minor changes

I’ve just made a couple of minor changes to the design of this site.  There are more to come though… I’m bored with the stupid complexity of this design.  It was copied from a design called Mollio which was originally designed back in 2006 for a specific CMS (Content Management System) called Farcry.  Farcry seems to be defunct now, and Mollio isn’t supported any more.  Its also not the best of designs either, and isn’t completely compatible with BlogEngine.Net.  Maybe I should say that the other way around - BlogEngine.Net isn’t completely compatible with the Mollio framework. 

There are some issues with the way it displays controls, among them the major irritation of having two identically identified controls on the same page in certain cases.  That’s why you can sometimes see a horizontal scrollbar in your browser; the layout tells one of the elements to display a couple of hundred pixels to the right.  In that case it is displaying from the right of a point which is already on the right of the page. 

So, I was thinking about changing it all.  Its now a lot easier of course, as I can make changes without destroying the previous design; all I have to do is not use it.  When I had my own blog software it was far more difficult to do that as the design was intrinsic to the pages.  Yes, I know that isn’t the way to do it, but I had built this CMS over a period of many years and it had evolved into something that I wouldn’t write today.  So, keep an eye out for a new design…
