Minimalism Revisited

May 4th, 2009

Well, this site just got more tweaking today to make the theme feel a bit more “andr3w”. I’m pretty comfortable with it now, it will certainly still change, but I don’t think it will be all that much.

The theme that I based my theme on is called Minimalism and it was done by Christian Geneahr. In turn it was based on the classic Kubrick, a theme so widely used and appreciated, I would call it the “Pappy” of all Wordpress themes.

With Kubrick’s fine lineage, Christian was able to make quite a nice minimalist theme. It just needed a couple more refinements for me to feel totally comfortable with it and now that my changes are somewhat stable, it’s time for me to do my GPL duty.

So, without further adieu: Minimalism-Revisited.

Site Redesign

April 13th, 2009

Changed up the site a little. More to come, wanna try my hand at making the typography interesting.

I just thought the old design was a little over done, so thanks to the awesome theming capability of Wordpress… Here’s a new one.

Bad HTML

April 9th, 2009

Sorry to any visitors affected by the malformed site that cropped up due to my last post…

Old habits die hard, and I write too many of my posts in HTML only to have a missing quotation mark leave my page poorly rendered. I need to rely on the (fairly) excellent built in wordpress wysiwyg editor. At least until I write a proper, custom blog engine for this page…

The affected post has been fixed and you can now go about your business.

Wordpress Tweaks

January 22nd, 2009

Well, I spent an hour or two last night uploading a couple of plugins and playing with the CSS on the site. It’s amazing what you can do with just wordpress.org and a couple of hours.

The theme is (heavily) based on Oulipo by Mignolo. Maybe someday I’ll do my own custom theme, but for now, this’ll do; I’d rather be working on my other sites.

Wordpress

January 21st, 2009

Switched this blog from Mephisto to Wordpress, not a big migration yet, as there were only three posts to move.

Nothing against Mephisto, but I’d like to focus my efforts on my other site, and use Wordpress for this because it works well, and has a ton of plugin support to get the functionality that I want.
