Look mum! It’s finished!

I’ve finished off the site today so all bugs are now ironed out of the layout. Some of the “highlights” include:

Admin comments look different from regular ones (no more being ignored and seeing the same comments over and over…)
Customise the mascot page automated
“Quick bookmark” system introduced
RSS feed management moved over to Feedburner
Archives done properly
About page, contact page, services page and projects page all re-done
Favicon!

I’ve also converted around a third of my posts from the last database over to this database as I’m starting to see a problem with deleting everything from the previous version of the site everytime I upgrade :) It’s also nice to have a real archive, but as you can probably see, all the comments from those posts are completly gone. But i’m sure you guys will solve that over time :)

Also, another 6 mascot submissions:

I absolutely LOVE the customisations coming through for the mascot, and hope to see plenty more from you guys to come :)

Mascot PSD fixed

I’ve fixed the Mascot .PSD file over at the customise the mascot! page as the grey bar was overlapping causing a darkened bar.

Download the new version here and I look forward to seeing your customised mascots :)

4 mascots sent in since yesterday :)

I decided that the previous version of Twod was generally very limited and poor to navigate, and I also wanted to switch to a simply layout that was quick to load and focused on the content I was putting accross. And then I found it.

Theres alot of changes really:

main page shows 5 instead of 1
categories are browsable
great new archiving system
spam blocker on the comments
gravatar support on the comments
my latest del.icio.us bookmarks (so you can see what i’ve been reading..)
latest pixel2life tutorials
links
rss done properly (feedburner)
contact form opened up a little bit
about us page added (not yet actually got content though, haha)
complete twodded blogs listing on the right
NEW TWOD/TWODDED MASCOT IN THE HEADER! (an R-W Shilling creation)

Whoever said that updates to site versions had to come with only 2 features? Well, quite alot of people really.. But thats just not the way we do things round here ;)
