The Value of a Good-Looking Site

So, a couple of weeks ago, I decided it was time that our film production website got a makeover. I’d slapped the original site together in the heat of the moment, when we uploaded our first web short to Youtube, knowing that we needed some kind of a link on which to hang our online signboard. It was finished in about 24 hours, that first version of the site, using a clunky-but-passable template, and it served as a place to put data. But we have a lot of projects brewing now, and it can’t hurt to have a snappy website, …

Links Updated

As a break from thinking about the film Yesterday, I threw in a plugin to help me manage the link order in my blogroll. I deleted a couple of links I no longer visit — some just because, some because the things I’ve seen at the far side of the link has infuriated me — and I have moved a bunch of links from one category to another. Plenty of links could have gone into a few different categories. If I know you personally but stuck you under “Writers” it’s because I am thinking you might benefit from this exposure. …

Testing the status of the blog after upgrade. I’ve just upgraded the site to WordPress 2.6.1, which means a few plugins and things will probably need sorting in the next day or two. Excuse the mess, and please bear with me, as other commitments (especially working on a certain academic paper due next weekend) is taking up most of my time! By the way, I’ve installed a mailing list function. It’s really intended for people who read a story, like it, and pop over to my website. That is to say, most regular readers won’t necessarily need to sign up, …

I may not be blogging as much as usual for the next few days… I’m working on an upgrade of Ubuntu on my computer, and I hadn’t planned for it, or set aside time for it. See, I was trying to install the Linux version of HWP (the Korean wordprocessor that gets the widest use in Korea, and which everyone else hates because that program’s proprietary format, .hwp, is the standard here, but other wordprocesses don’t handle it very well). I’m trying to install this because I’m suddenly in a position where I can’t just advise people to re-send the …

Webdesigner Pal, Anyone?

I need to update my site. Nothing to drastic, actually just some basic modification of what I’ve already got up, though it will be quite different once it’s done. Slick. Hip. Bad. Unlikely to need a new template update for ages, if I get my way. I don’t imagine it’ll take a ton of work, either, but I’m not sure I’m up to the task alone. My CSS-fu is more like  CSS-pyew, to be honest, and I’m impatient at coding new templates with new CSS because I only vaguely kinda sorta know enough to look up what I need to …
