Update: Phase 1
Okay, some pretty hefty changes tonight behind the scenes here at Lathropworld.
First, on this page, you’ll notice a new set of links down the right side. Lathropworld links, which include links to our Twitter page (yeah, I’m still figuring out where I want that to go), Patrick’s page, and a new page called “The Miscellany Blog.”
The Miscellany Blog is meant to be my chance to share short things that I find throughout the day. Not necessarily stuff I want to post on Twitter, but things that I’d like to put somewhere. And here’s the added bonus: I’m going to want help posting things. So if you think you’ve got the chops to help populate that new page, drop me an e-mail and let me know.
Finally, and this is the biggie, I’m switching over the vast majority of the site to the same WordPress technology that runs this page. The advantage is that it will be mindbogglingly painless to update each page, and the easier it is for me, the more I think I’m apt to do it. Patrick’s page has been updated, and my hope is that it will be easy enough for him to make his own updates from time to time.
For now, though, you’ll find that all pages share the same design–this page design. Which is nice, but not quite what I want. So that’s the other big project for the site–taking all of the knowledge and tools I’ve found and working to cobble together a nice, coherent design for the entire site. Something that’s easily customizable, and features the graphic elements I really want.
So, for those of you who still come to this page as the entry page to the site, great! Just look for the new links down the right side, and it will help guide you to all the other fun stuff. Enjoy! Hopefully, there will be a couple more things coming by the end of the weekend.
See you tomorrow.
