Where the heck have I been

I know I know... I've been missing. Well not really missing. I have been here, but have been so busy on other projects, I have not had anytime to do anything for myself, or post anything new here. Well I finally realized this is not healthy so to say, and I am going to start off with a new look to the site. Yes, redesign number 400... :)

Over the last couple months I have created every cool feature known to man on other sites I have touched, so I am looking to add a couple new things here as well. Oh, and I might bring back the sidebars. I know... Sidebars Ick...

Well enough for now -- Let me get to work.

Oh, if you are looking for a couple ideas/advanced modifications to add to your Squarespace site(s), you might want to check out the Code site here:

Great design, no content...

Well as you might have noticed, I changed my layout once again. This time it was not that I did not like the style I had, it was due to the style killing my content and time.

I spent so much time aligning everything, that I did not have any time to write. And when I did write, I would then spend some more time aligning my content into the multi column layout I had.

The new design is just basic as you can see, but it will allow me to write, and not worry about alignment. Also, I can post quick entries from the editor and the iPhone App, and not have to rush to fix it up.

Hopefully, this will open my mind and allow me to post what I want, and when I want.

My Twitter Feed

Well, after killing off my Sidebars in my latest redesign, I got upset that the only thing that I ever liked in my sidebars was my Twitter Feed. So I took out a piece of paper, and tried to come up with a plan to get my Twitter feed back on my site.

There were two ideas that I initially had. One, was to create a DIV off to the right side of the Content area, like I have my Social Media Links on the Left. This looked and worked well, but ran into an issue of my canvas being too wide, and on a normal 1024x768 screen resolution, it was getting chopped. So, idea number one was scrapped.
