Orange Juice said it before. Rip it up and start again!
I’m really looking forward to implementing this new design I’ve got in the works. It makes me as happy as… something that is usually quite happy (I’m such a wordsmith) to know that, yes, soon, I will replace this horrible poorly thought of design.
I hate the old design. But that’s not a bad sign, at all. It means there is change. It means I am becoming developing as an individual.
No joke! Good artists hate their work too. Kafka wanted to burn his works. Luckily, they were not burned though.
The other thing is that the web changed a lot since two years ago. Creative use of Javascript only really started coming into the picture around two years ago and the social media is taking invading the TV as well (youtube clips and tweets being scrolled in the ticker on CNN). I don’t regret the old design. I simply know how to make it better.
Developing a theme (and touching up on some plugins) for WordPress has been an interesting experience overall, and very rewarding. They’ve made it simple to customize all the elements involved in making the theme work (except for those damn comments) and I salute them.
So off to a fresh start soon. And damn you, IE for making me work so hard.
