Hello. Callistonian.net is my stomping ground on the Internet. Here, I post a potpourri of things - this place is a little random. I'm Chantelle: a 23 year old foreign language, law, and history obsessed girl.

Cecily von Ziegesar’s Gossip Girl #1
Gossip Girl revolves around the lives of privileged teens living in New York City’s Upper East Side. The vast majority of GG’s protagonists are spiteful and superficial: they are as deep as the ink on paper after a girl signs her name with a Montblanc fountain pen.

New-ish Layout

This design isn’t that much different from the last one… but it is a change. Version 15 was up for months and months! So I decided that come April, I must put up something different.

Here you have it: Ta da! :) I hope that you like gray and pink as much as I do.

I haven’t updated Colophon+ yet, but let me know what you think about this design. Thanks. :D

EDIT: I changed the background because people complained about it being too pink…

EDIT 2: I changed the font and I changed the background again because people complained about it blinking(?)

It was the Comic Sans that gave it away. :P

I was about to cry when I saw comic sans. You almost got me :P

So it really IS and April’s Fools joke… the header is not that bad… meaning it could be worse, but the background is disgusting. LOL @ Comic Sans MS

Why is it sporadically flashing? WHY IS THERE COMIC SANS? THIS IS TOO HORRIFIC EVEN FOR A FOOL. :(

Comic Sans, blinking backgrounds… gee, why does it SUPER feel like April Fools’ Day?

Posted by: Chien Yee · April 1st, 2008 at 1:57 am · #

LOL. Gotta love the Snark comments about this layout. XD

Posted by: Rilla · April 1st, 2008 at 2:28 am · #

I LOVE IT! :D

OH MY GOSH I LOVE IT!

*sulks* You deleted my comment… well now it’s…. WAIT: is it just me or the layout BLINKS … periodically.

Oh … oh… *dies*

Vera, I didn’t delete any comments. :) Sometimes comments get stuck in moderation… for like a day because of WordPress. It’s to stop spam.

Oooh! It’s very stripy! :P

I really like this pink and gray look. But yeah, the side bars blink. Also, I might rethink the black backing on the titles. They look blocky. Super though. I love that you update the look so frequently. Happy April Fool’s Day. (Ha! The side bars are blinking because it’s April 1st. That’s the only logical answer.)

THE BACKGROUND IS BLINKING AT ME! I’ve never had a staring contest with a Web page background before, but I think I’m winning.

Posted by: Jordie · April 1st, 2008 at 7:45 am · #

This is very nice. I love the way it causes me slight seizures. It quite literally can knock me on my butt with its greatness!!! *passes out*

Posted by: Aisling · April 1st, 2008 at 7:48 am · #

Woah different style! Kudos for experimenting. Is background supposed to be flashing every once in a while?

Posted by: Belinda · April 1st, 2008 at 9:43 am · #

OMG… April Fools. -_-

To think I was hoping to get through this year without being fooled once. Bah.

Posted by: Belinda · April 1st, 2008 at 10:11 am · #

I don’t really like pink, but it’s way better than your other crappy layout. I’d take a blinking background over that bland thing any day. You’re definitely improving at this web dezine thing!

Posted by: Kaylee · April 1st, 2008 at 2:56 pm · #

Beautiful. Comic Sans FTW!

Posted by: Clem · April 1st, 2008 at 3:21 pm · #

ZOMG! Wow, it’s just so breathtaking :P. Happy April Fools to you to! When I first entered the site I thought that you had lost your mind, but then I put the pieces together and I figured out that it was a trick! Muhahaha! The blinking backgroung is starting to get to me btw :P!

Posted by: Yara · April 1st, 2008 at 6:01 pm · #

Wow.. I really do love pink and gray together!! Right when I read your Edit 2, I was thinking WTF blinking?!? But then the background blinked really quickly; I can’t even explain it… anyways happy April Fools!!!

Posted by: Brianna · April 1st, 2008 at 7:40 pm · #

The background’s STILL blinking? It’s kind of creeping me out now…

Posted by: Ramsha · April 1st, 2008 at 8:16 pm · #

Aha! I ALMOST fell for it! *feels smart*

Posted by: Regina · April 1st, 2008 at 9:31 pm · #

The first thing I thought when I came to your site today was, “Is she serious?” 0_o

Then I remembered the date.

Dude….did the background just flash??

Posted by: Kiera · April 1st, 2008 at 9:58 pm · #

omg Chantelle dear… I’m having a seizure! Look, it’s April 2nd already <3

Posted by: Lene · April 2nd, 2008 at 12:37 am · #

I missed the prank :(

Fortunately I missed it, though. I would’ve died of ComicSansMS disease.
