drill.jpgAh, the smell of a new blog design.

In an attempt to package many ideas that have been brewing, I decided to go with Mimbo, a theme recommended to me by Opal about two months ago. It’s a magazine-style layout that offers up a lot of space for blog content in an easy-to-absorb format. The theme itself is insanely customizable, but hardly a simple undertaking, especially if you are afraid to dig into the code. I’m particularly fond of the latest post box and the category-based sections. While there are a few quirks with this theme, it is an incredible piece of work.

Being faced with a nice vacation, I decided now was the time. So after spending way too much time in front of the screen, here’s the nearly finished product.

Things to note:

  • The “your gps camera phone” category is exactly that - a new section for guest blogging where you get to submit your photos and stories in return for a super-deluxe link back to your site. This should be rolled out in the next day or so. Stay tuned.
  • I’ll be geo-tagging some (not all) photos in Google Earth and then posting the .KML/.KMZ file for you to download. It’s primarily going to be a log of all the user-submitted photos and some of my photos from around the area. This is also coming soon, hopefully in the next two or so days.
  • Tutorials - they are coming. I’ll probably host them on Revver or somewhere and then embed them in the site to save bandwidth, but I’m not so sure yet. Anyone have experience with hosted video sites?
  • The blogroll is on a separate page now, so if you see a link from my site drop off due to the theme switch, it should re-appear soon.
  • The top commenter widget is no more, unless I can find a place to put it. Sorry, Joe.

If there’s more, I’ll be sure to let you know. Thanks to everyone for visiting and providing plentiful, sensible comments. It’s been fun so far, but the next year is going to be a blast. And you’re going to be a part of it.
