New Layout Featuring an Owl

I realized yesterday that easter was over on Sunday and I still had a layout featuring an easter chick and some eggs. Figures.

So I put this together about an hour ago at the last minute. Brent made me that little owl a while ago and I decided to use it since it’s so freaking cute. I’m starting to feel bad, using his stuff all the-- lol that’s a total lie.

I apologize in advance if the green looks like a shitstain on your computer. Still tweaking a few things, so if anything looks weird it’s because I’m working on it.


mmm, cool.  Like it much more than your last one :)

Not too fond of the readability of this comment form, though *hint hint* XD

eee, and more padding between the edges of the white area and the text would be great.

And the lists in the link section - the bullets are currently overlapping into the left hand sidebar.

Sorry to be all critiq-y on your ass. I usually just ignore these things, but I felt like mentioning them because I like this layout so much overall :P

Thank you Rose!

I like the color choice a lot not too fond of the owl (but that’s just personal preference). I think your site title should be larger, after all it’s important to know where people are.

And I agree with Rose, more padding on the right, inside the white rectangle.

I like the owl, he’s very cool. Maybe he hatched out of the Easter eggs on your last layout..!?

It’s a cute layout! ^^

I quite like the owl. =]

Can I have the easter one back please? :(

I much prefer this to the last one. I love the colour scheme; very quirky and pulled together. :)

Cute layout =]

I love the owl, and I love this combo of green and brown! I think the text is too small and the navigation is too small (and I tried to resize it but it wouldn’t work) but other than that, it is perfect. (firefox)

Oooh, nice layout! First left-aligned layout I’ve really seen and liked. And hell, that owl is so cute it gets me a little happy in the pants. Great job, Brent, wherever he is.

I really like owl. It has to be my favorite part of the layout.

Oh super cute! I love the colors. The owl is adorable. And I really like the solid sidebar on one side with the polka dot pattern on the other side.. it’s a nice contrast.

Posted by Katie on March 26, 2008

That’s an adorable owl! I really do like the shades of green used, though at resolution 1280x1024, the amount of green on the sides does make it a little searing. But I understand the need to cater to lower resolutions.

i love this!!! the owl is so cute! (*loves owls*). i agree with rose, this is better than the last one. i like the colors. :) very owlish? lol.

Posted by Jenna on March 26, 2008

I really like the new layout! The owl and the colors work really well together.  The only thing I don’t so much like is the polka-dots on the right.  I think it might look better if it was polka-dots on both sides or solid on both sides.  Just personal preference though :)

Posted by Ashley on March 26, 2008

Love love LOVE the new design! <3 The colors are perfect for the season and the owl is fantastic :D

I’m totally digging this new layout! It looks great! All these nice new layouts I have been seeing lately are inspiring me to make something new. I just haven’t had the time.

Posted by Britney on March 26, 2008

i like the owl, it’s rather cute. These colours look quite well together too.

This layout is so cute :D I love it, although I think maybe the text should be a bit bigger.

Posted by on March 26, 2008

I love how this layout is so different from all lot of your other ones! It really matches the owl. The polka-dotted background matches very well. *tries to stop listing all the awesome-ness in the layout*

So Cute!

Posted by Tiffany on March 26, 2008

The owl is adorable!  The polka-dotted background is awesome :)

The main content area needs more padding and maybe this is just an IE problem but your paragraphs are all smooshed up (e.g need more padding/margin/whatever.)

Apart from that I like it a lot!

This might be my favourite layout of yours that I’ve seen. Although that bird one was really nice....anyway, I love it so much! Brent is really talented.

By the way, question - (when) is the IP challenge continuing? Now that I’m a spectator, I really want to see the entries.

Posted by Raina on March 26, 2008

I love this layout :) The alignment, setup, and dotted background are awesome, not to mention the cute owl. I like the speech bubble with the site name, no matter how small it is :P

Just a little thing that I’ve noticed in your past few layouts—it’s not really clear what each “Posted by...” corresponds to, since they all kind of float between comments. The fact that “Posted by Sarai...” is the same alignment and colour as the signature for each comment keeps making me think that you’re the first commenter on your own entry XD

Posted by Kaylee on March 26, 2008

I absolutely love this layout! There are no problems for me, and its just so adorable.

Posted by Marian on March 27, 2008

Oh mee gosh this is so cute! I love the owl! <3

Posted by Rilla on March 27, 2008

I love the new layout! Very colourful, I love the colours and the owl is so cute!!! :D
