Well hello...

I've been working on this all weekend. I have pretty much completely revamped the site - I've got rid of all the old sections and got it ready for being just a blog with some photography. :)

This layout is very buggy in IE6 (there's a surprise) but it should look ok in everything else, including IE7.

Oh yes, and the old themes are gone, because they sucked. You must now have this one or nothing else :P

Let me know if you spot any problems.

I need to change this layout... It's too square and boring. If I wasn't supposed to be doing an essay right now I'd probably work on something new, but I've been putting this off enough today already :(
I also need to revamp this site completely. Several people have commented on the fact that I have no visitor content and generally nothing to keep people here, which I am very much aware of. When I moved to this domain from my old one, I did absolutely no clearing up in terms of content, and still have a lot of the unchanged pages from 2002, when I first opened the old site. That 'girl' thing in the sidebar there *points* hasn't changed in around two years (can you tell?). That whole "Name. Does stuff. Blah. etc." thing was never popular and I look kind of stupid to have gone through with it, heh. I only recently got rid of some popups as well, how embarrassing.

All in all, my site is still stuck in web 1.0 when everyone's moving towards 2.0 :\ I'm rubbish at following trends though... I always do stuff when everyone else gave up on it ages ago. :P

Edit: I know the gravatars aren't working... Not really my fault since they're served from gravatar.com and they seem to be lagging a lot lately. :\

Because I am not a sell out.

As tempting as the idea is, I refuse to be paid to blog. My site is not a tool for anyone - least of all me - to make money; it serves as a creative outlet for me so that I can show off my super-1337 intarwebz sk1llz1!11 because I'm geeky and I simply must have an internet presence.

Do you see any advertising on this site (other than a couple of links to similar sites, but they are all non-profit and generally agree with me on this standpoint)? No. There will never be advertising on this site, and especially not spam disguised as a blog entry. I am not going to lie through my teeth and bore all 2 of my visitors to death by talking about how great it is now that my [begin obligatory link] mortgage debts [/end obligatory link] have been cleared by some scammy company or how I really should be [link!1!1] losing weight [/link] by taking some dodgy pill just to get $5 out of it. I could work a real job (*gasp!* Those actually still exist!1!) and get that in under an hour.

Want to lose all your visitors? Go ahead, sell your site. And your soul. To me, you just look greedy and like you can't be bothered to go out and get a real job.
