New Look. Old K-Fed Jokes.
By Marvo | July 1, 2006
Updated 1:55 pm (Sunday) - Emailed the developer of the theme and we tried a couple of things, but couldn’t get it to work. So I switched back to the old theme, until something can be figured out. Oh yeah, Contact Form emails are being delivered again, so you can feel free to tell me how much I suck.
Updated 12:59 am (Sunday) - Still haven’t figured it out. I’ve been tweaking things all f’n day. All I need to do is figure out why I’m not getting emails to let me know someone has commented, why I’m not getting emails with the Contact Form, and why my frickin’ sidebar drop to the bottom on some posts. Maybe I need a different theme. Anyway, emailed the developer of the theme. Hopefully, he gets back to me.
Updated 11:58 pm - For some reason post with tall images will force the sidebar to the bottom of the page. I think it’s a CSS problem, but I’ve been messing with the CSS for about two hours and haven’t figured it out. Right now, I am TIB’s bitch.
Updated 3:34 pm - Emailing reviews is now available in pop-up form, because I couldn’t get it to work in the original way. Just like the efforts women go through to look prettier, the efforts I’m going through to make TIB prettier are time-consuming, except without the complications of trying to keep fake eyelashes on.
Updated 1:40 pm - I think my RSS feeds are working again.
Updated 1:22 pm - Um, my RSS feeds aren’t working ever since I tried using Feedburner. I think it’s because my permalinks are screwed up. Right now, almost everything looks good in Firefox and Safari, except that damn “Email Review” page. The contact page still doesn’t work. Also, if you’re running IE6 or IE7, please let me know if anything doesn’t look right.
Hi there. As you can see, the look of The Impulsive Buy has changed. If not, clear your browser’s cache. Anyway, there are numerous things that don’t work here, like the ability to email reviews and contacting me.
If there are other things that don’t look right or are broken, please let me know by posting a comment. Hopefully, I can solve all the problems over the weekend.

Are we going to be able to use our gravatars?

Oooooh — a fresh new look! Clean, crisp, and snappy just like you
Feels like summer at The Impulsive Buy.

Every website is getting a redesign lately. Slashdot, Digg, and now TIB. Except Digg’s new design sucks. Kinda like how Comcast and G4 sucks.
On the archived reviews, the CSS gets screwed up. (i.e. text is on grey background, right sidebar is put under stories, etc) I think I might send you a screenshot.
I like the redesign. Freshens up the website.
July 1st, 2006 at 7:30 am
eh, I dunno. I think I prefered the previous site layout. There was just something about it that felt right.

the new design is hot.
I like it!
July 1st, 2006 at 2:36 pm
Me likey!

Marvo, your new website looks even hotter than the nude Britney Spears pregnant shot. OK, maybe that’s not a good comparison. But the site does look nice.

I like the new design Marvo, and it seems to be working in Opera browser.
July 1st, 2006 at 7:55 pm
Damn this is a nice design.
July 1st, 2006 at 8:17 pm
i miss my gravatar!

And here I had always hoped that a new Impulsive Buy design would somehow incorporate the Marvo Striptease Video….

It’s a nice design and it’s named after a shopping mall in Hawaii

I like the design for the comments…but not much else.
July 2nd, 2006 at 3:22 pm
You know you have a link from Wikipedia? Just look up Frawg.
It says the impulse buy though

I’m moist as a snack cake down there just thinking about this new look that will revolutionize the way I respond with inane, useless comments! Yay!
July 3rd, 2006 at 5:26 am
Um. I don’t see anything different. But then again, I have no idea how to “clear” my “cache”. Must be a personal problem.

Hurray! The gravatars are back!!! Hey, wait a minute… The new design is gone!??? What is going on? Am I in a time warp??
July 4th, 2006 at 4:32 am
Wow! This looks really great! The gravatars and the new look are back! Happy 4th of July!
July 4th, 2006 at 12:35 pm
What a tease. I come here and find the page I’m used to, I was expecting your half nekkid torso leering at me from the header or something. ::sigh:::
July 4th, 2006 at 12:55 pm
Ugh…the verticle lines are back, gravatars are gone and the purty celery green background for comments are back.
July 4th, 2006 at 3:06 pm
C’mon, Marvo; if YOU can’t get WP to function the way you want, how am I to ever hope that I might be able to wrangle the WP beast?? Well, everything looks A-OK in Safari, ‘cept the Gravitars are question marks. I think maybe if you roll your computer around in some chocolate pudding, then it will feel better and do your bidding.

Wow, I completely missed your redesign until today. Very nice… now I must go read about the mystical Grapple.
