{% extends "_post.html" %} {% hyde title: "Site Redesign" snip: "Yeah, I know. Again." created: 2009-01-11 17:58:23 %} {% block article %} Well, I've redesigned the site again. This time it's all me. I built the site from the ground up with [Django][] and [Python][]. Why? Several reasons: * I already pay for hosting at [WebFaction][] for other sites so also paying [Squarespace][] for my personal one was too wasteful. * I wanted to practice designing another site with [Django][]. * I wanted more flexibility than [Squarespace][] supports and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty with code. If you want to know more about how I created the site, check out the site's [project page][]. Moving over ----------- I've tried to make transitioning to the new site as easy as possible. For example, I set up the urls so that links to the entries on the old blog will redirect to entries on the new one if they exist. Coming soon ----------- I'm going to work on porting over more of the old blog entries in the next day or two. I don't want to bring them all over; just the best ones. I'm also going to implement an RSS feed that will encompass projects and blog entries. Let me know what you think!
