I managed to dredge up materials on all but Oddball 1 -- which I don't even remember at all, oddly enough -- and although some of them are crummy Photoshop playgrounds, they ought to be good enough with some finessing. Might be a fun exercise. Ha, that's a lonnnng time in the future before I can reference D84! Actually, the Miles Fothergill reference will only have to wait 'till the next redesign, since he was the chap who played SV<b>7</b>. I guess that would work if I called it "Super Oddball" or whatever, hee. I may try to run with that screencap history idea, actually.

Ha, that’s a lonnnng time in the future before I can reference D84! Actually, the Miles Fothergill reference will only have to wait ’till the next redesign, since he was the chap who played SV7. I guess that would work if I called it “Super Oddball” or whatever, hee.

It'd look better than my old stuff, that's for certain! As an aside, I can't wait for the 84th incarnation of Oddball Update so you can make a long-awaited D84 reference. Or perhaps some sort of "Miles Fothergill" reference. I’d be very interested in a screencap history of your site, that’s for sure. It’d look better than my old stuff, that’s for certain!

I went through a couple of different masthead image ideas before settling on that one. In the end I wanted it to look like an aged photograph, but sorta newsprint-like at the same time. Photo-realism was too distracting so I went for the high-contrast look, and dulled it even further with the "Note Paper" filter. I'm still tweaking little things here and there as I get feedback (or change my mind on the fly), but I'm happy to have something new online. I certainly don't fault you for your recurring wishes to redo your own site, as I seem to experience the same thing! In fact I was thinking of adding something similar to what you have done, and include a screen cap of the various early revisions of this site's design. Only problem is, I don't have some of them anymore. :) Thank you very much! I went through a couple of different masthead image ideas before settling on that one.
