redesign
So I’ve been working this weekend on a new redesign of my blog, as you may have noticed. I’ve still got a few things I need to work out, some links that don’t function right and stuff like that. But so far so good. The cool thing about this design is that I put it together myself. I did have some help from a site called wpdesigner.com, and granted it isn’t overly complex, but I still feel a nice sense of accomplishment. Mostly I wanted to do it to get my feet wet with PHP, the language used to build most of the page you are looking at. Already there are a few things I was able to improve over the previous version of the site. For instance, on the old version, when you clicked on the photo link at the top of the page, it took you to a temporary page that executed a line of html that then automatically forwarded you over to my flickr site. Well, that link now goes directly to flickr because I figured out where those links are generated. Anyway, I’ll keep tweeking it a bit more and eventually I’ll probably add some cool new stuff as I get more comfortable with PHP and what CSS controls what. Now though I’ve gotta go shoot a show at The Abbey. At least tonight it is a friend I know!
