Solipsus

It seems that this new theme has sparked quite a lot of feedback, and it is all quite positive (if not all!). That is quite strange for me, as I usually get advice from members of at Snark about things which they dislike, would like changed - and me being me - I change because I like to cater for the people around me, but not this time! I love this layout - the colour scheme and structure the most.

As to why I am mentioning the feedback I have received about ‘Machu Picchu’ (appropriately named after the colour scheme), is because I came across hits from a website which praised my ’simplicity’. I love it. Check out the article here. Ego-boosting for the win, in my opinion. :nod:

I also received a nice review over at yoursite.nu. I was quite impressed, due to the fact that it is more than a couple lines of ‘Looks nice. Good Colour Scheme. GoOd JoB!” Quote:

Yours is a perfect example of something that is plain but looks awesome.

*Rubs knuckles on shoulder* I never knew it could feel so good to get great praise, it just makes me want to keep this layout forever, but knowing me it won’t.

A more in-depth review of Solipsus can be found over at Harlequin Reviews. I must admit, this is the first review site that I have submitted Solipsus to, and was quite scared at getting my site slated by another person. I am a person who likes to accommodate for everybody, and make sure that as many people like my site as possible. So saying that, I was happy to see that not too many problems were found!

After reading Nellie’s review of Solipsus, I made a few changes like making the whole body background the same, even behind the content where it had an extremely pale cream/almost white background. Edited some coding, added some items to my to-do list like adding to my author page!

My only problem is the colours; some people are seeing them differently. I use a MacBook, and the colour scheme consists of Light Green/Medium Green/Dark Green/Cream/Aubergine (not brown). So if you are seeing anything different, take a screenshot or something and let me know. It would be much appreciated.

Finally, I thought I would note that with this design I have been accepted to CSSBased, CSSGlance. Though not Perfection, or DesignSnack - Oh well, at least it means I still have room for improvement :)
