Finally I’m over the first rise in my design process, and am creating the first of the last few revamps I have scheduled this spring (work-wise. There’s many personal sites I’d like to revamp, but alas, those are not on the schedule.) I have a terrible time getting started, lately; once I have the rudiments [...]

Winter cleaning
December 21st, 2007 · No Comments
As I’ve been cleaning up Hoshichan.com’s archives (now in June 2002, woo), I’m also tinkering with other sites and doing some long-overdue maintenance. I’m upgrading Common-Space.net to the latest WordPress as we speak, having sucessfully upgraded the Redoable theme already. Common Themes uses a theme that is no longer updated, so I will be modifying [...]

I suppose I could work on it tonight, but considering the hours and work that went into the first version, I don’t think it’s [...]

MyBlogLog, Hoshichan, and a day mostly at home

(Translation: uber catch-up post of DOOM.)
I’ve installed a MyBlogLog widget here, so if you have an account, please join the Hoshichan.com community! (And any others of mine that you care for, they’re all here.) I still feel I’ve only scratched the surface of the site, but I’m really liking it so far — it almost [...]

I don’t rant enough often about design issues here (that was what my old, deceased C-Blog was for, four years ago or so), but while skimming my newsreader this morning, I happened upon this post about Technorati’s revamp of yesterday. I can’t possibly, possibly put it as eloquently as Greg did (which is precisely why [...]
