New Steamy Kitchen web design!

by SteamyKitchen on May 19, 2008 · 54 comments

I can’t wait to tell you about my visit with Martin, I’ve got a ton of photos plus a video to share with you showing off Martin’s awesomely talented knife skills. I just want to go on record and say, move over, Jackie Chan..the Yan man can carve a whole chicken in 18 seconds flat. one handed. blindfolded. and riding a unicycle. In fact, I think that Martin and his amazing cleaver deserves to star in a high-action video game. Simply put, this man rocks.

Oh yes, to answer your question, his accent is REAL. He totally made fun of me for even asking!

I haven’t had the chance to put together the post for Martin, cuz as you can see, I’ve spent my entire weekend remodeling Steamy Kitchen! Each time that I come up with a major SteamyKitchen.com redesign, I complain that CSS is the sound of brain matter leaking from my head. This blog coding is hard stuff!

In the end, though, I may not keep this design – it’s loading very very very slow – and I’m trying to figure out why the slideshow is lagging a few seconds before it works correctly.

So, please be patient while mama tries on this new dress! Give me a shoutout and tell me what you think. I’ve got more spiffy things to launch on the site, but it’s gonna take some time because if I have to edit the CSS, HTML, PHP or JS one more stinkin’ time, I might just HICCC: huddle in a corner and collapse with a armful of chocolate. Will you tell me how long it takes for the slideshow to render on your computer? Just hit refresh and count. It takes me about 4 seconds – which is 3 seconds too long for my opinion.

I’ve stayed up late the past 3 nights and tonight…Scott left me a trail of jello shots to lure me back to bed so I can get some rest.

Now that’s one sexy man.

Jaden, did you do all the coding for this new design yourself? Wow, your a graphic whiz! It looks great. I love it. Clean and fresh, just like your recipes! It doesn’t seem to take that long to load. But I have to admit I haven’t paid attention to the slide show. I just zoom into the great main photos.

I’m late on this because I was out of town and am still catching up! I love the new design, i love the floral pattern in the background a lot! And i love brown, so the header is perfect for my visual stimulation while reading. Nice job.
ps. i think my spam issues have been resolved!

Love your website, very informative. Love the slideshow, can you tell me what program you used to do it. I want to use it in our church website. Thanks much.
