About
Update: February 2009 – the site is evolving and the info below is dated. I’ll fix this as soon the design and theme are settled. I’m about 70-80% finished. The right column needs work, the stand-alone pages, and few other things.
The author of this site is James A. Weaks aka “jweaks.” This is my personal blog where I post and share things that interest me. More about me here: My profile page.
Having evolved into a “LifeStream” site you’ll find my Tweeter feed, shared news reader items, what I’m reading and what I’m listening to here along with recent photos and occasional blog posts so check back often for new, exciting, whiz-bang articles, links and all-around useful information! You can subscribe to my RSS feed if you’d like to follow me. Twitter and Facebook are great for following too.
About the site design: This site is published with WordPress blog software. I highly recommend it. You can get it here: wordpress.org
In its current iteration I was looking for a “life-stream” type of site. After working on a couple of designs I decided to go with a heavily modified version of the “Agregado Theme” from here: Agregado Theme. I’ve changed the design, css and functions considerably and I’m not using the lifestream function that the author’s built in. I’m opting to use a lifestream plugin instead.
(Older site design info: The site theme was, at first, a modified version of “Jakarta 1.5″ by Jose Mulia from here:
scarletblaze.com In its second major revision I created a 3 column layout by combining a lot of different ideas. This theme was helpful: http://wpthemes.yusop.net/2005/01/06/1 These sites were very helpful:
For CSS and font sizing: http://www.thenoodleincident.com/ For 3 column layout (a real pain to implement in a rotten browser like IE, get FireFox!): http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/challenge/3cols/default.asp )
Peace,
