Australia Day & Blog Question


It's Australia Day (for some reason Australian's celebrate not being independent from England but separate; how nice. I want Earth day where Earth celebrates its union with that yellow star we call our sun). This is a great excuse for a BBQ which means I'll be busy today. Maybe those guest authors will post stuff but who knows =P.

Anyway another quick potential blog update. I've gotten rid of pretty much everything no one wants and think the general layout is quite good for now, particularly since one can see the most recent post without scrolling. Go me. One suggestion was brought up relating to the column placement however. Personally I like it on the left and think two columns would look too cramped and on the right would look funny but I think that's because I'm used to having it on the left. So over on the trial blog I've moved the column to the right: check it out.

Which do you prefer? And any more suggestions, etc.? Still working on pricing for 3++ merchandise. Not sure if I'll setup an actual store but will see if the painters are up for commissions and will probably do maybe quarterly 'orders' where I create a page for a bunch of people to order stuff and am able to therefore bulk buy without having a bunch of stock hanging around. Thoughts on this? First port of call would obviously be dice (500+ and I can get them as cheap as 42c + S&H) and perhaps t-shirts? Tape measures are also an option as are dice bags, could try and work something out for carry cases (or just stickers to put on your carry cases?) and that's all I've looked at so far.

P.S. Wayland is having a sale currently and you can get an extra 6% off their prices for any orders 50 pounds or greater. Type WAYTOGO in the discount code box during checkout and boom, 6% off.

I like the new style... About the side bars: Right now I have to scroll al the way down to see stuff like recommended and followers. Maybe you could cut that long side bar into two side bars. One left, one right. It would also provide more space for potential advertisers to place banners ;)

It's odd, but as soon as you mentioned shifting things around I thought: hmmm, I don't think I'll like that. But then I headed over to the test blog, and you know - I think it actually scans better, visually, having the blogroll and post list on the right hand side.

Just my two quanta of your choice of small currency units...
I think the column works well on the left. It's still staggeringly long but there isn't much you can do about that with as much content as you have, save trying to shrink font size and double some stuff up.

Also, the page definitely loads faster now so cheers for that.
Would the dice just be regular d6, but with a 3++ instead of the 3? And pink, of course? I'd buy a set.

Pretty much.
Can there be a little VT next to the 2 on the official 3++ dice?
I actually prefer the bar on the right, because then I don't have to scroll across to the right to read the actual blog content.
Rightie doesn't seem right.
