‘Twas bout time I got a hold of myself and got this blog together. I’ve been sitting on this domain for over a year and even before I registered it I had plans to put a blog together.
I put this “design” together some 5 months ago, when I had a lot of free time after moving to London from Helsinki, Finland. I’m sure many graphics designers can find alot of issues with it, but alas, I’m not a graphics designer, but a code monkey. I juggled different blog software for a while as well, but never actually got to converting the layout to a site. I finally decided to go with Wordpress, mostly because everyone uses it and there are lots of plugins available if I need ‘em. Then I started to have a life in London and the free time died down and creating a blog alongside with it.
But now, after many months, I decided to grab myself by the scruff of the neck and breathe new life to the comatose blog project. And after a day of tinkering what you see is the result. Not too bad, even if I do say so for my self. There are still some issues, but I’m ironing them out.
I decided I wanted stylized blog-post headers so I created them with Flash. I had to create a few custom functions in Wordpress in order to get the data I wanted correctly formatted and entered into the flashvars of the header swfs. Other than that, it was a breeze.
It’s done now, the fox is out of the bag.
Let’s see how far it can run.
