redo my website

It’s done. And it has been, since September. So why did I hold off on saying “it’s done?” Probably has to do with the fact that it’s not perfect. IE doens’t like the better-than-live search box, and the comments still look a little funky to my discriminating eye. Thing is, I now have at least two other websites to go redesign. So gee, better click that “I want to do this again” button…

My methods might be a little unorthodox.

I approach web design like an architect. I make careful evaluations, gather useful information about the site, sketch and refine many approaches… Then, like an architect deranged, I disregard that which I’ve hoarded and just go at the thing blunt force with a chisel and a beefy sledgehammer. I’m self-educated in this technique, in case you wondered.

Been working now for two days. I binge on the internet. I stay up till the really early hours, till way after others actually woken up and begun their day. But the layout is coming along quite nicely I reckon. You just have to account for those tiny (gigantic?) impasses where browser quirks leave you befuddled and pounding a sledgehammer into some innocent bystanding keyboard.
