FusionFox Comes Alive
March 8, 2008 \ 10 Comments

After hours and hours of creating and coding, I present to you the new FusionFox. This site's content is primarily the same, but I have made enhancements in various places. I also plan to write quite a bit more nowadays since I enjoy sharing what I learn about designing for the web.

I didn't keep track, but I imagine I've spent over 80 hours on this bad boy (just ask my wife—she'll attest to the time I've spent). I wanted to take it pretty slow and try to insert detail wherever I could. It's also particularly difficult to create a design for yourself. I went through several designs and struggled to finally land on something I could run with.

Movable Type 4.1 has been a thrill to work with. The back-end user interface is gorgeous and light years ahead of the prior version. I installed a fresh version and imported my prior blog articles, and it worked seamlessly. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a highly customizable blog platform.

As always, I'm still squishing bugs for those mysterious people out there that still aren't using Firefox or Safari. Feel free to email me any issues you find.

Be sure to grab the RSS feed and come back often!

Very slick. Congrats on version 7 of your site. Glad to see how far it's come along. I look forward to more articles/entries.

Nice update. I like the trick you used to make the headers appear glossy - very clever.

I dig the new design, bro. Clean and simple. A little too clean for my tastes (could you throw a little grunge in there?), but it looks very nice.

Nice work. I've always hoped you could design for us. What's the holdup? :D

Awesome realignment! I really like the new, clean design. I'm diving into MT and Typepad as I type and I'm a bit frustrated that there aren't a ton of well designed templates out there. Ever think of offering your site up as a theme or template for a nice price?

The site looks awesome Clifton!

Thanks, everyone!

Nice touch on the vert wrapper thing, among other details. Very nice.

Cameron Moll \ March 12, 2008

Very nice overall, I meant to say at the end! (Made it sound like the vert wrapper was the *only* nice thing...)

Great job Clifton, have you ever thought about designing a stickball web site?
