The last few days I have been working on making some major updates to the site. The biggest being the header. I think the new one has a cleaner look, utilizing a picture I took awhile back to use as my avatar for various social network sites and forums. My background is I.T., and for many years I did side work doing websites, while working closely with a graphic artist. While I don’t have the funds to pay a graphic artist to design my site, I knew I could do better. There was also a lot of unfinished aspects of the site that had been bugging me since I brought it up, and just haven’t taken the time to fix it. The theme I am using is custom, with me doing my own html, css, and php for it. I did use one of the built-in themes as a starting point, but there is very little of the original theme left in it.
The site updates include:
- New header
- Some color changes
- Cleaned up comment layout
- Cleaned up some of the side bar elements
- New About Me page
- Update page and individual post layout, now match rest of site
- Fixed paging issues
- Improved menu layouts
- An indicator in the header when my stream is up
- Various other CSS elements cleaned up
As always, if there is anything you would like to see on my blog, comment, and let me know!
