It’s one of those things: something’s needing doing, but since it’s yours — and not a clients’ — it doesn’t get done.
Then it starts to annoy. Still, other priorities take precedent.
But then something happens. In my case, it was the installation of WordPress 7, which broke several things on the site. Which meant the itch finally got the scratch.
The site’s undergone a major reorganization. It’s more focused, based almost exclusively around Foreword (which, deservedly, gets 90% of the site’s traffic). It features completely new style sheets, which mean new fonts, a new layout, and more.
Best of all, it’s based on modern code, which means it’s faster and has better compatibility with tablets and mobile devices — even if it’s still probably best viewed on a big monitor.
The photography sections got a bump, too. They’re now broken down into categories:
- Regional Imagery, photography from selected cityscapes, rural scenes, landscapes, and architectural photographs from ten US states (plus several additional locations in the UK)
- College Street, photography from colleges and universities
- Maine Revisited, photography covering a ten-year span — 2008–2018 — of the great State of Maine, “the way life should be.” Includes items from the book of the same name, now sold out. And,
- Debuting this fall: Frequency Shift, which is macro, detail, and abstract photography from the world of hi-end audio.
No page was left untouched as part of this update. (In fact, check ’em out: use the menu at the top right.) It’s still a work in progress — there are wrinkles that’ll hopefully be smoothed out in the next few weeks, most likely including things I don’t yet know about. Kindly let me know of anything that doesn’t work for you.
However, it’s the end of the month, and I have to sort the dozens of saved pages, notes, and photos already set aside into this month’s Beautifully Briefed. (Which’ll be posted Tuesday.)
As always, thank you for visiting!
