Website Redesign

I've been wanting to redesign the site (http://www.demajen.co.uk for those of you reading the imported blog on Facebook) for a while, mainly due to the fact that it's been over a year since I last did it, and the background/artwork was getting a bit out of date.

Sadly it's taken me a good two weeks to come up with any ideas. I tried a variety of things but fell back on the fact that if I made it too complicated, I'd never update it. Thus instead I spent a good portion of the time trying to figure out a way to skin the blogger aspect of the site, and I'll build everything else round that.

The basic template is now up, but there's a few things to work on:

1) The Archive/Previous Post links don't show up well enough on the background.
2) The main post area may also get a background of some kind.
3) The borders that run down the page suddenly stop for some reason.
4) The image map menu on the banner may get some rollover images so they glow and give a bit more jazz/interactive feeling.
5) Missing a footer/copyright notice.
6) Page background is screwed at higher resolutions than 1440x900.
7) IE and Safari cut off the page at, oddly, the exact same place the borders stop running down the sides.
8) Content isn't centered on IE.

But other than that (>_>), it doesn't look too bad at all.
