Redesign put on hold (for a little while)

I’ve decided to put the planned blog redesign on hold for a little while. After graphically finishing up the draft for the new design I realized there was no way what-so-ever I would be able to code it myself from scratch. This left me with two options, hire a coder or scratch the design. Needless to say, I went for the latter.

Seeing how this will be more a personal blog than anything else, I don’t see any reason for me to spend money on it with absolutely no expected return (I’m a business student after all!). Instead I’ll be looking for a nice free WP theme to base the new design on, as I’m quite capable of modifying designs codewise, as opposed to coding them from the ground and up. If you have any suggestions feel free to throw them at me - I’m hoping to find a theme that makes it easy to display things like my latest Tweets and Flickr photos.

And while we’re on the subject of Twitter, are you following me yet? I feel somewhat lonely over there, even though I have a few followers none of them seem to be interested in conversation. If you are, just follow me and send a tweet at me, and I’ll make sure to follow you back! I’ll be cleaning up my list of people I’m following too, so that I can filter out the noise from people I don’t really know as well.

Lastly, exams are over for me again, which always makes for a good period of fun and relaxation. I have been getting into the “internet” mode, which should mean more activity from me. Of course this also means more time for blog related things, so hopefully I’ll be able to get a new design up in not too long. As soon as I find a good theme to use as a base, it shouldn’t take me more than a day or two to get things ready. Need to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress as well.
