Redesign Time

[mbarrick]

I think it is about time to split my fine art and photography off my personal site and have a dedicated portfolio site. I've currently got http://www.mbarrick.com as my résumé site for my programming and http://www.mbarrick.net set up as my catch-all personal site with http://atratus.araneum.ca redirecting to MBarrick.net. I'm thinking that I'll redesign MBarrick.com and MBarrick.net along the lines of this experiment - very clean an minimal but still "showing off" in a technical way. The experiment page is actually all text and totally dynamic. The design adapts itself to the size of the window and the whole thing is light-weight and degrades gracefully for WAP access. It's just an experiment, so there is nothing in the scripting to deal with older and marginal browsers yet, but it does work in MSIE 5+, Netscape 7+, Firefox 0.9+ and any WAP or text-only browser which covers about 98% of what's out there with no degredation of the design. Those other 2% can still see and read, it's just not as pretty for them. I'll use http://atratus.araneum.ca for the purely personal stuff like this blog, trip photos, and that sort of thing.
