I had some free time last night after work, and decided to finish up some design work I'd done on Catherine's blog. Sh humors my occasional bursts of geekery on her 'home turf', with occasional 500 errors and muttered comments about testing new code. I'm pretty happy with the results, though -- a modified OSWD design and the addition of the WebSnapr module gave the boost of New Spiffiness that it had been lacking.

Thanks!

I've been immersed in Drupal long enough that I'm hardly an objective source of information, but feel free to toss any questions my way. I've found it to be a really powerful replacement for Movable Type, though it takes some finessing to create a clean divide between the 'contributor/administrator backend' and the user-facing frontent.

Hey,
I really do like the look. Didn't know that there's a WebSnappr module for Drupal. Great!
It might be only me or my screen's bad gamma configuration (does anyone know a good gamma calibration tool for X11/Linux?), but I find the white text on the yellow background quite hard to read. You might want to consider to either darken the background or using black or a dark grey as main font color (and e.g. doing the headlines in white, that should be no problem as their bolder).
