no1_antielitist
Works best in 1024, but should also look ok in 800 and 1280. Works best in Mozilla, but also shows up alright in IE and Safari.
Notes: The layout itself is a heavily s2 & css coded flexiblesquares template. Credit goes to famfamfam for the tiny usericons.

It's amazing and I love it. I think the only thing I could pick at are the way your entry links are set up. The icons are cute, but it looks like they should all be side by side instead of below each other. If that makes sense. Everything else I love.

Thank you so much for the concrit! I definitely see what you're saying about the entry icons. I may think about changing them later on, but the primary reason I coded them to each be on a separate line was to keep with the whole "try not to look like an lj layout" theme. If you've noticed, almost all of the templates LJ gives us keep the comment bar (entry icons) on the same line. I had hoped that by breaking each action to a new line, I could give each individual entry a little bit of an isolated feel - as if each entry has a whole footer of its own. I guess it may not have worked as well as I hoped, but I'll just end up trying something new next time I work on one. :) Again, thank you so much for the critique!

I would agree that the comment links have a lot of empty space around them, and that they'd look better in a line.

Otherwise, it's definatly a clean, fresh layout. Soundly coded and all that. It's not my style, really, but I can't fault anything about it. Good job.

Same thing about the comments for me. I'm also not sure I really like the links lined up across the top, they look a little out of place for me. Oh and it irks me a bit when moodthemes that isn't a bit deal.

I love the cloud theme. :D

*moodthemes don't match
*isn't a big deal

-_-; Man I need to pay more attention when I type.

Re: 9 no1_antielitist June 19 2006, 21:56:48 UTC

So true that the moodtheme doesn't match the layout, but I'm a big Doctor Who fan, so I chose fandom over design for once. :)

Thank you for the concrit! <3

Re: 9 theonlykow June 19 2006, 23:00:20 UTC

I would recommend making a new moodtheme set that incorporates both, you know? Why not make a Doctor Who theme that uses the colors of the layout more?

Wow, this is beautiful. I love how light and pretty it is.

9 simpleinthemoon June 21 2006, 21:02:51 UTC

Love it + I agree with the weird comment link thing.

By the way ... what font did you use for "cloud delusions" in the header?

9 profoundity July 4 2006, 13:07:08 UTC

>.< AHHHH! So pretty! *pets teh prettiness*

I never really noticed the Doctor Who moodicons...until now. I'm not really a fan of the comment links - like the fade-to-gray background that you used, yet am not a fan of the fact that the links go down instead of across.

But the layout is still beautiful and you did a great job :P

Final Grade: 9.

Yea...I am so boring ^^
