Well here is version 2 of my website.
I am no designer, but desiging intrigues me. It’s such a subjective thing, and you can never let go. So a way for me to let go was to stop all the fiddling around and just call it quits and upload.
It’s not completed yet, but launching it is one way that will get me to do the work. Sidebar may need a little more work, and maybe some color from this color blind person. Imagery needs some work, these are the only images I have on this computer, and won’t have access to my desktop for sometime. or until I start using sony dsc-p200 camera a little more.
Page weight has also been reduced by approx. 1/2 and the same with css and js files.
I have gone away from the Javascript fading images, and moved towards random images served up via php.
Another big change for me was using pixels for font size. I really wrestled with this, but you know what this is a personal blog, and IE really really doesn’t have this right. Ofcourse there are going to be some people, who would want to resize fonts, and are using IE shrug ... working on a style switcher …
I still have parts of the old site I like. The javascript fade was pretty cool, but was unfair to have users with slower connections download all those image. Creating icons was also a lesson that took some great frustrations, but they turned out ok.
I have archived old homepage here.
