Tomorrow I start work. That will be… interesting.
There is a new layout up, obviously. Featuring a MONSTER!! But don’t be scared, he’s a nice monster. And he parles francais!
It’s VERY blue. I know. I don’t use blue often. It’s weird.
About this layout: The current default layout is called “Ah! C’est un monstre!†It came about when I was… sitting around doodling. I doodled my lovely little monster friend on a scrap piece of paper with a Sharpie that gave me a bit of a headache. Then, I scanned my little friend, and started playing with him. Somehow, what you are seeing just… happened. It’s a pretty simple layout. A bit of an overload of blue. I enjoy blue, but it’s certainly not my favourite colour. It seemed to match my mood, though, and therefore, the mood of Monsieur Monstre.
…
Can you tell I am trying to make this entry seem longer?
That’s because I have nothing to say.
I hope tomorrow will be a bit more interesting!
Edit: I know the footer looks, like, “doubleyouteeeff,” but I will work on it! Ha ha.
I love the “*rawr*” in the corner! That’s such a nice detail. It’s so cute! You have nice handwriting and doodling skills. *steals your skills* This layout is a little blue for my tastes, but I still like it.
French monsters for the win! Wait, is he French French or French Canadian? It’d be better if he was the latter because they’re sekritly cooler.
I like the blue, but it’s strange seeing such a subdued colour as at Aisling-created website. :P
That monster is totally adorable *cuddles*
Wow you turned a doodle into THAT? I’m seriously envious, though I have to admit that I can sometimes manage to blurt out something artistically pleasing. It looks very… fleshed out (3D-ish).
*applauds*
Wow! This is the first time I’ve visited your website, and I’m very impressed! I’m a sucker for the color blue and cute monsters, so that might be a part of it.
My only complaint (not that it’s really a complaint, just something I noticed) is that the part where the image of the monster ends doesn’t match up with the background. It’s not noticeable on short pages, but on longer pages (like this one), you can see it.
You do change layouts like a fickle little thing, but I can’t complain because I love this one! It’s so adorable! I love the little hover on the title too!
Plz2change the footer though. And…your background pattern seems to repeat strangely.
What a cute monster. Adorable
I have a horizontal scrollbar though, and the black background in your navigation just ends when I scroll to the right. I’m using a resolution of 1680 pixel.
I’m using 800×600 atm, and I’m very sad because I can’t see the whole thing at the one time.
On the bright side, j’aime bien le monstre! Il s’appelle comment?
Oh un monstre tout mignon! Est-ce qu’il mord?
What fonts did you use? I love them! Very well done - a little bit too blue maybe but the monster is very cute
Ouuu, I love it! The monstre is great
Hovering over your name is cool, too.
The only weird things are the oddly repeating background and, I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but it seems the comment backgrounds are overly saturated.
Good luck with work, which I think you are going through right now!
I agree with everything Kaylee just said. The comment backgrounds hurt my eyes.
But other than that, le monstre is so adorable! Plus hovering over the title is maybe a bit TOO fun. *hovers again*
Ooh, it’s REALLY blue! But that’s cool because blue is my favorite color, haha. Your monster is mignon! (Does that mean “cute”? I don’t parle francais. :P)
Ooh, Aisling, I like this layout! Was the monster inspired by Rachael?
I get a horizontal scrollbar too, though.
Awww, it’s adorable! And the fact that it speaks French makes it so much more awesome!
Ahh! How cute! I love all the french! C’est super
Especially the *manges* in the comments
Adorable!
I really like everything you’ve done here. Navigation rollovers FTW
Manges
I just noticed the neatest little feature ever *points at the little monster that says ‘feed me’ and directs you to your feed*. That’s very cute.
Your new layout is really cool. Your monster is just adorable.
I really love the footer too. The search box and link to your feed are cute and clever.
