Tidy Blog


Project Description:

My third free template, Tidy Blog, wasn't released until January 2007, but I had been working on it for nearly a month beforehand. It is, by far, my most ambitious template and also the most cluttered when it comes to the CSS. I want to go back into it and clean some of it up, but that is for a later day. There were multiple design elements crammed into this design:

  • Tabbed navigation that feels like it cuts into the header bar
  • Header text in the footer (and search bar) that seems to collide with the body color below it
  • A more vibrant color scheme
  • Samples for blog archives, posts, comment systems, and even a cool dynamic CSS image gallery yoinked from Stu Nicholls

With all of these design elements, it would be great to implement into a web page. There are already quite a few out there using it but it is far less popular than Antique Modern or even Less Antique.
