it’s a redesign!
It’s still CSS-based, it has 4 columns and a new mini blog o’ links, it’s my little redesign of tidak ada.
A little effort was put into making that design work in MSIE 6 while still allowing the text to be selectable, this forced me to serve the page without a doctype and with some css-positionning tweaks to work around the various MSIE bugs and its stupid box model. I’m not sure how it displays on MSIE 5.5 or earlier, but it should show like in IE 6 since I used the old IE 5.x stupid box model.
Other browsers are served unaltered content and stylesheets, and so far they’ve been behaving well, ‘they’ being Mozilla 1.2, Opera 6, and Konqueror 3. If someone could send me a screenshot in IE on OS X, that would be great. You can also feel free to buy me a Mac so that I could check for myself, but you may find the screenshot solution more affordable.
Netscape 4 and its friends in the menagerie of antiquated browsers are bad dogs, so no biscuit for them, they get unstyled content.
And then, that’s it. Posterised image on the top left is subject to change every week or so. If you prefer the old design, it’s still there.

I like the Warhol-esque flower.

I like it!

It’s sporting a horizontal scrollbar in IE6/PC on 800×600 resolution but other than that, it looks great! :)

I don’t like the posterised picture - Smells like I’m in 16 color mode (not 16 bit), but the rest of the layout is sweet!

Firda, I wish someone somewhere (in summer time — bonus points for who catches the reference) would tell me what makes IE6 display this scrollbar. I’ve tried many variations on padding/margin and so far no luck.
Brett, that’s the desired effect :P

I just realized that there was a picture. Usually I read the site on IE 5.1.6 for Mac OS 9 and there is no pic on the top.
I happened to be working on IE 6 for XP the other day and there it was to my amazement!

I am a newcomer to this blog, and I have to say that I really do enjoy this design much better than the previous. Keep up the greta work Michel!

Looks very organised! =)

I’m reading your blog for a couple of weeks now and I enjoy it.
I’ve had some problems with Internet Explorer displaying a horizontal scrollbar in an advanced CSS-based design too. And if that was the only issue with Internet Explorer and CSS designs I could have spared a lot of hours ;)
By the way, I like the new design (already saw a part of it when I tried your alternate stylesheet some days ago).

Bad news: In IE 5 / Windows the links in the blog-o-links are unclickable :/

You’re so pretty..
