style of this Web site. However, I am keeping this page as it existed before the redesign. This way, you can still experience the depth of redesign options (and the power of CSS) that can be achieved on a Web site.

Color Style Notes

The following notes are for the asterisked (*) items:

• The background for “Christmas” was created using a free snowflake font from P22 type foundry.
• For the background image for “Halloween”, I used a Halloween pattern from PixelDécor.
• “Web Site Mimics” mimic the colors of other Web sites. Those Web sites are: A List Apart, Fathom5, Freespace - Volition BB, Kottke.org, Metafilter, and Zeldman.com.
• The color styles of “Hogwart’s Houses” are based on the colors of the four houses of Hogwarts from the “Harry Potter” book series.
  Disclaimer: This has been created by a fan of the “Harry Potter” books; is not affiliated with J.K. Rowling, any of the publishers of the books, nor with Warner Bros.; and is created with no infringement intended.
• The styles in the “W3C Core Styles” use the colors in each of their respective W3C Core Styles.
• For the “Monochromes” color styles I used Visibone’s ColorLab to select 6 variations of a color, and then I made four different styles with them.
