My new site layout

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: June 12th, 2008 | 0 Comments

Well as you can see i have recently changed the complete appearance of this website. I think that it was about time because everything kind of looked all over the place. This new theme (Wicketpixie) i have was created by Chris Pirillo and can be found here. This theme has everything in it, it allows all of my different accounts that i am signed up into to be all displayed on the one page, My Site!

When you get this theme it has all of Chris's content in it such as live video's and his Flickr and youtube account. It is a very easy process to change all this to your own content 

I have just recently signed up to Flickr and you can see all my pictures here.

There is one problem that everyone was having with this theme when it came out and that was that it would not display properly on Internet Explorer 7, like come on it works perfectly on every other browser such as firefox and safari. Considering that this theme is FREE to everyone, what you get is unbelievable. This theme could just have easily been made for purchase only!

Back to the problem with IE7 the reason it is not displaying properly is because this theme is still in development. This theme has been released early so that people can get the feel of it and if they like it they can donate for the further development of it.

I have made some CSS up to help fix the problem of the appearance of this blog in IE7, this CSS will align the navigation and search bar at top back to where they should be, the code is as follows:

#nav {

 

float:left;

position:absolute;

left:0%;

top:224px;

 

}

 

#topbar {

float:left;

position:absolute;

left:0%;

}

 

#mid {

padding: 30px 0 0 0;

 

}

 

 

You can just paste the above CSS code into the IE7.css file in the CSS folder of wicketpixe or download this file and replace it with the original.

New Apple iPhone 3G

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: June 9th, 2008 | 0 Comments

Its official Apple have just announced that on July 11th they will be releasing the new iPhone 3G. The amazing thing about this is that not just is there new features like 3G but the price has literally been slashed in half. You used to have to pay $399 (Approx €255)  for an 8gb iPhone and $499 (Approx €319) for a 16gb iPhone, but as of this July 11th you will now only have to pay $199 (Approx €127) for the 8gb iPhone 3G and $299 (Approx €191)  for the 16gb iPhone 3G.

The 8gb iPhone 3G will be available only in black however they will be releasing the 16gb iPhone 3g in black & white so there is more choice if you go for the 16gb. There is also a hint now that they will be releasing a new update for iTunes, this update will be version 7.7. This is required for the new iPhone 3G.

This new iPhone 3G was announced at the wddc 2008 today (June 8th 2008).

I think that when this new iPhone gets released i will definitely be buying it.

First Attempt At Logo Designing

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: June 5th, 2008 | 2 Comments

I spent some time yesterday trying to edit a logo for my new website, i did design a logo but it will not be the one that i will be using because i don't think it looks good enough.

As you can see i used the idea of the bubble from the youtube logo, but on youtube its red. I think that its not a bad attempt on designing my first logo but i will have to put more effort into the next one.
