New Design

// June 26th, 2010 // blog

Next to setting up my new photo-website, yet another thing on my list since long: to host my blog myself and change how it looks. Finally accomplished. I am happy how it integrates with my photos and also other features, such as the ‘lifestream’ with all sorts of my online activity that are automatically generated and nicely presented in one clean overview.

And after more than a year of css-editing, it took me less than some hours to make this theme ‘mine’. For the most part it also has the same look-and-feel as my photo-site that I worked on a couple of months ago: http://photos.robokow.net

The only challenge was to customize the front-page and change some of the features that came with the default theme Irresistible from WooThemes. For example, inside the customized home-page I had to replace the Flickr-widget with ZenPhotoPress, which turned out to be a lot easier than I thought.

There is still some other things on my list (a good overview of projects I am involved in, for example as in a portfolio) but we are getting closer.
