Syrup & Tang's 4th anniversary and time for a new look

Duncan — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 23:11:17 +0000

Time flies when you're busy eating delectable things and making biscuits. I'm marking four years of Syrup & Tang by changing the look a bit (the last time was two year back). I hope my readers like the new design and continue to enjoy my writings.

If you notice anything that's not working well, please leave a comment here or email me. There are still a few minor changes to implement this week, so keep an eye out for them.

Update about ways to read Syrup & Tang

Hello readers new and old (as in preserved, loyal, not dusty or neglected). This post is just a brief reminder of the various ways you can read Syrup & Tang, Macarons by Duncan, and The Gastronomer's Bookshelf online.

Technical note

I've had to make some technical changes to the site because my bandwidth quota is being consumed too quickly. If you notice any images that aren't loading, please drop me a line or leave a message here. (But I hope everything is going smoothly.)

Two years of Syrup & Tang… it's an anniversary!

Who'd have thunk it would come to this: hundreds of hits for the word "macaron" (and many nice comments)? When I started Syrup & Tang two years ago, I set the scene with the things I love: books, travel, a moan about dining out, and (somewhat belatedly) baking. Come inside for a little bit of a "that was two years, thank you, what's coming now?"

A few news items

Busy, busy, busy. That's been the past few months. Some of the activity has been on a new site, some on a few tweaks to Syrup & Tang, and a whole pile of unfoodieness has been keeping me away from food and cookbooks. This must stop! Here's a small update for the curious.

A new look for Syrup & Tang

Dear Readers: Behold! syrupandtang version 2.0. Yes, there's been an aesthetic overhaul. Although I was fond of the old design, there were a few problems with it - especially because so many people still use Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) - I can see this from the site statistics. IE6 is an unsafe browser which doesn't comply with web standards. If you are using Windows XP, pleeeease upgrade to IE7. The older version refuses to do things which just about every other browser (Firefox, Opera, Safari) manages successfully. :)

I hope you like the new look of syrupandtang. It will, hopefully, work for everyone.

Syrup & Tang goes live

Welcome, gentle reader, to syrupandtang. The beauuuuutiful design is the result of many long, hot summer days and long, grumpy late nights over the last four months. You do find it beauuuuuutiful don't you? (This is a rhetorical question.) The site will probably need a few tweaks as I discover things I missed or decide that I don't find some features beauuuuuutiful enough.
