Well, if you haven’t heard already, I’m in the process of redesigning my current site. It worked for a while, but now I just feel that it doesn’t really represent me well. I want something clean, and it should be coded better. In the new version I’m striving to really push myself.

A few things I plan to do:

• Brighten up the site
• Use CSS3 features (Maybe incorporate some HTML5 too)
• Write leaner code
• Better accessibility
• Expanded content and new sections

One of the major hurtles is leaving Wordpress. While it’s been great using it for my blogging engine, I’ve decide that it’s just too bloated for what I need. With Wordpress, I tend to rely on others for what I need, instead of producing my own plugins and themes. I need to push myself further and develop my abilities. That’s why I’ve narrowed it down to Habari or toto as my blogging platform. It’s super lean, fast, and has great potential. Also, I’ll be able to contribute to their community, because they have actual needs. I’m gladly inserting myself into a smaller community, while putting my skills to the test.

That won’t be all, and I’m not releasing all the features in one fell swoop. There need to be some surprises along the way. So stay tuned, and I’ll be sure to let you all know when the first release comes around.
