Devauld.ca

I haven't been posting much lately, as most of my time sitting in front of this computer was spent in making the new snazzy theme you see before you. A little bit of time in Photoshop, a little more on CSS and the biggest section spent on trying to get it to look the same between IE, Firefox and Safari. As far as looks go, this is about as far as it's going for the time being.

The switch to mephisto was really pleasant. Their use of the Liquid template engine was a little awkward at first, then I realized that even though there is an interface to edit the design with a browser, I didn't need to use it. As soon as I got dug in on my local copy with TextMate I was chewing through problems about as fast as I could find them. Please have a look about, and let me know if you see something awry.

The work on Devauld.ca is not finished, however. I still want to get a handle on these plugins that mephisto uses and wrangle up a Tag Cloud liquid filter, as well as a 'Archives' section that works and the snazzy Flickr widget to showcase my photo stream.

If you'd like to grab a hold of my theme as a starting point of your own, you can grab it out of my subversion repository here. Do enjoy
