The Initial Sketch!
March 26th, 2008 - Design
Guess what! Been working on a re-design again, Oops! Never happy am I. Personally, this time I blame the over-saturation of nice websites from numerous CSS galleries, which I've had to catch up with while I was away, and the fact that my design has been up all of, say, 5 months or whatever it was.
