Badly in Need of a Reformat
Cats: Blog, Internet, Personal, Tech|As my online presence expands to include Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Amazon wish list, and my shop on CafePress, (along with the occasional Stickam live video), I am finding that this current blog format is not quite cutting it for me. I need a portal that includes all of the above in a reasonably appropriate design. I also need to develop an online portfolio for my soon-to-be-burgeoning freelance web/graphic design career.
I’ll probably stick with WordPress (though I need to upgrade to the latest version), but the template is just not meeting my needs. This being my final semester in my web design program, my final project is probably going to include putting together a new WordPress template. So I’ll probably use that experience (along with the Flash programming experience I’ll have by the end of the semester) to start from scratch.
If you have tried visiting this blog regularly and wonder why I don’t update more often, it’s because I’ve been posting links and notes over there. If you know me personally, become my friend on Facebook, and you’ll see a lot more activity there. If you don’t know me well enough to befriend me on Facebook (I try to keep it to actual acquaintances), here’s another option: I’m also becoming more active on Twitter, so follow me there if you like. While I haven’t touched FriendFeed, my sources tell me that you may be able to aggregate all the stuff that I post everywhere. While that’s a fairly scary thought, I don’t suppose I can stop you.
I went ahead and posted a Twitter widget here and a YouTube widget on my Video page (click the Video tab above). I don’t think anything else will be changing here before, say, May. But who knows. You may want to keep your eyes open.
