Sooner rather than later, I’m going to be changing over to a new look for Running After My Hat. The changes will possibly be quite startling, and I don’t expect the dust to settle for a while; raggedy loose ends will probably be hanging out here and there for a while.
The last time I changed the look was August, 2011. Here’s how a test page from back then looks (for now!) with the proposed new theme — click to enlarge:
The theme currently in use here, as of this moment, is just a temporary stopgap — meant as an emergency fix to some problems introduced a couple weeks ago. Among other issues, this current theme is trimming on the right any images wider than 575 or so pixels, which is why the screen capture above looks abruptly chopped off. (If you click it to enlarge it, you’ll see the full width.)
By contrast, here’s how a post from a few days before the last change looked:
And finally, here’s how that same “Long, Languorous Tomorrows” post looked before I changed to the theme you’re currently seeing — this is the “look” most RAMH old-timers are most familiar with:
Obviously, the differences are many. And again, the new look is not “final.” (For one thing, I hope to return the “Hats Recently Chased” list of recent posts to the right-hand sidebar, along with the categories list and maybe — maybe — a calendar. Right now the recent posts and categories are all crowded together in the page footer.) I will be trying to retain the color scheme and some other elements which I (even if you) have gotten used to. I want people to continue to know they’re at Running After My Hat, and not lost.
Still, I wanted to give you a heads-up. Feedback, as always, greatly appreciated. Thanks!
