Redesign is FINISHED!!
I am proud to announce that the site re-design is up and running! ![]()
Pink Tanpopo Designs was completely re-designed from ground up to build a cuter, sweeter and more accommodating web site! While I did have a certain place in my heart for my old design, I found it to be a bit limiting. Not only in my new design much cuter and more colorful, it is also much more functional. ![]()
Like my last design, it is also
valid... well, at least the html is valid. The css is only 99% valid. I say 95% because the css3 calls are too new to be included in the validator.
However, they are just a few atheistical aspects of the page (rounded corners, box shadows) that make it look really really nice. If you haven’t already done so, I really recommend you try this site with a newer browser such as the newest Google Chrome (the newest Safari, Opera and Firefox work well too).
If you are using Internet Explorer 7.0, then you should be aware that not only are you using a browser that not compliant to the standards, but it is full of bugs.
If you are using Internet Explorer 8.0, then you are running security risks to yourself and you could possibly be damaging other secure sites!
So if you are using Internet Explorer, please stop potentially attacking my site and switch to a safer, faster and better webkit browser!
The new version of Chrome is now my favorite browser (as I write this in Safari) because it it is really really fast.
I have benchmarked all of my current browsers here for you to see. I would like to get some IE on this test just to show you how poorly it performs.
Back to the design!
I really hope you think my new design is really cute. I think the top page is a lot more functional, and the slide shows work well. The blog page and the galerie just look better with the new lacy backgrounds (I think the galerie makes my images look so much nicer too). I did remove the “freebees” from the main menu because I think that this is something I can use as a blog category in the future.
This gets to my final thing for today. While the new design is running, I still need to do the following:
1. add the RSS syndication links
2. make a “clients” page
3. make blog categories, archives etc.
with that I hope you enjoy my new site
lots of bunny love

Almost done with the re-design!
OK! I just now finished the basic re-design of my website… BUT i haven’t got the new design uploaded onto my server. I have to now upload the files and throw it all into the CMS and then do a billion different bug tests before it will be open.
MY current design is cute and pink, yes, and I will link back to it ... but the new designs features other pastels! Pink, Sax, Yellow and Mint (I am such a lolita geek)
So look forward to my new design opening withen the next few days!
Redesign..

guess what! I have decided to give my webpage here a little facelift! or should I say a bunny lift, because there will be many bunnies in my redesign
Anyway, the redesign is going great! Hopefully It will be done sometime really really really soon!

or the ninja bunny will get upset
bunnies
woo whoo! I am building a bunny page!!
I cant tell you the details yet, but I am very happy to be helping bunnies!!
iE7 z-index fix
Ok, I think I finally solved my IE7 z-index bug which has been plaguing me since I started this site.
The problem was my logo, which had a higher z-index was appearing on top of every browser, except IE. Well, I had called the div inside my main body div… and that was causing the problem.
So I put the logo div on top, before the header, and it seems to have worked
I still think IE is evil, by the way
Ok it has been a while
Ok It has been a while, mostly because I have just forgotten to write this blog!
I am also dealing with a lot of spammers here. So I have decided if you want to leave a message, that is fine… But if you leave an unrelated link, it will be removed.
If you leave anything sexual in nature… seeing that I HATE sex, I will be extremely offended and I will post your IP and Email for other spambots to pick up and spam you.
Potential card design
So I have decided to finally work on the front page of my site. It is, after all the most important page in a website!
I do what I always do, get out my sketchbook and draw out a bunch of ideas
The first idea was pretty good on paper, but when I got it into illustrator, I realized that it was not going to work at all
So I went back to the drawing board and came up with this ribbon idea
after working on it, i realized that I made something that would be a pretty cute card for me! So I got it laid out
This is what I am playing around with

Sakura background
Ok, so this is not really cute, (well it is semi cute) but I created a fully tiling sakura web background.
Feel free to use it
