Web Design Makeover, Part 1

Web Wench — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 06:13:18 +0000

Ideally, I would have all my content written and organized before I coded a site, but I wanted to finish the BK2K Web Design theme so I can finish the Scrumptious theme. I’ll work on that and the content for BK2K over the next couple of weeks, giving myself a little variety. I love coding – but I really don’t like writing. It’s hard to get inspired! So I’m going “back to school” and treating it like a homework assignment. I’m starting by creating an outline.

That was easy enough! Tomorrow, I’ll decide what the title and meta description tags for the pages will be, keeping SEO, and which keywords I want to target in mind.

New WordPress theme sidetracked

Web Wench — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 07:15:03 +0000

I’ve been putting it off forever, but have decided to reopen my old business site, BK2K Web Design, as an online web jobs, web development, technology news sort of blog. Right now it’s kind of just sitting there with a little index page, and I miss it! So the Scrumptious theme has been temporarily sidetracked while I finish up the loose ends (including writing a slew of static pages, ugh.)

Here’s a screenshot of the new theme for BK2K (click for full sized):

I’ll do my best to finish this up soon, and get back on track with Scrumptious, which will be coming by the end of the month. Stay tuned…
