worked up for me. Pretty sexy, eh? I love those clocks!
Don't worry, Rob. I saved everything before I started mucking about.

Love the clocks in the posts, very snazzy. They remind me of clocks.

In Firebird .7, clicking on the Comments link opens a new window like normal, but also changes the base screen to the same comments content.

MojoMark - weird, it's the same in Mozilla 1.6.
Not sure why; I took a quick look at the HTML and it looks right to me.

there is a line break between the "return" and the "false" on the comments onClick event. seems to interpret it poorly. see trackback, it works fine.

Wow, pretty embarrassing for the QA guy, eh?
That was it, Mark. All fixed now, folks.
My thanks and 2 points to MojoMark!

I wanted the blue and orange one! Can't you make it a skin?

Skins are the plan but that's beyond my meager abilities. Black & White had the hover fix for the collapsable lists already in the stylesheet so I went with that one.

Very nice work! The clocks in the blog body look terrific.

Don't forget to set your background colour ;-)
body{
line-height: 1;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
background-color: white;
}

I love it. Well done. One tiny criticsm, and please don't be angry-the text is awfully narrow and in a small font. Me have headache from tiny text. Me also have hangover, so possibly the two are related.

God lord ... I'm out of it for a little while and every ones getting delusions of grandeur.
Jim, there are templates worked up for the comment pages which apply the styling but there's the whole blog.mu.nu issue to work round (that ones been givin me big ole headaches recently)
There's also the 3rd design and the skinable script which is ready to roll out but I'm just not sure how to mod it to work with the other mu.nu blogs ... plus I'll need FTP access to do it properly (well quickly).
I'll send you an email tomorrow when I'm not covered in paint (long story) and have a desk (equally long story)

oh and helen - I'm working on a spacing fix for the text - you're right, probably too tight!

All this ticking. First Helen with her Keifer Sutherland, now this! Tic, toc, tic, toc...

That's right. Kiefer and I started all of this. That's for sure.

Cool look, but I miss the simplicity of the old design. I'll be happy, though, as long as the cow picture is somewhere. WHERE'D YOU PUT THE COW PICTURE?!

About time. looks good.

The cow has been recovered. It's linked in the "about me" section of the sidebar.

Since you asked...
The line spacing makes it a bit difficult to read anything longer than three or four sentences. [check the line spacing in the comments]
This is just a personal preference, but I think that a sans serif font is a little easier to read. [again, check the font in the comments]
A nice roll-down script for your comments and extended entries would be a nice addition to make it a more reader-friendly site. I just hate waiting for the comment box to open, open a new window that I will have to close, switching back and forth between another window, etc.
Other than that a very nice design... kudos to Mr Rob!
