I guess he just couldn't stay away

You might remember how John Oxton decided 'over night' to call it quits. I was really surprised about this, mosty because this is by far the best blog design I've seen so far ( aldo a recent attempt to copy this look came pretty close ). But after reading a few other blogs I saw what his motivations for leaving the blogging world were. But like a good soap opera, the story didn't end there. I recently took another look at his site, while I was on the hunt for some good design ideas, and saw new posts. I guess he did think it over and decided to let his voice be heard again.

Now you may be wondering what the hell the point is I am trying to get to with this, and the short answer is, none, I just wanted to write DO NOT in big letters.

John. Crazy...most of the time :)

I see. If somebody's been calling you crazy, you just got to know, huh? :))

Miha, is it just me or you have a really bad subpixel rendering (ugly looking text)? Turn on the ClearType for christ sake. Johns site (text) looks waaay prettier on my machine than I see on your screenshot. Just a tip ;)

Mark, I don't really know what you mean. It looks just fine and dandy on my LCD and CRT. I didn't change any settings in Photoshop, so I don't really know what you mean.

Does anybody else see it like Mark?

Oh, sorry. Here's what I meant with cleartype -> http://waveride.net/blog_old.php?blog_id=93

Thanks Mark. I'll try to use it on future screens of pages :)
