When I started redesigning the site a little over a month ago, I had a plan (which changed several times) mapped out. That plan has now been completed and I have the basic pages up and running that I wanted to. So now what?
For the past week or so I’ve basically only been tweaking a few things here and there. I haven’t really added any new pages. I don’t know what to do next. I’ve jotted down a few things lately that I want to work on. They are:
- meta tags
- “head” content of pages
- XHTML validation
- some photoblog hacks
I’m still not quite sure if I like the background for my pages. I just changed it again today…we’ll see how long I keep it. Maybe I’ll never find something that I really like.
Another problem I’m facing is how to get people interacting with my site and coming back on a regular basis. My goal is to get people that I do not know reading my weblog and responding to the things I write about, which is not happening so far. I’ve joined a few webrings and attempted to find a few weblogs that interest me. I’ve found 2 weblogs so far (besides Hamoudy of course) that I frequent. The Digital Pimpress is a blog I read daily and Photo Matt is one that I check a few times a week. Both individuals are very intelligent and their blogs keep me interested.
I’ve got a question regarding your design. As I’ve noticed on photomatt’s site, you’re using the intelligent menus as well. I just implemented them, but I’ve got a bit of a problem with positioning them. When you increase or decrease font size, the menu is not positioned correctly anymore, resulting in a gap between the line it should sit on and the menu items. Now, I’ve tried this out on your site, and here it doesn’t happen. Is that some kind of CSS magic, or am I doing something wrong?
