Happy Layout Fun Times

Posted in 3rd Style on April 3rd, 2008334 Comments »

I think the psuedo english title above pretty much says it all. We have spent weeks if not months thinking about how to take everything we loved about the mashed up, link filled, layout breaking, new user headache causing design that we loved so much and turn it into something simple yet effective.

Not just simple but something clean, easy to understand, easy to navigate and yes this new design at some point will even be variable width for all you wide screen resolution lovers. Our old layout was approximately 1 1/2 years old and we know we have outgrown it. We outgrew it over a year ago.  While the new design will look sterile at first glance, realize that it will have more added to it and that after a couple hours you will come to appreciate how easy it is on the eyes.

There are MANY tweaks and additions we will be making over the next week. I wouldn’t take a risk to put something up on my baby (FFR) that I didn’t fully believe in. I know where this design is going and I understand the other interesting additions that will also be showing up shortly.

By all means, leave us suggestions. We have built this community by listening to the community. I never miss a news post comment and still spend hours a day going through the forum.

P.S. Never EVER buy “Egg, Cheese & Biscuit” Combos (the snack cracker things). After eating these, I wanted to kill myself.

Cheers,
