I think I’m finally ready to unleash this on the general public! All known IE7 issues have been fixed and I am officially no longer worrying about IE6. That 17% of browsers can go to hell! They’ve made my life much more difficult in many ways, it’s time for me to return the favour.

For the most part, I’m rather happy with how it turned out. I’m really happy to be using sIFR. It looks beautiful when it works and it degrades fantastically, when Flash and/or Javascript are taken out of the equation. This is, of course, old news to anyone who has been using it, for the past few years. But I’m a new convert, so indulge me.

I’m also really happy to be back on WordPress. *So* much better than TypePad. I also hadn’t used WordPress since before they redesigned the Admin area, and it’s really quite nice now. Much better than before. It’s quite interesting to have a website that is based entirely around a CMS, which is a first for me. Even my TypePad blog had some pages that were basic XHTML.

I’m going to try to keep this design for at least a year, with many upgrades along the way. I have a terrible habit of redesigning my personal site, only weeks after uploading a new design. It’s a rather time-consuming habit. Hopefully, I’ll have enough clients this summer to curb that impulse. Right now, I think I have about four projects lined up for the summer. Should be interesting!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new look. If you notice any bugs, feel free to let me know about them and I’ll try to fix them. I still want to throw in some minor updates later today, such as some RSS buttons and whatnot. At some point in the future, I may restructure the whole code, so that everything degrades a bit better.

OK, I need to stop thinking about coding and start revising for my exam on, well, coding! Yay!
