Site changes here at Geek Factor

If you’re a regular, you’ll note that things have changed a bit here at Geek Factor.

Most noticeably, I’ve updated the look and feel of the site. Besides procrastination, which is the usual reason I set out to redesign the site, I’ve often felt that the previous design was a bit too cluttered and lacked a certain readability. Reflecting on the before and after pages, I feel the new design is a positive step forward.

As I’ve previously posted, I’ve found ThemeForest to be a great resource for getting new designs kickstarted. My new look is based on the Peak theme, which I’ve hacked quite a bit this evening.

I specifically sought out a theme with a “Tumblog” feature so that I could take advantage of WordPress’ new ability to support different post types. There were a lot of nice options on ThemeForest.

So, what do you think?

Site maintenance

More Drupal tweaking today:
 
  • I installed the service_links module to make it easier for visitors to bookmark articles on the site. I also installed the trackback and tinymce modules, which make it easier to do some backend stuff.
