The second version of JHuskisson.com : Jamie Huskisson Blog

The second version of JHuskisson.com

Posted on March 13th, 2007 in jhuskisson.com

Just finished uploading the second version of JHuskisson.com – I know it’s a little early for a change but this layout is an alternate version of the old layout so I think it works out pretty well.

Changes are as follows:

Work page has a new layout, updated with new entries, new testimonials and with pages for older entries in the portfolio containing screenshots of the work
New contact page, with communication/social networking information – over ten ways to get in touch with me
An about page has arrived
New RSS feed ads
New side projects
Ultra sexy error page
New articles listing page layout, including the latest/most popular articles and code tidbits listing
Goals made re-done, with all new goals and a lot less clutter on the page

The layout also seems to be xhtml/css valid with the exception of YouTube embeds – and if anyone knows of a way to embed them without causing css/xhtml errors in the validator then I’d be happy to listen.

Any bug reports feel free to use the contact form or post a comment :)

Howdy Jay,

I’m liking the updates in general, however, I think I’m finding myself liking the original placement of the content over the new placement. When the content was on the left, there seemed to be more emphasis on it rather than the links.

Perhaps it’s just me, but when I usually visit a blog I frequent, I simply go to read the latest post made, or comments in a post. To me, the content on the left makes more sense for a frequent visitor.

It’s not bad however, just a thought :P

Looking good ;)

It’s probably just a common thought about blogs with the sidebar’s being on the right hand side. Though it is true that people see the left first rather than the right.

By moving it around I’m trying to change your focus to it being a website, not purely a blog. The blog is just part of the website, it’s not the entire thing :)
