Website Upgrade: More Good Stuff

So another site upgrade has come to pass.

Yay!!

If you haven’t visited in a while (or on your first visit of course),
what’s all this talk of change about then?

  • New template (the layout file for any website). Best part of this upgade is it’s easier to spot what is what (and where).
  • Moved the menu bar into the header (film strip area), freeing a line of space up top. Is now mucho nice for the eyes  too.
  • FIXED THE SEARCH! You can now search fotos and words equally.
  • More use of the NextGen Gallery plugin to manage fotoss, and show them in style.
  • Found a layout for the Foto Words that I can be proud of, as part of this awesome template no less!
  • General warm, yet sharp, update of the site ‘feel’. We’re going for a modern retro motif here…
  • Retired the sunset banner after 5 years online. The old girl will be fondly missed.
  • Got rid of the boxed layout that was somewhat dragging visibility down. Look, rating stars that were there for a month!
  • Now 50% more mellow yellow. Mmmmmm, yellow-licious…
  • Backstage cleaning of dead pages, optimizing site mechanics, boring admin.
  • The Foto Shop is coming, the Foto Shop is coming!
  • Added the Facebook ‘like’ button, please do feel free to use it if you happen to … you know, like something.
  • Also now a widget for ‘liking’ and easily finding my F’book fan page. Woot indeed.

So, in fact mostly little changes, and a few not so little.

I’m happy to say some of the final touches should be good towards everyone enjoying this site fully. Until moving to a WordPress setup last year, I messily was coding a very large part of my website’s operational history, for no reason other than I speak well with computers. That means this isn’t just an in-and-out jump in quality, but simply another step in getting things across to you the easiest for everyone.

What’s to come?

  • Further tweaks to the layout, to be all smooth with that shit.
  • A Foto Focus area for expanded projects, books, large happenings.
  • Most importantly, improvement of the 2nd menu (bottom) on all pages. Small but critical addon to open up navigation.
  • More good things.

Oh, and fotos. Lots and lots and lots of fotos. I *have* been holding out on you.

I’ve been fixing my website…

This post is either a Foto Feature or a Foto Article. If you enjoyed the words, why not check out my Foto Work too?
