Wordpress transition and re-design

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

Well, we’re almost there.  WordPress is up and running (well).  The re-design has been mostly fleshed out and seems functional.  There’s still a lot of tweaking to do for aesthetic purposes, and the sidebar is largely untouched by CSS, so that will change too.  IE7 needs some hand-holding, and I haven’t even looked at IE6 yet.  I’m sure it’s a real mess.  Safari looked decent (on Windows… thanks to the new beta!), and I haven’t checked Opera.

I’m pretty happy with the color scheme and the few graphics.  I like the nice open, airy layout.  Much less “confining” than my previous MovableType templates.  WordPress is a DREAM to code for in comparison.  Getting the site to validate as XHTML Strict on MT would have taken an act of God.  WordPress offered me no resistance at all.  Hopefully in the next few days I’ll have her all polished and pretty.  Comments are welcome, as always.

pardon the mess…

I have a complete migration to Word Press and re-design from scratch in progress. Please excuse any non-working content or crazy layout issues while this is going on.
