Let Them Eat Cake

9/21/08: This is one of my favorite layouts I’ve ever made.

After realizing that the current layout has been up for a while with no actual entry about it yet, here I am. Let Them Eat Cake just started out as an experiment (meaning that the layout will be up for a while). It originally began as an experiment revolving around dynamic/conditional sidebars, because I despise widgets. It grew into a more pages, better organization, and incredibly neat little features.

The new pages that I added were: movies (I watch a bunch), Contact Form (I didn’t have one before), and Links (apparently I didn’t have a link list either).

The organization started at the root of the sidebar, and ended up tidying up my CSS (today). The sidebar features sub-pages, additional links, related posts, a no submit button search button, and a category list. If you notice I decorated my blockquote tags, and I’m using unordered lists more often. I also used Jordan’s installed CSSTidy (lol).

The little features I incorporated were: Custom Error Pages from Andrew Ferguson, an easier way to subscribe to my feed, and a credit section.

    It looks lovely! The header makes me want chocolate frosting (which isn’t a good thing, actually, since I am allergic to chocolate, but I love it anyway!).

    Aisling: Now that is an example of strong will. :)

    I am very fond of it. I love the header quite a bit; it’s very cute. The only thing that irks me a tiny bit is the tiny font. (Ha, how’s that for a bad pun?) May I suggest a slight increase?

    I think I commented a little about this layout before, and I do love it. The colour scheme is wonderful and the setup is quite nice :)
    I was wondering if the ribbon thing (or whatever it is) beside the site name in the header has any meaning? Is it supposed to be anything other than a cool shape?

    As I said before, I still think there is too much empty brown space in the header, bellow the site title and navigation bar.

    And as Ramsha mentioned, a bigger font size would be appreciated.

    I like the layout. I wish I was motivated enough to make a layout myself.
