Version 7 finished - finally!
Well, it's taken the whole of the bank-holiday weekend, along with this evening too - but it's finally here... version 7 of slickhouse.com
In reality, it's just a new theme for WordPress, but the code has been re-written from the ground up and a few extra images have been painstakingly put together in Photoshop, for good measure.
It should also bring slickhouse.com into the Web 2.0 era, with the shiny footer icons and wallpaper background - which took several hours to create, from an actual off-cut of wallpaper that we picked up in Glynn Web. I knew the texture-tiling technique we were taught in Games Design would come in handy one day!
So, let me know what you think by leaving a comment below - and highlight any bugs you find too.

The MySQL DB is throwing up a few errors, but these should disappear sometime today...

Ah, that problem - I've limited the Recent Comments to 20 characters. In IE6 it completely threw the layout off, resulting in a super-wide sidebar.
It's all fine now, in IE6; IE7; Firefox; Netscape and Opera.

ok i found 3 problems and ill give you these for free! 1) the times are incorrect to GMT. 2) The Send email button on the contacts page is in the text box. 3) the contacts page is not XHTML 1.1 Valid. You should fix these in no time.
Another comment. In work i have my brightness turned down to stop glare (a tip from mince man) and didnt even notice the back ground until i got home, i just thought it was black.

Whorehouse? Yes it does look it I agree. Minceman gives all the best advice. I'll save your eyes in the long run Mr Mondo.

I've spent a few hours adjusting the new theme, but still have the contact form to sort out LordByron. It's currently a WordPress plugin that displays the form, but I'll change this to a hand-coded form very soon.
As for the GMT times - it is, but not BST, so is an hour behind this time of year. It's something out of my control though, as slickhouse.com is hosted on a shared server.

Nice aint it? Stupid MySQL server is playing up again - if it keeps it up I may end up looking for a new host.
