Man! It has been a while since I wrote anything in here guys! I’m not so good at this blogging business huh? Maybe giving the site a new lease of life will kick things up a notch.
THAT’S RIGHT! I’m currently working on a new design for this thing. It’s been a good few years since I made this site, my skills have improved, my knowledge has improved, the Internets have improved and quite frankly this site is ass.
Yesterday (Bank Holidays yeah!) I spent most of the day sitting around watching some TV shows, but the time I didn’t spend doing that I spent checking out the best of the best blogs on the web. Most were web design oriented, some were personal blogs, and a few were from other industries, but they were all pretty sexy to my eyes.
After hundreds of sites bookmarked and two sheets of notes and sketches made I’ve got a pretty awesome idea of how I want the refreshed site to look. The hard part is getting the pretty out of my head and onto the screen. I am almost definitely a developer/coder more than I am a designer, so it’s gonna take some time and a lot of revisions before I get the final design anywhere near what I want. But we’ll get there!
There’s two major changes that are going to be made, the massive design overhaul aside. First and foremost will be the switch over to WordPress from b2evolution. I use WordPress quite a bit at work so I get to play around with it a fair amount, and it’s just so awesome. It’s also used more widely than b2evo, so the community support seems to be deeper too.
he second major change will be losing the Binary Loves You Too theme. I love geeky references and all that jazz, but for this site to work how I want the theme of the site has to match the domain. Ditching this domain would be far too much hassle, so the BLYT tag gets binned instead! Maybe in future I’ll resurrect it for something else and give it its won domain, but for now – bye bye binary!
I’M EXCITED GUYS!
