BBC.co.uk redesigned!

Wordpress 2.5 Released

March 31st, 2008

 

Venture yonder to read more. Just installed it, quite a nice administration section I must say, navigation is slightly different but it’s intuitive enough that I quickly clocked where everything was. Just ironing out a few issues now e.g. a few template functions have been deprecated.

The Initial Sketch!

Guess what! Been working on a re-design again, Oops! Never happy am I. Personally, this time I blame the over-saturation of nice websites from numerous CSS galleries, which I've had to catch up with while I was away, and the fact that my design has been up all of, say, 5 months or whatever it was.
