21st of March. First day of Spring. Time for a new 5 Dollar Shake!

After 5 years, I present to you the fifth version of our little virtual space, this time without any radical changes, but a simpler version which I hope is more pleasant to the eye. Although the html is mostly a copy of the default Wordpress theme, I assure you the design and all the CSS are built from scratch. I even made my own little icons! And don’t tell me it shows.

New design aside, in an attempt to get a bit more organized, we have added some categories to help you find your way around our blog. Under the hood, 5 Dollar Shake has also been upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress, being version 1.5.

You will find the categories at your right, together with the latest comments, our picture gallery and lots of links. The “Donate” button has been removed, but we did keep our wishlists and ads at the bottom right. As always, you are more than welcome to buy us stuff, we really do appreciate it.

Also this time, the site has been made to work with Firefox and Safari. There might be some problems when viewing with Internet Explorer, but if you are still using that browser, I guess you don’t mind bugs that much.

The color scheme should look good on TFT screens but might be a bit dark on a CRT. I had to make a choice here and I opted for TFT. My apologies go out to those who still get their faces bombarded with electrons.

Don’t forget to point your rss reader to our new feed. Please feel free to comment on any of our posts and we are looking forward to hear your thoughts on our new look and feel.
