    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>The design of <a href="http://pingv.com">the pingVision site</a> was driving me crazy.</p>
<p><img src="http://rarepattern.com/system/files/screenshot+pingv+20070201+old+design.jpg" alt="pingVision, the old view" title="This design was meant to be temporary" /></p>
<p>It really wasn't supposed to be the actual site design, but rather a temp theme to be cleaned up and spiffed up a bit. 18 or 20 months later (I actually don't know exactly how much later) I finally got around to replacing it.</p>
<p><img src="http://rarepattern.com/system/files/pingvision+new+20070204.jpg" alt="pingVision, the new view" title="This design has been left half-completed since November" /></p>
<p>It's certainly different. Cleaner. Simpler. Too simple?</p>
<p>I'd started on this new design several months ago, but left the theme half-done in order to focus on client work. Finally I just had to spend a weekend tinkering with it to get it live on the site.</p>
<p>This really was more of a starting over from scratch on the whole template, rather than just a CSS reboot. There might be some bugs in it -- I have yet to see it in IE7, and IE6 worked yesterday, but I made some changes since -- but there it is, in an unofficial live beta. Still to do (aside from debugging): update it and the site to Drupal 5, and update some of our main pages.</p>
<p>So what do you think?</p>
<p>It doesn't really seem right to add our own website design to our own portfolio so this is probably the only place I'll post this.</p>
