First of all my apologies to DeViLbOi, who indeed told me about e107 before Phil :p I tried it out yesterday but then realized that I probably am over complicating matters by installing a CMS when all I need is a way to point people to the new areas on my site without cluttering up the interface too much. As time goes on and I add the new stuff that I have in mind, a portal site may make sense but for the moment, I really should be OK with the current set up – if I can come up with a good interface 🙂
So speaking of interfaces, I’ve been working on layouts for both my sites – The Developer’s Corner and SM. You can see the new layout for SM at the site itself since I created it, liked it and put it up already :p The layout for this site is however something that I have been working on (on and off) for a while now. You can find the almost finished result here. Personally, I don’t like it much for some reason – maybe it tries too hard :p I don’t know if I really want to use that layout or come up with something a bit more simpler and clean-cut that I would like to use. I guess I’ll see what all of you think before I go one way or another on that one. In the meantime, the changes at the site keep on – slowly but surely. Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, I guess it’ll take a while for all of it to be finally in place and when it is, it will take a little more time for me to get back into coding. So bear with me 🙂
Personally if a layout works and is easy to edit, no real big hurry in updating if it suits your needs. But that is how I think, less work == good times 🙂
Frankly, the new layout isn’t that impressive. I liked the SM design a lot though.
I really like th SM site design, nice, simple, clean, and the color scheme is easy on the eyes…
yes…I agree with everyone that has posted so far. Simple and clean is the way to go.
