Redesign, Realign, whatever.
written by Stuart on January 9th, 2006
That’s right, 36 degrees design has changed clothes. Call a redesign, realign, whatever you like. The site has had a complete overhaul and I’m still putting the finishing touches to it. I’ve also moved over to wordpress from the system I have been fighting with for a couple of years.
Feature-wise, the site hasn’t changed much, same old content, with a pretty new look. The design is a natural progression and maturing of the previous incarnation, the colours and imagery have become such an integral part of the site, anything else just wouldn’t work.
You might notice some fancy-pants javascript effects here and there, which as much as anything else were an educative process as-well as a space saving exercise. You may also notice the use of alpha transparent PNG’s, and take in a sharp breath when you see the site in Internet Explorer. However, support for IE is on the way, as well as some accessibility improvements over the coming weeks.
Moving over from my old system, the process of transferring content was laborious to say the least, so not everything is here yet, though again, over time I will get everything moved across.
The last design lasted over six months, and a change was well due. I feel that with this design I have finally got something here that I can be completely happy with. Adding that to the stability of wordpress should mean plain sailing for the foreseeable future!
Anyway, it is almost 4am, and I need to sleep. I look forward to reading your comments.

Browsing through my webstat application this evening, and found this:
My site ranks 9th on google for that phrase. Maybe the searcher would have found what they were looking for if they had tried the happiest man in the UK, or Great Britain or whatever. More gems from the recent search phrases include “How do I Kill myself”, “Japans number one design agency”, and a whole gaggle of people looking for “Teen lesbians” sorry folks, none of that stuff here.
Sigur Ros in Liverpool
written by Stuart on November 14th, 2005
Last night was the sigur ros gig in Liverpool. I managed to get a ticket, and proceeded to see what was quite possibly the best gig I’ve ever seen. Running a music website, I used to go to a fair few gigs, and man, did I see some great shows, but last night, there saw just something special about sigur ros live. …Read On
