Ah, finally it’s done. Just a few days shy of WordPress 2.3, but it’s running on the 2.3 release candidate as I figure it would be easier and faster to upgrade to the stable releases later on, than to keep using 2.2 for the new layout. So here it is, a cleaner, less cluttered, and hopefully faster-loading Seasonal Plume.
I still really like the old layout, but I was starting to look for something easier on the eyes, where the attention is more on what’s written than on how the website looks like (though I’ve had quite a few good reviews of it!). There are a lot of other things I took into consideration with the redesign, but the technical stuff will be food for discussion either at my portfolio or my scripts blog.
What’s “special” about this layout, though, was that everything lines up! It took me a while to get every single element to line up correctly. ;) Also, I took careful consideration of my library section, so that the books are more organized and contain useful information other than just pretty covers. I will be re-tagging all the entries–a side effect of the new tagging features for WP2.3, but as my tags are all over the place, I think that’s fine.
If anything breaks, or if you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to let me know! I would love to hear them, especially if my blog breaks ;)
