Site Redesign

by Tom

Well, after one year of running Digital Media Minute, I decided it was time to ‘freshen’ up the look of the site. Some noteable changes other than the new look, is that I have moved away from the Moveable Type Blogging system to the Textpattern Publishing System (I’ll talk about my decision to switch over the next few days). The other big move was to a web standards based design. I have also cleaned up the navigation and moved the archive links from the front page to a special page reserved just for archives (which in my opinion make much more sence for looking at older content on this blog).

Anyhow it’s late and I’ve been working on this all day now, so watch over the next few days for some posts on the redesign process.

I look forward to your feedback on the design, and please let me know if you find part of the site that doesn’t work as promised.

If you found this helpful or interesting, please share it!

Hey, lookin good. Nice to see another switch to textpattern. :) BTW, how are you pulling out the category links against each post…?

Jim Rutherford

Nathan – thanks for the nice words! To get the category links, in my default article form, I have placed :

<txp:category1 link=”1” /><txp:category2 label=”, ” link=”1” />

That is what is pulling the links.
