More about-stuff
It’s getting close to five in the morning and I’m having a little bout with insomnia, and that usually means that I’m planted in front of the screen. But there are worse things you can do than spending the night at the pc with a nice cup of coffee.
Since I can’t come up with any real content right now, I thought I’d write a bit about the site and its creation. Maybe someone finds it interesting. Overall, I enjoyed setting the site up. Firstly, I think WordPress seems like a great piece of software. It has all the functionality I can Imagine, and then some, and is really nice to manage. I havn’t had to consult the documentation much, but there seems to be a well-organized wealth of it.
The current theme is a quite modified version of Connections from www.vanillamist.com. Not that I liked it in its original form (going to add that when I get around to adding a theme choser), but I liked the layout so it was a good starting point for me. I’m not that literate when it comes to stuff like XHTML and CSS, so I focused on images and some stylesheet tweaking.
CSS is something I got determined to learn more about after working on this design, though. Last time I made a more advanced web layout the common method was to use tables, invisible gifs to make the tables behave, and occult rituals to ensure compatibility with more than one browser. That was a while ago, and good things have happened since.
