RIP: Lockergnome's Ugly Baby
Ready for a re-redesign? I am. A long time ago (in a galaxy quite close to ours), Stephen and I were working on a very basic shell for Lockergnome. I took that code and started tweaking it this morning. The elements are falling into place, but it's far from clean. Meryl's helping me tweak it this weekend, but my hope is to lay something into the official site before next weekend. My aim is to stay clean, fast, and efficient. You may wonder why we even bothered to roll out the (current) White Album? A new backend, pure and simple. We're dev'ing our own CMS that'll help us create newsletters, syndicated feeds, Web pages, etc. In order for other processes to begin, we had to put something different online. The result was a bit… dirty. But hey - this is the f*cking Internet. Just have a little patience, eh? The results will be well worth it. If you'd like to collaborate, just let me know; I'll be cracking code for the next X days.

Wow. You guys are slagging the old design pretty hard. And publicly. Doesn't seem very nice to the original designer…

That's cool and interesting that you have decided to go back and use some of the elements and ideas we had way back when. I look forward to see where this goes. The updates and changes so far seem to be coming along well.

It'd be uber cool if those icons at the top, next to the LG title graphic, were to pop out a few pixels and be colorized when you ran the mouse over them.

i like this new design better than the white album. the problem i had with the first major change was that it felt 100% commercial with no [or bl**dy hard to find] content.
the new test site makes me feel at home, what with the old style graphic :)
all but the main content seems jumbled.
how about your reviews sorted into sections [not unlike cnet i mean :d].
i have the problem of not being able to locate stuff i remember when i visit. and i had the same problem today when trying to search for pda reviews … so if you can think of a way …
