Local stuff and other stuff from a blow-in

Oh and votes please

For the new blog theme. Like or no like? Like but would prefer a Cork specific image in the header? Don’t like cos it looks like mud?

And while I’m here, we launched blognation Ireland on Monday. It is part of a fast growing global tech news network called blognation and it covers Web 2.0 and Mobile in Ireland. So if you are a techie or in a start-up and you read this blog but not Argolon (you nutter), check out the new site.

  1. It has a nice style … maybe a nice header image would make it seem a littler warmer?

  2. Conor, from what I know of you… it’s not you.

    But you do need a different header image. What does Cork mean to you (braced for scary images)?

  3. Damn, same response from d’wife. Have a few uber-techie ones I was trying out on argolon but thought they might not appeal to the non-techie reader base here. Myabe I should do a theme a day for a week and stick in a PollDaddy poll to get people to vote for their fave.

    I could just put up a graphic of some cheese and maybe bacon. Or pictures of people turning right in the left hand lane of a roundabout ;-)

  4. I like the tabs, but not the fuzzy brown header. A pic would definitely be nicer.

  5. It’s a bit subdued… we have cushions that colour (the header). But it’s very neat…

  6. I’ve tried to login to my gmail account when I’m in my photo-share software Picasa2 but it won’t let me. I can sign in on the general Gmail intro page though. I can’t see much use for Picasa2 used independently of gmail. I’d like to email photos thru Picasa2 etc.
    But heck I studied Economics in UCC. What would I know.

  7. I keep trying Picasa and then giving up cos the workflow is not what I’m used to.

  8. It’s a bit GIRLY! And not enough oomph!

  9. Goddammit that seals it. I’m going hard-core techie when I find the right one. Disgusted to see a bunch win awards recently and find that half of them break totally on real-world blogs.

  10. One positive thing, though, it is really easy to read, and that is HUGE, I hate blogs that have dark backgrounds and light letters, makes them nigh on impossible to read.

  11. Yup. Black background on any site puts it on my ban-list. Usually done by pubescent boys highlighting their angst and gothism to the world.

  12. Says the person with a black background on Twitter.

  13. Must upate that background soon too.

  14. Right, what about this blue one? I’ll change the header graphic.

  15. I like the blue better, but am not gone on the peach at the side. I like the green under recent readers, gives a nice pop. Try gray instead of peach?

  16. I like the colour scheme; but would like to see a local image somewhere around the header.

  17. Will do. Just need a decent image.
