Well, I’ve been meaning to do it for a while, but I finally have a new theme for PharmCountry. It’s a heavily modified version of Festival by dirflux.com. The title graphic is just the old one except on black instead of white. (The procedure used to change the colors made the pill logo look really cool, didn’t it?)
I added a reflection to the header because that sort of thing seems to be in nowadays (and I thought the header looked to short without it.)
So, do you like it? hate it? don’t care? Post a comment.
More real posts to come tonight after work (hopefully.)
I don’t usually like white text on black, but this works and my eyes don’t get wiggly reading it. I’m not crazy about the reflecting part of the title, but it looks great otherwise.
I usually read on bloglines, so it doesn’t matter too much to me what you do!
Now, I’m hoping my comment doesn’t get eaten like it did the first time when I couldn’t decipher the word verification code. Sigh. (Nope, got ate a few more times.)
I think the word verification doesn’t like firefox.
I miss the glowy bit behind the “C”
Jamy: Thanks for letting me know about Firfox and the captcha. It’s worked for me, but I’m trying to get another captcha that looks better and will hopefully be more compatible. I’m glad you like the new design.
Bill: Yeah, I couldn’t figure out how to make that look good on black.
As someone (in Jamaica btw) who just found your site last week honestly I don’t even remember what it looked like but this works for me
The glowy pills look cute (radioactive – but cute) lol
I’d just like to take this opportunity also to tell you that as a Pharmacist I can relate to your blog and it’s amazing to me considering one would think my Jamaican experiences would differ greatly from yours – THEY DON’T!! The stories especially about your patients crack me up. One especially about the persnickety doctor had me thinking “when did Dr. X move to America?!” (There are 2 rxists where I work and sometimes we do rock,paper,scissors to decide which one of us should call her about a rx
Since I discovered your blog I read all your archives in one day and bookmarked you on my toolbar so I can check back regularly
Keep up the good work!
ps that word verification thing reeaallyy don’t like Firefox
(gonna go switch over to IE to post this)
Nikki: Thanks so much for your comments. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from other pharmacy bloggers, it’s that the problems we face are the same no matter where you live. (check out some of the pharmacy blogs on my blogroll; many of them are from the UK,)
testing captcha.
Hmm, turns out it was the “AJAX comments” plugin that was making the page break in firefox, not the captcha plugin. But I like the new captcha better anyway.
Your major problem is that you can’t scale or size the font so those of us who use bi-focals can read it. Unless I read it through an RSS reader I won’t be able to enjoy the content.
It scales fine for me in Firefox and IE7. Are you using IE6 or lower?
