Site Realignments and New Work

It’s been a busy few months and I’ve finally made it back to doing some work on my own site. I’ve made some small adjust­ments to the layout—removing the third col­umn side­bar and replac­ing it on the left with a smaller col­umn for dates. The whole lay­out was realigned to a 12-​​column grid and some small typo­graphic changes were made to side­bar and post text. You’ll also notice a more stream­lined four-​​option nav­i­ga­tion menu.

The biggest changes came to my port­fo­lio sec­tion which got a com­plete face-​​lift. Each project now has a detail page and the main work sec­tion shows project thumb­nails, books, arti­cles and tuto­ri­als I’ve writ­ten both here and else­where.

In the midst of all this, I also have some new work to talk about. At the begin­ning of the month I rolled out new a design for The Cre­ative Career, a mar­ket­ing and career blog/​podcast writ­ten by my girl­friend Allie. She gave me a great logo and color scheme to work with and I think the end result turned out amaz­ing. I also used this oppor­tu­nity to sneak in some Webkit and Fire­fox–only CSS good­ness in the form of rounded cor­ner but­tons and links and some cool hover tran­si­tions. If you’re brows­ing with either Fire­fox or Safari—check it out.
