   Oooh, yummy!

   Very nifty!

   nice!

   Niiiiiiice! I love the ever-changing pictures up top.

    I like green. And it’s sort of, um, green. Lovely. Thank

     
11. Lynne, 20. June 2004, 22:49
    

    you. Oops.

    I will be still making a few tweaks to things over the week. I am not real crazy about the comment spacing. I like having the comments numbered, but I’d still like a horizontal rule to divide each one.

    Looks good.

    I like how the comments work now, I never was real crazy about “comment boxes”.

    Carbs are yummy.

    Davezilla, funniest site on the net, redesigns and switches to WordPress. Seems a little slow though, might want to check out the Staticize Reloaded plugin.

    In a word – Yuck

    Looks like a Martha Stewart website.

    

     
16. Spud, 21. June 2004, 1:02
    

    While I’m on that track, where is the manliness of the site
    gone I ask you?
    The greyness, the Blue?

    Cool! You can file your posts under multiple catagories. I wanna do that!!!

    Davezilla gets a cool redesign and switches to WordPress. via Matt…

    OMG it’s, well it’s horrible! (sorry Dave)

    Now I have to make up an email address to post for fear of work related dismissal.

    Oh the pic, thats just sad…..Snoop famously said “niggers don’t give a fuck” I bet they would if they saw this young man walking through the projects.

     
21. Sushubh, 21. June 2004, 3:46
    

    Mate, the layout kinda breaks in Opera. Maybe lack of margin:0; padding:0 for body…

     
22. Minnie, 21. June 2004, 5:04
    

    Fantastic. Very, very good.

    But I keep forgetting that licking your logo will
    not give me the taste of a Krispy Kreme doughnut.

    *two thumbs up for the new design*

     
23. Anna, 21. June 2004, 5:51
    

    Ambivalance has always been one of my great character-flaws. So, I’m gonna stay on the fence for awhile. Leanin toward ‘YUCK’ though.

    young man walking through the projects
    Uh, there is no such picture, Rev. All these pictures were taken in Royal Oak, Toronto and Vancouver. Nice areas.

    Mate, the layout kinda breaks in Opera.
    Odd, Body > margin:0 was already set, but padding was not (it is now). I’ll check that in Opera, thanks.

    Today’s Tally Count

    Yay’s – 13 (A very unlucky number)
    Nay’s – 2 (Feng Shui goodstuff)
    Undecided – 1 (Female of course, or perhaps a Libra)

    Verdict – Undecided

     
26. Davezilla, 21. June 2004, 6:51
    

    You didn’t add the emails received thus far, Spud. Fourteen more yays and one more nay. As with all redesigns, readers either love it or hate it (except the Libras which, as Spud pointed out, need the other 11 to decide for them).

    As I recall, I got twice the hate mail over my last two redesigns. Especially that grey, manly one.

     
27. ReV.JeLLyBaBy, 21. June 2004, 7:35
    

    Sorry Dave, slight mixup. That comment was meant to go with the gangster photo.
    Posted it here though (I was half asleep).

     
28. Spud, 21. June 2004, 9:13
    

    I’m swinging out here on a limb, but possibly, just possibly I could be bought with g-mail.

     
29. Spud, 21. June 2004, 9:16
    

    Also, word wrap is not working on the comments box.

     
30. lolly, 21. June 2004, 9:33
    

    I was going to comment about it being bork3n in Opera, but you’ve fixed it since earlier. Rock on

     
31. Icairus, 21. June 2004, 10:11
    

    It still needs some work, Dave.
    The top is too big. You’ve got all that empty space above Davezilla.com. A little bigger than the Davezilla.com image would be a much better size, instead of massively bigger. And the comment spacing is pretty bad.
    But as a work in progress, I like it.

     
32. Icairus, 21. June 2004, 10:13
    

    And the archive doesn’t work.

     
33. RaynDragon, 21. June 2004, 11:03
    

    Aww, look! Dave’s showing us his “feminine side”! It’s so pretty!

    Translation: Ewww! It’s girly, make it stop!!!

    Layout works in Opera for me, although I’m stuck with the same pic at the top no matter how many times I reload. Pfft!

     
34. Fake, 21. June 2004, 11:45
    

    Yuck. Can I say yuck on the web?

    Yuck.

     
35. Nikki, 21. June 2004, 11:50
    

    Bootylicious.

    Btw, I’ll have 2 powdered jellies and 1 chocolate frosted donut.

     
37. April, 21. June 2004, 11:59
    

    Hm … there’s something different about you, but I can’t put my finger on it. Did you lose some weight? Cut your hair?

    Or, hm … could it be that my comment box is like 5 pixels wide?

     
38. Scott Johnson, 21. June 2004, 13:12
    

    I just love the smilies! Is that a WP plugin that converts them into images?

     
39. dan, 21. June 2004, 14:29
    

    The pic changes for me in Opera, but the design does look kind of girly.

     
40. Kimberly, 21. June 2004, 15:51
    

    OK, I like you, but really don’t like this. It’s just not YOU-like. OK, I mean, I don#t know you that well, but I just don’t think mint green is you. OK, putting shovel down and shutting up now.

    Here are some wiseass comebacks for ya: “Well, I like your site, but not you!” or a la Rocky Horror Picture show: “I didn’t make it FOR YOU!” or: “Shut up!”

    Very fresh and cool, but where’s Skinny? Bring back Skinny! (the monster…)

     
42. slick, 21. June 2004, 17:58
    

    yuck.
    bring back the old layout, dave. this one is icky.

     
43. fiend, 21. June 2004, 18:27
    

    Other than the spacing issue, it looks good. But I have to agree with the feminine remarks.

     
44. icairus, 21. June 2004, 19:00
    

    Dave, you are now my favorite person within the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the galaxy.
    But I have to tell you, I AM a peruvian timber snail.

     
45. Natalie, 21. June 2004, 20:30
    

    How is this layout “girly”? If it was pink and covered in flowers and boobs it would be girly, but I’m not quite sure why red, green and white look feminine to some people.

     
46. mikeB, 21. June 2004, 20:41
    

    Everyone that said ‘feminine’ are prolly fat old men sitting in their wive’s panties and worried about how the green and red flowers look against their pasty white flesh

     
47. Davezilla, 21. June 2004, 20:43
    

    Yeah, cause photos of women and bikers are sooooo girly.

     
48. Spud, 21. June 2004, 21:49
    

    I object to pasty white flesh, yeah it’s, it’s more like pale putrice.

     
49. Suzanne, 21. June 2004, 23:02
    

    The comment spacing is a bit LONG but it looks nice. No more popups! I have to go refresh the main page madly now. Redesign heaven! (I have two in progress, lol, hopefully not quite so long a rollout as it has been historically for me.)

     
50. RaynDragon, 21. June 2004, 23:45
    

    Sorry, but I am not a fat old man although I am wearing women’s underwear, MikeB, just in case you wondered. If you need me to prove my own femininity, I’ll mail you my maxipad.

    It looks like one of those green mint candies I used to get at Fannie Mae growing up. I didn’t even notice the red until Natalie mentioned it.

    At least the picture up top finally changed. This one helps some (it’s the bald guy with his hand over his face), but the last one (some girl with her back to us looking at something) just added to the “feminine feel” for me.

    Just my opinion. *shrug*

     
51. ReV.JeLLyBaBy, 22. June 2004, 3:06
    

    Yes indeed, The bar to the right does remind me of my old shower curtains a bit. I
    remember when the slogan I would associate with Dave would be “Carpus Scrotum” = grab the
    world by the balls and shout, now he’s mellowed and released his feminine side I think
    that “Carpus Handbag” may be appropriate.

     
52. ReV.JeLLyBaBy, 22. June 2004, 3:09
    

    That should be to the left, not right. How about a manly royal BLUE (royal like Royal
    Oak) and a nice Oak backdrop. Royal Blue and Oak…how manly. How Davezilla.

     
53. Kimberly, 22. June 2004, 3:15
    

    LOL! I like the atkins tag line! *Laughs her ass off*

     
54. April, 22. June 2004, 16:22
    

    It looks much better on my browser now.

    I am inbetween on the redesign here. Although I’m no regular to the posting board, I’ve spent a great deal of my man-time here. I like the layout of the redesign, and kind of a cool pattern goin on with the side menu, not to mention the endlessly changing bannerbar, but I have to join the group of people who find the mint green to be a little, uh…. :limp: Keep everything else and find kind of a DAVEZILLA:evil: color and I would be back in manly heaven

    I’d love to see Davezilla stop using darn www. in URIs! And in the comment form, the Name field is styled differently than the other fields… Just some :boobs:suggestions:boobs:.

    Oh, and the boob smily (:boobs:) is called through boobs, but all I get to see is one boob. :limp::wtf::sad:

     
61. Davezilla, 22. December 2004, 12:30
    

    I’d love to see Davezilla stop using darn www. in URIs!
    I’d love to see you give one legitimate reason to stop using it. Many URIs simply fail without it (depending on server configuration).

    As for styling, I see no difference in the fields. Maybe it’s a browser-specific thing. Anyway, it’s up for redesign next month so I will certainly take a look at the form fields. Thanks.

     
62. Mathias Bynens, 28. December 2004, 10:52
    

    All URIs on here on Davezilla work fine without the “www.” part. You want reasons?

    www. is deprecated:

    By default, all popular Web browsers assume the HTTP protocol. In doing so, the software prepends the http://' onto the requested URL and automatically connect to the HTTP server on port 80. Why then do many servers require their websites to communicate through the www subdomain? Mail servers do not require you to send emails to recipient@mail.domain.com. Likewise, web servers should allow access to their pages though the main domain unless a particular subdomain is required.

    Succinctly, use of the www subdomain is redundant and time consuming to communicate. The internet, media, and society are all better off without it.

    Besides, it looks ugly, but that’s just me :wang:.

    As for the styling, I’m looking at it through Mozilla Firefox 1.0, and I do see a difference. The border of the Name field is unstyled.
