DamnRalph gets a face lift

I've been working on a new design now for a couple of weeks and I finally got it to where I am really happy with the design.  I wanted to go for a simplified look and get rid of the big boxy feel of my previous design.

I spent alot of time writing some awesome jQuery to get the site to be a little interactive and to output the HTML exactly the way I wanted it.

I am using three plug-ins:
  • FX Shadow plugin - I grabbed this right from the respository as they fixed the bug that would of hindered my use of the plugin.. click on Contact or Subscribe or any of the Blog Posts by links to see the shadow plugin in use.
  • Rounded Corners - used them for the areas on the right.
  • Chili - Chili is a automatic code syntax highlighter.
example:

<html> <head>  <title>test</title> </head> <body>    Hello World! </body> </html>

Anyway, let me know what you think.  I only have one more planned feature and that is to pull in my latest twitter update and display it using AJAX.  Just need to figure that out.
