Website Overhaul

by Chris on Feb.07, 2010, under Website Updates

My poor neglected website. Started in 2001 as a tool to learn website design (and also to circumvent a specific content filter), it quickly became my main outlet of expression. Some people had Livejournal or Geocities, I had this website. But over the years I’ve gotten into the habit of neglecting it.

So if i’m going to neglect it, why not just nuke the whole thing and start over? Good idea. Here’s the fallout:

I’ve removed all of my previous content. I may occasionally bring some of my old ramblings back with the ‘vintage’ tag, but for now, they’re gone.

Wordpress is now the global content manager for my website. Writing code is fun and all, but there are too many complexities in my life as it is. Simple and straightforward is better, let’s leave it at that.

New theme! Based on ‘pixel‘ by samk and slightly modified, of course. I like designing my own from scratch, but it’s just too much of a headache right now. Maybe I’ll get back into it when HTML5 takes off.

Facebook Revenge: oh, sweet facebook revenge. You’ve spammed me with Mafia Wars, Farmville and every quiz on earth, and now it’s my turn. Using the Wordbooker plugin, new posts will be syndicated to my facebook feed! Muhahahahaha!

So there’s where I stand. I’ll probably post again in the near future. Until then, check out a few of my current projects and let me know what you think:

    All I want to do on Facebook is keep up with friends and relatives to see how they are getting along with life. Every time I go to someone’s FB page their pages are just inundated with Farmville, Fish, Parks, Mafias, I sent you this gift, now send one back et al ad nauseum. Not all of us want to play these games, so …why can’t FB find a way to keep us from having to see this crap? They can redo their pages to include this. All I want to do is keep up with friends, and see how they are doing, not wade through the FB incited drivil! FACEBOOK, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
