New year, new website!

For various reasons I wasn’t happy with the layout of the last website, it looked nice but didn’t really work as a blogging machine or as a presentation of the things I do.  The mechanics behind the scenes worked well enough though so I wanted to keep them but update the front end.  What you’re looking at is the result of that update.

We’ve not got a single page blog style, showing full posts in chronological order, with the option to view archives or by category.  Categories have also been reduced to make it easier to read all the content in a area without having to check out two or three pages.

A Portfolio system allows me to present the websites I designed and also other projects, including my maker builds.  This page style could have other uses as well in the future and I’m very happy with it.

Finally we have the classic pages, with a nicer lay out.  I’ve taken some of these off-line as they could be better presented using other page layouts.  As I get time to update them I’ll bring them back online.  Tortoise cam remains so I can spy on the pebble.

I may have a wee fiddle with the colour scheme in the next few weeks but over all I’ve very happy with it.  Now it’s (mostly) complete I can get on with documenting all the real world things I’ve been doing, building aeroplanes and antimatter detectors!
