Earlier today, I decided that the site needed a more modern look (did someone shout web 2.0?) so I spent a few hours designing a new masthead and re-vamping the CSS. The result is what you are looking at now, just uploaded. I call it Elegant002.
I think it looks pretty cool! What do you think?
For the curious, I created the graphics in Photoshop CS2, and used my universal 3 column template creation as the backbone for the ASCX file, which was edited in MS Visual Studio 2005. This is a great piece of software! The CSS was also tweaked in Visual Studio, with Firebug (a rather nifty Firefox plug-in) helping me track down any errors.
A good few hours work, for sure, but I think the new look should serve the site well a for the next few months of supporting the new CD (when it eventually gets here!).
