Rebuild my personal website

It turned out not to be as I initially conceived it, true. Anyway it’s good enough and I had fun making it.

Maybe one day I’ll change it again :)
Maybe - one day.

Today I worked on it. I’ve got an idea of how it will be… but it’s still not clear enough. I’ll spend some more hours on the project next weekend…

Yep because it really need a new graphic and also new and up-to-date content. Despite I can code html and install script applications I guess I will use iWeb to do it. This way it won’t take ages to be ready. The problem is iWeb’s coding really sucks. Oh well. But I suppose this is the best choice now.

... it might just be one single page, but right now I need to focus on bringing you interesting stuff rather than endlessly tweaking a stylesheet.

So let’s call it done.

For now.

... I’m opening the site even if it’s still less than a beta version, I hope I will get feedback to help with my motivation (wink wink).

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you HurtMePlenty !

Of course, it’s only after I hack Lazy Gallery into my website that I discover Gallery and his incredible feature list, among which a Multiple Upload, and an Automatic Watermarking…

Once again, with feelings!

Took a couple of hours tonight to test and install a gallery plugin on HMP—I’ve finally chosen Lazyboy’s Lazy Gallery for its extreme ease of use and its no-thrills simplicity, just what I needed!

Now that Blue Host seems to have propagated my DNS entries, I just put online a very simple “Under construction” page allowing visitors to download my short-stories in PDF format.

Now I should install WordPress on my server and work a bit more on the editorial structure…

FlickR allows only 3 photosets (albums) and the viewing of one’s 200 most recent pictures, in its Free version.

Maybe I should look for some WordPress plugins to manage my galleries directly on my site, and keep my FlickR account for public exposure only…

And maybe I should actually work too.

I’ve selected to host my website at Blue Host, endorsed by WordPress as one of their selected hosting partners, and offering great features at a very reasonable price.

I updated my nameservers as well, it should take 2-3 days to propagate.
