Bob and David and Humble

mouseFor over a year I've been trying to get Humble Howard to tell me what look he likes for his blog. We modelled a look that resembled the cover of his book "The Slime That Men Do" but it's been in need of refreshing for a while now.

My recent entry about David Cross got Humble to visit http://www.bobanddavid.com/ and that's when Humble realized the look he likes. He likes the clean, simplified look and feel of Bob and David's site, so I went about mimicking that style for HumbleHoward.com.

Ok, I didn't mimic it. I essentially stole large chunks of the HTML and CSS and made modifications from there. Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, I'm admitting I didn't reinvent the wheel on this one and remember, imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

Check out the new HumbleHoward.com when you get a chance. It's still a work in progress, I still have some fine tuning to do, but you'll already see the uncanny resemblance.

I was just there and commented that I was a little iffy about it, mainly because I thought the Slime book should stand out more for the months of February.

oh ya I was all over that, sending e-mails to him to find out what was going on. I do like the new look, but you have to forewarn us of
Men at Work ~ don't freak us out like that.

I commented there but thought i should go straight to the source. Too sparse. I like it clean but that's antiseptic if you know what I mean. It needs to look more lived in.

Jason, I don't think promoting the Slime book is a high priority right now.

SoccerMom, I got rid of the "A Subsidiary of Toronto Mike Inc." tagline so you won't freak out.

James, it's pretty damn clean right now, but I think after I beef up the sidebar with some images and stuff it will look a little more colourful. The bobanddavid.com site is pretty antiseptic too, so I think that's what Howie's digging.
