Croton Lovin'

Welcome to my new ugly site design. I normally like to switch it up every 3-6 months and go with something totally different, and it has been 6 months and 4 days since I tossed up the old dark design. I really liked the last design, but felt like something new. I expect that this will not last too terribly long, but it is kinda growing on me. If nothing else, it is easier to read than the old site.
The colors are inspired by an article on www.colourlovers.com/. I picked the croton palette and decided to go for an faux retro look. The font for the bottons and banner is called Stereofidelic from www.abstractfonts.com.
I love it!!!

So much better than the old design, IMHO. There's a lot more color contrast than the red-on-grey from before, so I go blind for different reasons reading it. This one makes me think Ron Burgundy.
A nice surprise!

Thought I would stop by the page to see how you were doing and instantly I like what I see. I know you think it's ugly but from a visitor's standpoint it is very friendly on the eyes. Thanks for the new look!
Ummmm.....

I'm still partial to the old green on black or may be amber on black from the old terminals I used back in the late seventies. A little before your time. I still use it though a lot of the software don't support it well. I've used it ok in Word Perfect a few years back but I tried it in MS Word and some of the sub-menus didn't work well and it's too much work to check everything.
