Code Scene gets a facelift
Posted on May 2, 2009 | 4 Comments | No TrackBacks
It's hard to believe that I started this blog way back in 2005. Several years later I decided it was time to give Code Scene it's first ever "redesign". I use the term redesign lightly since A) I am definitely not a designer and B) it doesn't look radically different than before.
Here are a few of the changes on the site:
- The site is now wider to support a more standard 1024x768 resolution
- I've added an addthis.com widget and links to my social networking profiles.
- I've joined the Free The Web movement in boycotting IE6. There may be a few IE6 problems with the new templates but I've stopped caring.
- I'm using jQuery UI for the accordion and tabbed panels in the templates.
- Added search keyword highlighting using the FastSearch plugin for Movable Type.
- Moved hosting companies once again, this time to Media Temple.
- Added code highlighting for any code samples on the site, courtesy of SyntaxHighlighter by Alex Gorbatchev.
- Created a mobile version of the site at m.codescene.com using MoFuse and a mobile redirection script.
I'm still making some tweaks and adjustments to the site but let me know what you think or if you find something wrong.
