Random bob, You've changed!

Transformation
Yes, the look has changed once again. The sidebar is on the right now (I think for good), and the colors have shifted. Why?
Because random bob, a.r.c. is fickle, this is why. And also maybe someone mentioned to me that it looked a little “80’s-ish,”, which I didn’t so much mind, but they went on to say that with all the blue – especially the main shade used – it looked an awful lot like Windows, my mood changed.
Obviously, we can’t have that.
Other changes you may not notice at first
Aside from the new, cooler & cutting-edge color scheme, there are a few other changes.
I have recently posted a few updates to my “Mac Tips & Tricks” pages, both the Spaces article and a new Quick Tips article, both relating to 10.5 Leopard. I thought about it and decided that the newest articles should probably go to the top of the list, so that people checking in would have an easy time seeing if anything new had been posted.
This necessitated changing the organization of most of my current pages outside of the blog. Well, it really only necessitated the changing of the Articles Pages & the Mac Tips Pages, as I haven’t gotten to the Photo Pages yet. They’re big. I’m scared. ‘nuff said.
Other changes we can expect?
Not really. No. None that I can think of.
I had contemplated moving the menu system to a popup variety, meaning you could mouse over the links, see the submenus, and navigate straight to any page from any other page. If you have visited here since random bob’s inception, you might remember that I originally had it set up that way to begin with. However I changed that out for fear that less-savvy internet goers might not quite figure out how to get to the content they really need to get to, so I figured a more static, old-fashioned hierarchy system would be best.
And again I came to the same decision this time around. I thought about it, and as much as I personally like to be able to drill down to any page from any other page, I know what I’m doing and can get there anyway. It's the n00bs that need the help, right? So the menu system was kept simple for the needs of the simple, at the expense of the advanced.
6 of one half a dozen of the other, really. But hey. Enjoy the new colors & layout.
Peace.
