Having watched a few great short video tutorials from Think Vitamin, especially Responsive Web Design for Mobile by Keir Whitaker and a couple of videos by Nick Pettit, I’ve improved the responsive layout on the site. Images now resize correctly, the footer columns stack up vertically, and most importantly I ditched the width: 100%; style [...]
Added favicon and apple-touch icon, screengrab of the latter below. (This post is being written from my phone for good measure!) Also added image auto resizing and CSS media query to hide sidebar on small screens. This is not necessarily how I’ll treat the sidebar on small devices ultimately, but it’s a step towards the [...]
Couple of minor changes to the site tonight. Added a border partition to inactive nav elements, and cleaned up the vertical and horizontal alignment of the footer columns. Pics below for my own future enjoyment.
Put together a ‘base’ for my site’s redesign today. Took about two and a half hours of coding and messing about in Photoshop to put this together. Most of the page was designed in the browser, but used Photoshop at first to organise a pallette and to rough out main column placements. I’ve decided to [...]
Hi all, just a quick post to celebrate the upload of my new site design. I’ve modified a wordpress theme to get the blogging platform to behave as a full-scale content management system. The site is now a portfolio of my online work, in addition to the old blog which is still here. I hope [...]

I’m in the middle of a full-site overhaul, as this blog is eventually going to become my portfolio site. I’ve currently got a couple of freelance projects under my belt, and have a few more lined up for the summer, so it makes sense to make a proper place online to display my work. I [...]
First off, a big thanks to anyone who came to the site and read coursework-24! I had a lot of fun writing it, although I could never have guessed how much an hourly blogging project would take over my day.
My graphic design module (catchy title #54: ‘Design and Layout for Electronic Media’) is drawing to a close, and with it my relationship with the Buddhist charity Kagyu Samye Dzong London. My class has had to do a complete redesign of this website, my thoughts on which have already been recorded on this blog.
Happy to report that The Timer has been blogged by Comment Central on The Times website. The link will probably only be up for 24 hrs or so, but I’ll take all the traffic I can get! www.timesonline.typepad.com/comment This may well provide me with the impetus I need to release v2.0 of The Timer, with [...]
