Cars, Security & a Peek into my Life

Polishing a Blog Looks like This

Endless spreadsheets and <a href> tags.

I’d estimate this blog needs about 25 hours of polishing, to complete this website rennovation.

Notice how the site is now wider ? To accommodate 640-wide photos in all the posts.

But a wider site, means all-new headers have to be created.

I threw a few together, to test the header randomizer.

Oh wait – this way I’ll never forget…. KeriBlog Header Size = 990 x 260

Dumped 35 55 links into the link randomizer.

Look top right. It changes on refresh, and the links lead to posts I quite like.

Looking forward to creating the sidebar, what I think is the essence of a blog. That’s next.

Another great blog work session, thanks Andy, and if you need WordPress anything, call him.

 

New Blog Theme Coming Soon

Plain, simple, white & blue KeriBlog… 2010 – 2012… RIP

I’m going to miss it!

I like my plain everything, it’s how I think websites should look like: blue links, obvious navigation, brain-dead layout, not trying to re-invent the wheel, content highlighted above all else, plus I’m obsessed with load time. I’m so 1998.

But it’s time. Now to give KeriBlog the proper packaging it deserves.

Then repeat the process 10 more times.

I have 12 in total.

KeriNetwork!

Choosing a new theme is a really big deal.  What if stuff breaks when you install it?  Are you sure the people building it will update it?  Because if not, or if they go out of business, you now have a big blog security problem.

Below is an email I wrote to my friend who’s helping me with the install.

It’s the thought process behind it all.

(new theme is by ThemeFuse)

If you need a sysadmin… or anything done in: C/C++, Python, Matlab/Symulink, html/php/css/javascript, then shell scripting like bash… or Matlab (!)… you want @NodeZero_Linux

Please don’t insult him by asking for anything free, and besides, his rates are already too low if you ask me ;)

Thanks buddy XO
