...Did you bring your coat? And happy holidays to those how are on holidays.

Are you shocked and surprised and in awe? I bet you probably thought this place was dead? Nope I have been working months on this new layout and cleaning the place up to make it more organized and fresh. I'm going to briefly talk about the new layout, what's new, what's been cleaned up and some new updates and I'm also keen now on new affiliates. Interested? Then read the full update article to find out more..

This new layout may look a bit like every other site out there, but it's all new territory for me. I haven't done a pure div/css based before and after reading this tutorial and following up on other small css tutorials I have develop a better understanding of css scripts, classes, ids etc so I feel more confident of my coding. I know now how to code "neater" to be exact and thus this whole place has majorly been tidied up.

The inspiration for this layout come from a whole heap of different sources. First of all the basic colour scheme of Red and Blue from the 2007 film of Sweeney Todd. I never use to like red and blue together but now it's become my favourite colour scheme. Other inspirations from from Evernight (a classmate at Tafe's wonderful site) Day Dream Graphics & Chanlu. Though since then Day Dream Graphics have changed their layout again and it makes me want to change this now. But at lease this is a start on the right path. I'm also proud to have this whole place HTML and CSS Valid. My old layout had way over 100 errors (and I still think the whole validating thing is stupid) but now I've managed properly clean it all up. I've also learnt more about coding from that alone. I'm also pleased that I managed to make Cutenews valid somehow - so many errors were caused by that alone.
