Edit Note: A few images were added to this update after the post date.
I used to add seasonal pictures to my email signatures especially during the holidays. A few examples were added to the Digital Artwork section.
ADDED MORE TO THIS GALLERY:
It's hard to believe I haven't made a full site update since January! Time flies...
First off I had to put aside my Flickr updates for over a month while I re-designed this entire website. The choice to do so was when I found out I can run multiple blog indexes under one main blog component! It has made my updating efforts a breeze. To get a glimpse of the nerdy process feel free to watch the YouTube video I found: {LINK REMOVED}. It was the most simplistic way to do it I found.
In the past I had to manually modify each website section by hand taking the html grid and thumbnail placements and changing it all in GoLive which is an HTML editor. Now all I need to do is add the updates as a new posting and it moves the older items over.
As for WordPress templates I used The Unstandard for all of the website sections: art archive movies & pictures. For the actual blog section I went with Plainscape. I did my best to match the multiple blogs into one consistent look that matched up site-wide.
In the before and after screen shots below you can see how much I needed to change everything from stock.
This includes the page layouts.
The hardest modification came from the section templates. I found one that displayed blog posts as image and had to severely tweak them!
And again for the page layout.
For copyright reasons I wanted to give the template authors proper credit:
The Unstandard template belongs to {LINK REMOVED} and can be downloaded free: {LINK REMOVED}. The live preview is {LINK REMOVED}. The Plainscape template belongs to {LINK REMOVED} and can be downloaded free: {LINK REMOVED}. The live preview is {LINK REMOVED}.
As far as catching up on pictures goes I am so behind.
Currently I have about 25 sets and a few misc updates to upload to Flickr. Doing a search it looks like a total of about 3000+ pictures and about 100+ videos! Those updates are coming soon.
