This Site

After deciding that an online portfolio was a must,  I sketched out my ideal all-singing all-dancing solution, but realized that it was beyond my programming capacity and well beyond my budget.  I also researched the ready-made template options without finding any that fit my needs.

So I've done the next best thing by customizing an existing template.   Some of the adaptations in place or planned:
  • Many modifications to the standard layout and CSS.
  • Hosting at a custom domain.
  • Live header links allowing for sorting by topic.
  • Google Docs integration (here).
  • Google Analytics integration.
  • Customized version of Lightbox integration (planned).
  • In-blog storefront with Google Checkout (planned).



First, second, and third versions of the header graphic (colors and copyright date updated each January).
