Another reason is that I have upgraded to WordPress 2.7 (it doesn’t break the skin of course), so it would be nice to design something a bit more modern and change the focus to advertising my media production skills.

Of course a part of the redesign would be the Twitter updates, as mentioned yesterday. I would also be moving from the SiFR headers back to plain text (partly to reduce load times, and partly to create something that looks great on any web browser, no matter if it’s an iPhone/iPod touch or IE).

Depending on the time I have, it may appear in a month to 4 months time at least.

Still, it’s been a while since I have actually posted some form of a reasonable blog post as I have been busy doing various things.

For those that don’t know, I am doing volunteer work at 1WAY FM, ensuring that programs go out as they should, editing programs and doing web and graphic design work for them. This does take a bit of my time up.

I also recently relaunched kjwdesign’s website (although I need to change a bit of code so that I don’t have an issue with the blog showing on the front page). The new design is fresher, gives me a bit more control on what I can put up on the site and includes a blog where I can easily add news and updates on the business. I also had to fix the contact form as the web-host somehow broke the PHP configuration for the SMTP server address.

Other than that, I am job hunting at the moment, looking at ways and options to start a production business, still working in retail, and still slowly working on actually getting my showcase on the web.

I also graduated from CIT a couple of weeks ago.

All I can say is that I like the latest version (although I wonder how to get the Gravatar’s actually showing (See my first photo of the week post’s comments)). 

Also, the folks at WordPress have updated the WordPress.org website to have a similar style to the Wordpress 2.5 admin interface. Well done to the folks at WordPress and Happy Cog for the work done on the design (Even if it will take a bit of getting used to).

I have now removed the recent entries tool from the front page and have reverted back to the standard style for blog index pages.

If you have any problems, please let me know via the comments.

The bingo balls are near the end of the video.

I have been busy with work and study. Also, I am developing my personal portfolio site (kjwebb.com) which will include a new blog style for this blog.

Gone are the boxes around posts, the front page is simplier (or will be once I tone down the archive/category links to the most important) and a more consistant design is in-place.

Over the coming months, I will also be updating the kjwebb.com front page and adding more content.

IE7 users please note: There is a known issue with the search box’s button going below the search box. It will be fixed (it may be causing the same issue in Safari, but I haven’t got the time to check compared to if it was a clients website, where I would have had time)
