Liveside Wave 3.1

Liveside-Glass-07

Yesterday we released a newly redesigned Liveside.net.  In the poll, about 50% of you voted that it needed work.

Well after a days worth of work, I've managed to make of the suggested themes into a CS 2007 theme.  There's still some bugs, but they should be iron'd out soon.

The new look sports a new Navigation Menu, some more colors, and some fixed bugs. Including the Next 10 Posts on the main page.  The right sidebar has also been updated, having it's Stay Informed Split in 3.

Anyhow, the new poll for Try 2 is available from http://www.liveside.net/forums/p/1266/3813.aspx#3813, in our Poll section.

Reactions, comments, praise, and more are all welcome.

On behalf of the Liveside Team, Thanks for your time and feedback from yesterday, welcome to Wave 3.1

This is a very good improvement, but the green and blue color don't go together.

I agree with the above comment.

Although I do not like the old magnifying glass search button. I think it should be replaced with a green "Search" button similar to the WL Wave 2 products or just a better colour magnifying glass button - but the old button currently in use does not go with the new skin.

I also think there is a tad too much white still, but I do like this skin and new logo much more than the old greener one.

It looks exactly the same in FireFox and IE7 in my opinion. I don't know about IE6 though.

Thanks for taking my suggestion into account Chris.

This new layout has got me even more hyped up about the Windows Live Wave 2 layouts now though lol so I hope they introduce it all soon!!

About Nick

I'm about to start my final year (hopefully final) of university studying BSc Computing at plymouth university. All things going good so far, on track for a 1:1, which will be a great thing to hide the A-Level grades

I switch between living in plymouth (@ Uni) and in Gilwern (@ Home), both are in the UK tho. Usually via a 4 hour train journey, would be 3 hours if connections where even remotely timed to work. Term times at September -> November, Jan -> March. For my final year

I have 2 blogs, Dev Log on www.nbdev.co.uk and my personal one which is now on www.techienick.com. www.nbdev.co.uk is my development site, which I've had for near on 5 years now.

I've liked computers for god knows how long now, I think I got my first computer in 1994, which was a compaq. I was only 7 at this time, and I was already on it too much. In about 1996 I managed to pursuade my parents to let me have dail up internet access, and have been on the net daily since then. In 1999 I set up my first website for a friend, and things grew from there, moving from HTML, to PHP, to ASP and now finally ASP.net!

In 2003/4 I stopped making websites, to consentrate on my A-Levels, which went drastically wrong, but I still managed to get the grade for University.

Along with being a CS MVP, I'm also a Microsoft Beta tester, including Windows Live, Exchange Server 2007 SP1, and more.

I'm a loyal technet plus subscriber, not MSDN unfortunatly, too expensive. The subscription gets me cool stuff like, free vista, exchange, windows server, and more

I currently run, and manage a Server on my home network, this is now just Mail for the nbdev.co.uk domain. I co-share a VPS on a telligent employee's beast of server in the USA, with another CS MVP and telligent employee Rick.
