New Month, New Look - Part 2

Well I guess if you are reading this you will notice that I have returned to the old boots of Electric Weekend. I am using the theme which Ben coded for me, although I am making a few changes to it. The portfolio section, which to be honest never got off the ground, has gone and the asides (or my creative spark) have been replaced with the Linkage from the Pink October theme. I felt these links gave me more of a flowing content and represented more of my creative sparks, they are as ever, supplied by Ma.gnolia.com.

The other slight change is in the header. It has shrunk a little bit, well rather a lot, its less than half the height it was before and yes at the moment it is empty! I felt this was a necessary change as before the header was very large and meant the content was pushed down the page. The content is of course the most important part of a blog, and so I have decided to make it more visible fromt he off. Something will appear in the header although I am yet to work out what, maybe my name as before, but chances are it will be something different.

I also have to work out what I am going to use a couple of other elements for. Well, when I say couple of elements I mean the sidebar in the archives and about page. The about page one could be easy to develop, maybe including some links to my other areas of the internet such as facebook and last.fm, the archives one could be a little more tricky. There are also little bits of the sidebar that need tweaking as well, mainly in the way the links in my creative spark are being displayed, they seem a little seperate from the rest of the site at the moment.

If this sounds like a massive re-design then you would be wrong, not a lot of the site is going to change, it will pretty much be as it was when the theme was originally developed, I guess you could say this is more of a realignment. Keep your eyes peeled as I begin to tweak elements of it etc.

Honestly, I like this better than the one I was working on. ;). It looks also like this iteration will be easier for you to update. That portfolio thing you had was crazy hard to code :D.

Ha, yeh sorry about that! The portfolio part never really came to fruition so I abandoned it. Simple is always better! I’m still tweaking it, and would love to upgrade to 0.9 just don’t have the time. I also like the way your site is evolving, it slowly seems to be coming your own version of Cutline!
