return to pearse

Although Tom commented favourably on the site’s design on this post, I’ve been getting kinda bored with it. So I’ve thought up something else:

You can get a closer look here, but be warned: if you’re not using Firefox, it mightn’t be worth it. I’m just looking at design & layout, I haven’t attempted to make it work in multiple browsers, or apply it to WordPress yet.

Anyway, see anything you don’t like? Anything you really like? Gimme a comment.

UPDATE: I submitted the mockup to BrowserShots, so you can see what it looks like in various browsers as the results come in

This photo won this competition.

Well, sorta. As Caitriona explains here, she had a hard time picking a winner, so she decided to give two prizes (generous her).
Congrats to my fellow winner McAWilliams (I’ve just realised I haven’t added a link to him in the sidebar though I’ve been a viewer/reader(?) of his photoblog for a while now - Soon to be rectified).

Anyway, while trying not to ramble (I haven’t even prepared a speech), I’ll just say:

• Thanks to Caitriona for the competition (and particularly the prize: something I’d been interested in, but hadn’t worked up the nerve to buy.)
• Well done to the other entrants for their beautiful work, and comiserations to redmum, who unfortunately missed the deadline.
• Thanks also to Absolut, who asked Caitriona to run the competition and donated the prizes. (Similar competitions were run on other photoblogs, and they ran a website with entries and stuff)

Welcome to returntopearse, my new blog.

I’m still putting the finishing touches to some stuff. Once I add a few more posts, you’ll be able to click words or photos up above and see posts of that type, or search (to the right there) or whatever.

In the meantime, why not look at the links up top (see what it’s all about, come visit me elsewhere on the web, and don’t forget to subscribe).
