Redesign in progress

2009-03-28T12:00:00-04:00

I’ve finally started doing the redesign I’ve been promising for so long.

It’s not finished yet, so if you whinge about it not working in whatever stupid browser you’re using then I’ll just laugh at you :p

TODO:

Finish the background (cloning & dodging & burning etc. to make it tile horizontally)
Get the skipnav thinger workign better
Funky JavaScript animation
Print CSS
Sekrit awesome stuff that will blow your freakin mind (if I ever finish it)
Spinning bits
Bacon

Fun bits:

Using HTML5 properly (aww yeah)
Liquidy-proportional-whatever layout so you can stalk me on your iPhone or your 36inch 29000×4282 monitor or whatever

linz.id.au, now with more Enki!

First off: apologies if you just got your feed reader flooded with old posts, I was hoping to avoid that :|

Almost 1 year & 5 months after saying I was redesigning, I’ve finally taken the first step (well, zeroth, really).

I had started redoing the HTML & CSS, but Mephisto was a pain in the arse to do anything with. I was intending to roll my own CMS, but kept on getting sidetracked.

After recommendations from a bunch of peeps I’ve started using Enki, there have been a few snags getting started – migration from Mephisto didn’t seem to work, weird errors in the admin section – but I’ve managed to move all my old posts & comments over with the time-honoured copy & paste content migration technique.

So far Enki has been freakin’ awesome to customise – adding a ‘tagline’ was as easy as sticking it in the config file & whacking a config[:tagline] in my layout.

Hopefully redesigning will be just as easy – I’ve already got HTML templates & the CSS all done, so it should just be a matter of sticking it in.

I had also managed to completely break the admin section of Mephisto & couldn’t post any more, so hopefully I’ll actually start posting a bit more now :p
