Site Refresh!

Web design makeover

Well, the new site is here. While it doesn’t look very different, there are a lot of changes under the hood. Previously, the site was created in Dreamweaver. Any changes that I made to the site, like blog updates, were made in Dreamweaver and uploaded to the Internet. That is so 2008.

The new site is runs on the WordPress platform. Now I can log in to my site from any Internet enabled device and make updates or upload my stuff. Widgets automatically inject my Twitter feed into my site, and also allow viewers to see a link to my latest posts in the sidebar. Everything is much more dynamic, which saves me time when I’m updating my blog.

I have also decided to move my galleries from Flash to jQuery. While I liked the reliability and interactivity of my galleries in Flash, I was restricted to using smaller photos. Additionally, the Apple’s unwillingness to support Flash on some of its products hurt the usability of the site. That is no longer a problem with the JavaScript galleries and I hope those of you with iPhones and iPads will enjoy my work.

So, what do you think of the refresh?
