Single chart reviews 1988 back online / Which year to review next time?

september 3, 2010 | Leave a comment

1) Because of technical reasons, the 1988 reviews were gone for some days. I made some changes, saved the page, and… there was nothing left.

Thank God there’s something like the Google cache. With a little help from this cache the reviews are put back online.

2) I don’t have any idea yet which year to review next Sunday. Can be any decade but the sixties (last week I reviewed 1965).

Please, help me out. Submit a reaction, or fill in the ‘question’ form in the right sidebar.

New site design

september 1, 2010 | Leave a comment

Due to technical issues, I decided to make use a of new Wordpress theme. Before, I made use of Dreamplace. The new theme is Blue Zinfandel, originally made by Brian Gardner – technically – and totally redesigned by me. The original version of the theme was as stripped down as a design can be, like an empty painting canvas, so there was much room to leave my own mark on it. No surplus gear.

What was going on before?

Some months ago, I changed the site from a 2 column site (in fact, the Dreamplace theme was a 2 column theme) into a 3 column site, and added also a couple of horizontal bars on top. But the way it was done was quite… primitive. With lots of tables (very oldschool in 2010). It wasn’t really visible from the outside, but in fact, it felt like the site was held together by lots of ducktape. The result: I got stuck.

The new design will be finetuned in the future.
