I appologize for the fact that working on the new ThinkingPHP layout/app is keeping me so busy and I'll try to keep the post flow going as good as possible until the relaunch happens. But this post *ducks* is about the new design again.

Most of you probably have seen the first preview version I talked about a while ago. In the past days I've tried to fix some of the issues people pointed out with it and started to create a HTML/AHAH prototype of the site.

Right now the page has only been tested to render properly in Firefox 1.5.04 and IE still has some problems with the right navigation and the logo position. But since over 70% of my readers (I'm very proud of that number ^^) are using firefox anyway, I would be happy if you would check out the new prototype and let me know what you think about it. Any criticism or suggestions would be highly appriciated ; ).

One major change you might notice is a new item in the top navigation called "Projects". After the relaunch, this will become my personal kind of Source(/Cake)Forge where all of my coding snippets / projects are listed. There will be the option for people to discuss the code, request support, report bugs and get notified of changes via RSS / or email. I'll also try to provide some documentation for my code in future.

The relaunch will also include 1 (or maybe more) new php open source projects I'm working on right now. One of them is a light-weight Image library (based on GD 2.x) called Kaizhi which will support multi-layered images and other neat things like the dynamic creation of animated gif's (which works already).

Alright, enough talk, make sure you check out the new design version and stay tuned for my next non-SiteNews post ; ).
