New design for my Blog

I decided to redesign my blog last night. I am using Aura from Leorex and the Aura skin that Joe Rinehart created for Aura. The nice thing about Aura is that they provide a Photoshop template to redesign the skin very easily. I personally feel it looks better than my last design, and it uses CSS positioning for the layout.

I did run into some problems initially with the Javascript popup window functionality for the blog editor. I think it has to do with the version of BlogCFC I am using and the version of the Aura skin that Joe provided. I am using BlogCFC 3.5.

Joe javascript command looked like this;

<a href="javaScript:launchBlogEditor('#id#')">#application.resourceBundle.getResource("edit")#</a>

I changed it to look like this;

<a href="javaScript:launchEditor('#id#')">#application.resourceBundle.getResource("edit")#</a>

That seems to have done the trick.

I'm not so sure on this design, to be honest. It's not really 'web 2.0' and it's a particular color of green that I think I struggle a bit with.
You need some more rounded corners and perhaps just a little more shading on some of the buttons and headings. It looks a little old, if you ask me, compared to many of the other designs that are out there.
It's my opinion that Wordpress is still leading the blog design front, with their WYSIWG and their ease of use. Just some random advice, take it, don't take it. I realise I may be out of my league when it comes to coding, though, so you are probably involved with some experiment here that I don't truly understand.

Wow!  Impressive!  I think you’re a genius.  I want to try this one out myself.  Maybe it will work in my project.
