I’m in the serious mood for change here, again, so don’t be surprised if the site looks different from visit to visit. I want this site to convey a more ‘professional’ feel than it currently does, and this is going to take some work. I’m looking around online for some examples of what I consider Good Blog Pages, and I’ll learn from their example.
If you haven’t already noticed one fun little change, I implore you to press the ‘refresh’ button. The header at the top has changed from my placeholder image to a more interesting breed of fish altogether. I’ve become line-art! Whee! :) It was fun to do, too, and didn’t take all that long. Which means I’ll probably redo it a couple of times until I get it just the way I want it.
The colors will be changing from minute to minute. The buttons at the top and side of the page will be getting facelifts. The ‘Blogs’ section has already moved down the list, and ‘News’ and ‘My Links’ are soon to take a long walk off a short pier and disappear entirely. I’ll also likely be giving up my illustrious and (albeit generally successful) pompous dream of having all my scripts self written. I want to move the site from its entirely Perl-driven base to a more PHP/MySQL base, and I haven’t the expertise to do it with my own code. I’ll be deciding on new blog software shortly.
I’ve no true method behind my madness, but I do have a motive. I’m considering starting to offer my services as a web-guy to professors on campus… doing what I love for money, in other words. It hit me, quite recently, that I have friends with less HTML experience making money writing wepbages. Why aren’t I? That’s the question I couldn’t answer, and the situation I’m going to try and resolve. The first step in all this, in my mind, is having a website I can truly be proud of. One that looks professional. One that people can look at and admire.
So bear with me, please, and offer any and all comments. :) Current look, possible future looks, out-there ideas… all are fair game. Otherwise, I’ll just continue on with my personal recode-and-pray method of renovation.
