Redesigned - again

Yes, I have completely redesigned this site - again. I guess it was the spring air that made me do it. I wanted whiteness, spring colors and a fresh experience.

The layout is heavily designed towards a news magazine - rather than looking like just another blog. The size is almost the same as the previous layout, but the content area is 100px wider than before. This means larger images - or videos - as seen on this page.

There are still a few bugs I need to work out, but nothing serious.

I hope you like it - because I do.

I really like the new design, Thomas!! I have been looking at magazine like designs, and the CSS 3 multi-column module for some time. I am impressed with the way you have created multiple columns without the multi-column module! I will definitely be sneaking around in your code to figure out how you have done it. ;)

Thanks, and yes I am faking the columns. On the front page I got 3 DIV's each defining the size and position of each column. Each div is then filled with specific content - defined on the backend side.

The info box above column 2 and 3 is really just a div with white background with a fake lower border.

Each section page (front, articles, notes, reports, future, seach and about) may share a similar concept but uses different stylesheets. This way I was able to fine-tune the layout - with different types of content. More work, but better visual output.

Note: The CSS 3 multi-column is interesting - but with little general support at the moment.
