I’m working on a re-design of the layout. I’ve decided that for the amount of content I put into each post, it doesn’t make much sense to have a two-column layout like I currently have.

So I’m working on a more modern looking, yet fun design. I really like it, even though I’ve been staring at it for what seems like eons. It’s somewhat colorful, yet techy-looking with the rounded corners that seem to be popping up everywhere. My skills in CSS have definitely been put to the test as I’ve been converting this Photoshop layout to HTML. But I’m close to pushing it out. Right now I’ve loaded it up in the Textpattern install on my Mac, so I can get my templates all set up. Then it’s just a matter of uploading the images and a bit of copy and paste.

I’m also going back to working on a redesign of Amelia’s photo gallery, which has been on hold for a while. I was trying to go for a fluid design but for some reason it’s just not working the way I want, so it might have to be a bit more static. Which is fine, but it means I’ll have to redo some of the CSS. Then I have to finish the pages and the programming since the site uses php and the Flickr API to generate the gallery. Still at a loss as to what the name will be. I’ll have to ask the family and see what they think.
