April Edition

This is neither a permanent redesign, nor to be a regular event, I just fancied a bit of fun as it’s the day for it. Go on, hit’refresh’, I dare yer! (No markup was injured during the making of this site.)

   Oh God, here it all comes. 1 minute past midnight - I knew you’d be the first. Oh for the blanket-banning of April Fool’s Day tomfoolery. I just don’t know how anyone finds the time for such japes. Then again, as God of Wales, I guess you have your minions doing all your client work for you.

   Nah, I’m just jesting. Liking the April edition. Thank God you didn’t pretend you’d sold your site to Microsoft for a six-figure sum or anything as unbelievable as that. Um..

   What 50s sci-fi movie poster did you get that header from? It looks vaguely familiar but I can’t place it… But then again, LOTS of those posters look vaguely familiar since hundreds of em were painted by one man (and everyone else copied him).

   Nice redesign,

   I’ve bumped you up to the top once again at cssbeauty…

   Keep up the good work.

   cheers.

   Too bad it isn’t a permanent redesign - I quite like it… :)

   Oh! I missed it :(

   Any chance you could put up a screenshot or a link to a page using the april style?

   I like it. Good job!

   You haven’t missed anything, you just didn’t properly refresh… it’s still here! I know that Andy is crazy, but he’s not that crazy to leave a redesign up for only 5 hours. ;)

    Looks great … I like the old design too, but why isn’t this permanent? Seems like a lot of trouble to go to for an April Fool scenario … ! Nice one.

    Wehey! It’s not even that bad.

    David, the best April Fool’s jokes are hard to do and last for not much longer than 24 hours. However, Andy, have you considered a styleswitcher?

    That "loose talk" pic makes it look like you’re about to pop a giant spot on your chin.

    Which is mildly distressing to me.

    Worryingly its quite cool, considering its suppoed to be a joke.

    Thats a lot of chin in the loose talk picture tho, you could probably get away with donating some to medical research, or recover your sofa with it :)

    Its good but https://www.schillmania.com/ is the best I’ve seen so far ;o)

    Oops. Now with clicky goodness. Schillmania.

    Craig C., the poster looks like it’s from the original War of the Worlds film, but you’re right, it could be anything from that era!

    Nice… but where’s Durstan?

    Haha… I could live with this. I actually really like it! +1 vote for permanentness >;)

    Wicked Worn is SO five minutes ago. Retro Movie Poster is so hot now that it’s almost old (following the premise that by the time something becomes "hot," it’s already "over").

    Yes, an improvement . . . I like the colour

    And with two taps of my heels, it was gone. Thanks for the kind words guys.

    As May will be the first anniversary of And All That Malarkey, there will be a full recode and design around that time. Until then, here is some light music.
