The first redesign

I finally spent the time I needed to bring my website up to my basic personal standards. I wrote some stuff about myself here and there, added outbound links to some other sites I like, and removed a lot of junk code!

Partially because I read this and I felt a little guilty about leaving my site in the state it was. But it still took a while.

The theming continues to be the hardest part for me. As a programmer, I highly value simple, utilitarian design. But as a creative I also feel like my personal site shouldn’t be so cold and plain. At least now I have a clean base to build off of! Instead of junk!

Everything got a lot easier after I stopped trying to make everything huge for fat fingering on your phone. Phones are pretty big these days, and even if they’re small … touching what you want is generally pretty accurate. So I reverted to plain bullet lists, and more plain HTML in general.

I also took the time to read the PS Vita browser spec, so hopefully my site renders properly there. It’s CSS2 compliant, but I don’t know if things like flexbox are added as the ‘partial CSS3’ support it mentions? So I’m avoiding that for now. I hope it works!
