I’ve made some changes. Again.

5th December 2008 Portfolio

I’ve made some changes to the the blog (again). When I first designed this site I had two Wordpress installs, one for the blog and one for my portfolio, both running different themes. When I initially did this I thought at the time that this was the best way to tackle the problem of being able to post easily whilst maintaining different layouts. After some thought I decided I was probably wrong and I’ve made a few changes.

One of the problems I’ve always had with Wordpress is getting posts from different categories to format differently on separate pages. In the past I’ve used categories and tags to construct template pages and numerous plug-ins to spread the posts around, but most of the time, although it works, I’ve been left feeling that any second the site is going to crack and everything will fall apart.

So for this version of the blog I’ve decided to move the ‘portfolio’ section to the homepage and use Wordpress’ awesome Static Homepage function. Granted this time I’ve had to use a Page Template rather than blog itself to get new work on to the site, which involves code in the page, but to be honest this doesn’t bother me – at least not for the moment.

Anyway hope you like it, and if not tell me why…
