I’ve just created a Web site for Michelle. Now she’ll get to put her own information, along with journal (blog) entries, up somewhere too. The blog portion still needs some work (I effectively copied my blog’s formatting over to hers, now need to tweak things to fit it into her theme) and she still needs to supply me with actual content so that there’s more than just “under construction” text.
I’ll admit I had some fun with the layout. I almost like it better than what I have on my page, but both vertical and horizontal layouts (columns/rows) have their advantages and their disadvantages – and any yearnings I might have for the other at this point are just a combination of “the grass is greener” syndrome and having stared at mine for so long that it’s no longer new.
(If anybody can come up with a page design that incorporates static personal information with dynamic journal updates and that isn’t somehow based on a column or row layout (that, when shrunk to fit a lower screen resolution, doesn’t look bad) I’d be interested in hearing about it. I don’t think it’s possible.
