Forgotten Posts

I have a few things I’ve forgotten to post about so in the next day or to I’ll get to posting about them. I also need to get the rest of my pictures online. I’ve been spending most of my free time working on the new KA site http://uwka.com/blog/ is the staging area. It is still a work in progress but i’d like to get migrated over from the current uwka.com by the end of labor day weekend so hopefully I can continue to find time to work on it.

The Husky football season starts friday and I’m excited. I’m also going to be putting together the summer updates video soon for all the KA’s, I’ll post that here and on uwka.com. It will be the first post of the new site design.

One last thing, I found out facebook has scrabble called ‘scrabulous‘ and it is pretty fun
to play online. I usually do that while working at the same time, it is kind of distracting, but oh well, it is fun :)
Anyway, I gotta work at 8 so I should go to sleep.

Gallery works now

I stayed up way to late working on the gallery. It now reads from my flickr profile. I’m using a wordpress plugin called slickr that works pretty well. It doesn’t know how to handle tags, descriptions or comments for now but it seems to be undergoing active development so I’m hopeful. It seems like a limiting factor for displaying lots of information is the use of lightbox which is light by design. I might need to extend lightbox to fit my needs if I want to fit more data (like tags, descriptions and comments) on the pic previews.

Site redesign

If you haven’t noticed I redid the design of the site. Those using RSS to keep tabs on me should click here (self-referring link) and give me feedback. I am using unsleepable v2.0 optimized for WPG2 based on the unsleepable theme which is based on K2.

I did some modifications like changing it from pink to a sexy orangish color, making the top bar shorter and redoing the logo and my favicon. I also added a gallery using gallery2. Finally, I set up some url rewrites so that fun links like xijio.com/gallery and xijio.com point to the right places.

I’m interested in feedback, thoughts, suggestions etc. in the comments.
