Freshly Redesigned
I recently upgraded my Wordpress installation (it’s the software that makes this site go), but because I’ve neglected it for so long, the transition from older software to the newer code sort of goofed up a few things.
So, as I got into fixing some things, it required that I started fiddling with other parts of the site, which then required other parts to be messed with and so on, until then a full fledged site face lift became necessary (at least I feel that it did)…and what you now see is the result.
Anyways, I hope you all like the new look, it’s pretty minimalist, clean and simple. I’ve increased the font size for improved readability and gave some spacing to others. Plus all this gives me an outlet for some creativity and keeps me relatively sane (though some might beg to differ).
Enjoy folks. Oh, and I promise to add more photos and updates in the coming days.
Atypical Nonsense Gets Noticed, Well Sort Of…
I’m a fairly active participant in a number of online forums and blogs in a variety of interests. One of my main interests is blogging, Wordpress and web design.
This morning, one of my online mentors and (what I consider) internet friend, gave our little blog some worldwide attention by giving us a link to our site in his blog post. In the blogging world, links are the key to attracting readers. Apparently, Brian was considering expanding his professional and diverse universe with yet another project, but for whatever reason, my particular comment helped to clear his mind, essentially bringing him back to Earth.
While this blog is not promoted as anything other than a simple family blog, it’s nice to get noticed. So I want to say thank you to my internet friend, Brian Gardner for the attention.
Brian is a Wordpress theme developer and a successful blogger destined for greatness. I’ve used a number of altered Brian’s themes on this site as a basis for the design and his success over the last six to eight months has become an inspiration to me. When I think of Brian, it reminds me of this lyric –
“..a spirit with a vision is a dream
With a mission.” ~ Neil Peart
Thanks, Brian.
Photo Gallery
Well, I think I finally solved my photo gallery issues. The photo gallery solutions thus far have been too limited, too constrictive or too bland. So…I’ve installed another version of Wordpress (what runs this site) in a subdomain of Atypical Nonsense, hacked up a photoblog theme and have given the photo section a blog of it’s own. Neato, eh? Yeah, I know…who cares. But since I’ve spent most of the day fiddling with the dang thing, I thought I’d clue you in to the greasy details.
Oh, yeah, check out the latest photos.
