Blog Version 2.0
Posted by Nicole Sharp on 08 May 2005 at 22:16In the exciting world of coding, I've spent quite a few hours over the past week moving the backend of my blog around so that it's easier for me to maintain. I have discovered the joy that is Movable Type template modules and maintaining that sidebar of mine is no longer a chore! I also changed my color scheme around, added some information about myself to the main blog index and got rid of the navigation bar along the top. All of its functionality has been moved instead to the sidebar and highlighted with green. (You'd think I was MSN Search with a move like that!)
The dorm has emptied out, which makes life a good deal quieter. It also makes it much easier to cook in the dorm kitchen and take advantage of the tail-end of the 25 cent washing and drying cycle. The weather's actually been nice the last couple of days, so I've been out skating a couple of times, and yesterday Mark, Greg, Brian, and I went to the Great Lakes Science Center. There's nothing like going through science demonstrations and actually understanding all of them.
I finally remembered to take my camera with me to the lakefront, so I got some nice photos of Cleveland, including a panorama of the downtown skyline with which I'm quite pleased. Incidentally, there are also some pictures there of the aforementioned Robot V and the SOURCE Symposium poster I helped create. I'm still thrilled that we earned 2nd place in the Engineering and Computer Science category!

On 09 May 2005 at 10:38Mano, I'm glad you like the new look! I always enjoy playing around with code and stylesheets for awhile. I think my next mission will be to play with the comment templates a bit. For one, I'd like people to be able to preview their comment in my stylesheet instead of an unformatted page of HTML.

On 09 May 2005 at 12:35I would have sworn that there was a photo of you on this page earlier. What happened to it?

On 09 May 2005 at 13:13Mano, the photo is only listed on the index page of the site. I didn't want to drive people up the wall on individual entry pages with pictures of me because it takes away from the blog content, in my opinion.
