I just finished putting my new site design up. The motivation to finally finish it came from a much needed break from work and the need to stay up as late as possible so I can work the graveyard shift tomorrow night.
This is much cleaner and hopefully much more appealing to the masses than my old one, while still retaining some of my own interest.

I presented my portfolio on May 11th using a local copy in case there were any problems connecting to the internet and because our campus network is slooooooooow.
I found a few tutorials on how to create a local copy of an existing WordPress installation, but they were all very slightly off for someone using MAMP. I first got MAMP when I was learning how to install WordPress locally and since it works great, I didn’t want to install another local server environment.

Not only did I finish getting my work up, but it’s a great day outside. A little too toasty, but hey, it’s been cold, so I’ll take it. Anyway, the site’s almost done, just need to do some fun stuff, proof the text, and cross-browser test. I already know of some crap with IE, but that’s to be expected.
Right now, I’m off to Jo’s Java to hang out with mi amiga, Bre.

Each time I design/develop a new website, I try to learn at least one new thing.
I’m using LightWindow to display some of my work in my portfolio. LightWindow uses JavaScript, as does the method I used to display my latest tweet. I don’t really understand why, but whichever of the .js files was linked to last was the only one that would work. Speaking with my friend Joel led me to the solution.
I had to run the function jQuery.noConflict() and replace each $ with jQuery. It’s explained in more detail on the jQuery site, so if you’re still having trouble, I suggest looking there.
