CSS Reboot: Bloom
I decided to participate in this season’s CSS Reboot and came up with “Bloom,” Skylight’s 17th version. I was browsing through an old issue of Time Magazine, when I saw a picture of the King’s Forest room at Hotel Fox and became instantly inspired. (Even the name of the hotel itself was enough to tickle my fancy. Hotel Fox? How cute is that?!)
I have never been attracted to the color orange in the past, but that particular hue really caught my eye. Skylight’s previous layouts had a lot of blues, greens and grays in them — I wanted to use a color that I haven’t used before. I was also going for a slightly more grown-up look, something feminine but not frilly. Of course as dictated by tradition, the design still had to feature a cartoon version of me. Aren’t all personal websites at least partly narcissistic, anyway?

Let me know what you think or if you have problems viewing the new layout. I double-checked everything, but it’s possible that I missed a kink or two.

I like it : ) It’s very adorable. The room that inspired you, though… kind of freaks me out! Though it does have its cool elements.
waaah! ang sarap niyang tignan..
ganda ng layout nikki! *thumbs up*
Thanks, Echo!
As for the room, Time’s photo only focused on the bed and the wall behind it. I’m not too crazy about the rest of the room either, hehe!
Kats, I’m glad you like it!
yep, looks pretty neat
Nice reboot! The new colors look great.
There must be a shade of gray here somewhere… I can smell it. >.>
*sniffs around*
Okay, I found nothing, but I’m on to you…
