The site cycles again, and takes a conservative approach

As you can see, Angry in the Great White North has been transformed yet again.

Here is a rundown of the changes:

  • Much less image intensive. Down to 20 or so image portions from over 90.
  • Menu is text-based, not image-based. Not only does this load faster, a search engine spider can now crawl the pages.
  • All the pages are implemented except for the custom search engine page. That'll take another day.
  • The colour scheme is back to my favourite black-and-white.
  • Many of the widget-y elements are now gone. Some may return in the future.
  • Main text runs along the left rail so that people with small screens can still see all the content without scrolling sideways.
  • Much better behaved across browsers. Tested on Firefox 2+, IE7, and Opera v9.
  • Ads are running between the main text and the auxiliary elements (videos, search, etc). Gotta pay the bills.

The overall site plan is a much more traditional blog style. Main index on the front page. Post pages, archive pages, link and blog roll pages. I've learned a lot running through these various re-designs (important stuff for my job) and now I'm satisfied that I can throttle back and take Angry in the Great White North back along a more conservative path.

Bonus: You can read Angry in the Great White North on your Blackberry!
