Front page is done with just a few details and artsy bits to finish off. Working on the off pages tonight. I’m making extensive use of transparent png files. It really adds so much to what we can do with design now. I’m also using the new tags for rounded corners, granted only Mozilla/Firefox and Safari 3 users are going to be able to see them but I see that as incentive to get a standards compliant browser (IE I’m looking at your slack ass here) that is making the new CSS3 and HTML 5 tags available.

They redesigned the Noblegarden event (fake Warcraft Easter) and added some silly bits. I have to say it’s been an interesting few days. Pic below..

My baby is growing up…
Comments OffMany years ago when I started blogging the first time around, the kid was a wee thing and had his own site as well. We both ran on Movable Type, and I prided myself on his cool Yugio and later Harry Potter layouts. His site was more for the grandparents and such, updates about school and fun games he found, little kid stuff, but it was a great way of getting him to write.
He gave up on it about some time ago, about the same time that I shut down my first blog. I’ve tried to get him interested again, because he has a great way of looking at the world, and he comes out with some insane shit that needs to be shared. In the last year, he’s set up a twitter account and does use it occasionally. I don’t follow him on mine but I do check it to see what he’s up to on occasion. He’s also following suit of many kids from school and has a facebook account.
A few weeks ago he asked us if he still had a web space because he wanted to try the whole blog thing again. We got him set up with a clean WordPress install, and he picked out a free theme he liked and got everything sorted. Likewise, I’m not going to link it here just yet. I’m curious to see what he comes up with. The cool part is he’s learning about coding and design in his computer class at school and I think part of this new interest is giving him a place to show off the things he’s working on for classes. The best part, is that he’s always been a writer. His teachers love his short stories, and he is constantly coming up with ideas. I’m hoping this will encourage him to share his work.

Can you tell? I’ve been fighting between keeping this thing semi anonymous as far as throwing actual names out there but I’m realizing that it really doesn’t matter at this point. I’m just going to keep at it the way I have been, and if some things happen, then they happen and I’ll deal with them later.
I will say that I love the guys over at WooThemes for their brilliant templates. There’s a lot to mess around with on the backend, but it’s getting to a point that I like the way it’s starting to look, and it definitely is faster than me trying to open a code window and blow things up on a regular basis. Everyone is happy this way, I don’t make my husband cry and I don’t pull my hair out and kick the kid.
The weather here is crap, so off to make tea and poke around in here some more. If you see something that doesn’t look to be working, let me know. (don’t mention the featured vid thing…I know :b)

moving things around
Comments OffI decided I want to change things around here, it’s a slow process but it’s going to get underway this week. I’m shifting some stuff on the back end now, and relocating the galleries to flikr. I’ve got a few bits to get sorted out, but I found some brilliant templates so I don’t have to be that creative on my own.
I’ve been debating getting back into making them myself, it was something I did for quite a while back in the day, but the annoyance of trying to get all working the way I want was and still is a pain in the arse. I may have a go at it, I’m not sure just yet, but I do know that I’m going to drop the red and pick up something else in the next few days.
