You have somehow arrived at my website, so I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Kevin Hankens.

Finally a design I like!
Sun, 09/21/2008 - 16:43 — Kevin HankensI've been monkeying with my site design over the past week or so (hit refresh twice if you see any weirdness or don't see the colorful top border) and I've finally got it where I like it. I resurrected the little fixed border at the top from my old site. Here's the CSS in case you care:
#top_border {
background:#ffffff url(/sites/all/themes/kevin/images/stars_border.gif) top left repeat-x;
position:fixed;
top:0px;
left:0px;
height:8px;
width:100%;
z-index:99;
border-bottom:1px solid #666666;
}
background:#ffffff url(/sites/all/themes/kevin/images/stars_border.gif) top left repeat-x;
position:fixed;
top:0px;
left:0px;
height:8px;
width:100%;
z-index:99;
border-bottom:1px solid #666666;
}
Also, a fun little hack to get a little "torn paper" tail on the end of each entry:
ul li.blog_usernames_blog {
display:block;
margin:25px -15px -15px -16px;
padding:15px;
width:572px;
background:#ffffff url(/sites/all/themes/kevin/images/div_node_bottom.gif) top left no-repeat;
}
display:block;
margin:25px -15px -15px -16px;
padding:15px;
width:572px;
background:#ffffff url(/sites/all/themes/kevin/images/div_node_bottom.gif) top left no-repeat;
}
The only messy part was to create a node-page.tpl.php and add that ul to the bottom of the template so that the effect works on pages.
This whole design thing is pretty fun. I could just keep changin 'er every day, but in the interest of doing something productive [read: I should be cleaning the toilet] I think I'll leave it where it is for a bit!
