At last we’ve managed to tidy up FormFiftyFive! We’ve shortened the list of categories, simplified the type in colour and weight, taken away everything unnecessary and added our little spread the love button! The new K2 template is working great, my favourite feature is the drop down archives menu that appears when you scroll down!
A huge thank you to Alex Nelson for helping us so much with the re-design! He’s one of three new authors to join FFF this month. Also joining us are Eddy McGowan (who we’ve linked a couple of times) and Mark Ferguson, who’s a pretty excellent designer from Manchester!
We now have 12 revolving headers that use our Fs, I’m looking into getting some extra Fs made to send around the world to be photographed and featured in our header! If you got a nice idea of where to shoot the F let us know and we might send one to you.

Nice one Glenn. I am quite fond of the dropdown archives feature

Same here! Did you try and drag the slider? The trim feature is pretty handy as well if you’re looking for a specific post and you don’t want to load all the images.
Although we had some comments that it doesn’t work so well in IE?
If anyone is having problems using the archives toolbar let us know

Hey Glenn, Nice work on the updates! I’ll take some F’s to Sydney and spread the word if you like, will also be in Hong Kong and Tokyo.

Welcome guys. Liking the redesign – subtle in places but really feels like FFF is maturing like a fine wine – taking on it’s own personality beyond the standard wordpress.
Still waiting on that “mad skills” button? Haha

That’s next on my list! Although I think you’ll find the technical term is “skillz”
Seriously though, if anyone has any ideas about functionality they’d like to see on the site, drop us a line on hello@formfiftyfive.com and I’ll see what I can do!

I could photograph the Fs somewhere in NY for you? I have a few ideas.
And I don’t mean in Times Square or at the Flat Iron building.

Sounds good Kate! Once I get them made I’ll send one over. Won’t happen any time soon though I’m afraid. Swamped with work at the moment!
