Envisioned Prototype The Online Portfolio and Professional Blog of Daniel Yearwood

New Look For My Blog

Yesterday I spent a great deal of my day (1:00 - 11:00 to be exact) redesigning my professional blog. Right now, you are looking at the result! I am pretty impressed with it. I like the look, plus I love the liquid layout. If you're a designer, you know how much of a pain it is to get a liquid layout to work. I was so tempted to use table's when constructing the template, but I eventually found a great site that helped me with getting the divs the same height. Here is the link.

I first constructed the template in photoshop (as man of us designers do). I created all the graphic used and then sliced out the necessary elements. Afterwords, it was pretty simple for me to create the template files for it. My blog is powered by WordPress, which is a great blogging CMS.

I still have some ways to go, but I figured I would just fix things as they come up. For right now, I am happy with it. I will focus more on it this weekend. More posts coming very soon!
