(this is just occurring to me, but once i get an idea for a design in my head, i don't waver much from it. be it an interiors project, organizational problem, or a website. weird.)
anyways, first i came up with a basic list of pages i would have to have (i.e. a bio page, contact page, or project images). then i figured out a basic layout with the content in the center. then came creating individual pages. this is where things started to get hairy. i originally built one page and then used 'save as' to create all the other pages. this works when you start with a template as that first file. this is not what i was doing. so every time i realized i needed to tweak something in the basic layout i had to change all the files. oh god...
then i figured out templates. this worked and still works, except i left out a few bits in my original template so i still have had a lot of errors to work through. namely if you don't make the title editable in the original template at the start, you can't make it editable later on. (well you can, i found a work-around, but it time-consuming.)
now i'm building the content on the individual pages. i finished the homepage, which doesn't use the same template, the contact page (how easy!), the bio, and the start of my projects page. i haven't decided what happens when you click on a project so that's on the back burner. currently i am working on turning my pdf portfolio into a turn page book. there are lots of tutorials and lots of code and lots of software, so i'm sure i'll figure it out.
do you like the look of it?
oh and i'd like to move my blog over to wordpress.org so i can host it myself. we'll see how that goes.
