To all my Twitter followers, and those not yet following me:
Twitter lets you change your user name, so I did. Instead of the very long and misspelled “urbaneexistance,” I am now @jamessocol.
Shorter, easier to remember, more meaningful.
If you were following me, Twitter says you still should be, no worries. This is one 2.0-mistake I can correct easily.
I am attempting to stave off full-blown carpal tunnel syndrome.
I’ll try to line up a guest post but I will be avoiding typing as much as possible for a little while.
I made myself sit down today and finish work on the blog design. I am very happy with how it came out. Read the rest of this article »
I’m (finally) working on the new theme. It’s obviously a work-in-progress, so just appreciate the effort for now.
I’m starting with the default WordPress theme by Michael Heilemann. I’m not going to lie: I really dislike this particular theme. Read the rest of this article »
Of course, as soon as I get around to doing the redesign, I decide I don’t quite like it.
I’ve decided to reorganize this site and another one, to separate the blog/webzine-type sections and the professional/portfolio-type sections.
The two will still be pretty closely related and linked, but I think it will make a little more sense, and allow some more interesting design choices on the blog side of things. I’m looking forward to doing something a little out of my comfort zone.
But, this isn’t going to happen too soon. I just started classes again, and I want to build a custom blog/CMS (and possibly release it).
At first I was going to use Wordpress, but I want more overall control over the structure and organization. So after deciding exactly how I want to organize both the site itself and the underlying code, and then actually doing it, there will be not one, but two interesting sites to visit.
Should be fun.
