New Website Launched

After *A LOT* of tinkering I have finally re-launched my Photogaphy web site. I had been trying to cobble together a site using a combination of hand coding, some open source php, flash galleries and WordPress. It had been going no where fast for quite some time so I stopped for a re-think. After doing some experimenting and following on from my article last week about iWeb Pro, I decided to see If I could do it in iWeb. It worked pretty well.

Although it looks pretty simple I pushed the boundaries of what you would normally do in iWeb. Everything is created in iWeb, and the only other applications I used were text wrangler and css edit in order to get WordPress to work with it. I will do a complete write up later on just what I did, but while its frustrating at times you can do some cool stuff in Apple’s little web package. The only major problem (apart from its limitations) I encountered is that the code it generates is very bloated and contains a lot of garbage, which made it frustrating when trying to extract portions to work with WordPress. Anyway, I am happy with it and will try and keep the photoblog going, as well as this one of course.

(I figured diluting this one with too many topics would get a bit irksome)
