Well, after weeks of hard work, blood, sweat and tears, I have a new site design!

Probably the hardest part of this project was trying to make the layout work in Internet Explorer. I haven’t tried IE 8 out yet, but I hope it finally gets up to speed with Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Seriously, what a pathetic excuse for a browser.

From there, making Phatfusion’s Lightbox work for all of my galleries was fairly easy, except for IE’s stupid reactions that took nearly a day to figure out. As you may remember, there was not previously a blog on DougKeeling.com. Thanks to WordPress.org, I’ve finally come into the 21st century.

Some advice to any college students who may read this:

Do not count on college or your professors to teach you anything about web design, blogs, wikis, forums, or any such useful info. If you want to learn the stuff, read books, get online, experiment. I feel like I’m pretty much floating out on the open seas of the web all by myself without having been taught to do anything but tread water.

Anyway, enjoy perusing the new site. It may still have a few small bugs, but I’ve tried to get as many as I could locate for now. Please comment and let me know what you think of the new layout.

Thanks!
