BREAK OUT THE CHAMPAGNE!
Do I hear a drumroll? It's official ribbon-cutting time...... So, a warm, brand new WELCOME to all, here at the newly redesigned Classical Values! I hope everyone likes the blog's new layout and graphics. While I very much liked the old one, it's been a year and I thought it was time for a "facelift." My deepest thanks to Sekimori's brilliant designer Robyn L. Pollman, (whose portfolio can be seen here). Robyn has worked with me for weeks on this, and deserves a medal for putting up with my neurotic demands. Last but not least, I want to thank you, all my readers, for continuing to inspire me to do this. (And Robyn, now it's time for your victory dance!) UPDATE: Out of deference to President Reagan's funeral, I'm post-dating (?) this post to Saturday, June 12. The champagne will have to wait till after the funeral. But remember, life goes on. On a rainy day like this, I wish I could fly to sunny California, of which Ronald Reagan said, If the Pilgrims had landed in California, the East Coast would still be a wilderness. posted by Eric on 06.12.04 at 09:51 AM

» Spiffy from Banana Oil!
Eric Scheie of Classical Values has just put up his new site design, and we here at Banana Oil approve it. It's both more elegant, and less brown. Though we must agree with the commenter who spotted the removal of "nekkidness" from the painting-... [Read More] Tracked on June 11, 2004 09:08 PM

Very elegant. I like it. Rue · June 11, 2004 11:26 AM Did you direct Robyn to airbrush the nekkidness from 'Daybreak'? Not very Classical of you, Eric. ;-) Maxfield Parish · June 11, 2004 06:32 PM Good eye! :-) I pitched him several versions of it (after he requested it be used), and ultimately he went with the female-free one. robyn · June 11, 2004 07:39 PM Very, very nice. Solomon · June 11, 2004 09:53 PM Very easy on the eyes, I like it. Now you just need to come up with a new poll. I mean, come on, how long has that favorite scandal bit been up! Actually, I'm just bitter because the ABC Affair wasn't one of the choices, though that wasn't strictly speaking a "scandal." Beck · June 11, 2004 10:26 PM Yes. It does look crisper and cleaner. Other things... I noticed that you have your sidebar and blogroll on the right now, whereas before you had it on the left. My sidebar/blogroll is on the right, too, and I have often contemplated the spectrumological implications of that. I took a look at other blogs on my blogroll to see on which side they had their blogrolls/sidebars. Here's what I found: Rachel Lucas - right Hmmm.... Steven Malcolm Anderson the Lesbian-worshipping gun-loving selfish aesthete · June 11, 2004 11:02 PM Thanks for the comments, and advice! Steven, your analysis fascinates as usual. Not sure if I know left from right anymore! The Parrish ended up just being background instead of theme. If enough people complain, I suppose I could ask Robyn to stick the girls back in, but then what is Antinous doing in the foreground, and why have the colors changed? I didn't want to force a theme on people, and it looked pretty busy, and overly manipulative. It's a design at this point; not a Parrish print. Eric Scheie · June 11, 2004 11:34 PM Gorgeous. Ghost of a flea · June 12, 2004 12:20 PM Very nice. I like the new title area much better than before. Looks much more crisp and professional. Much better than mine, damn it. John Jenkins · June 12, 2004 01:49 PM Looks good! Nice job! Jim Lynch · June 12, 2004 10:11 PM I like that I can now right-click on a lick and choose to open it in a new window. Allan Beatty · June 14, 2004 09:00 PM Excellent redesign. I never cared for the layout or look of old site (though I loved the content). My apologies for not noticing sooner. So many weblogs, so little time. Alan Sullivan · June 23, 2004 07:35 PM |
