I remade my portfolio website: RobertDrake.net. For the last year or so there’s been nothing there; I’ve had a redesign on my list for quite some time, but it never happened. With a few snow days trapping me indoors (and away from work), I finally got around to doing a few things.
Now, RobertDrake.net is not ‘finished’ per se. I’ve got plenty of content that I want to drop on there, a growing list of design tweaks, but overall I’m happy to reintroduce it to the world.
As part of this redesign, I’m making a few changes to Servusamanu as well. As you can tell, I’ve already done some design tweaks. Now, I’m making changes to the ‘process’.
Back when I started this website, I was updating daily. In theory, I was writing something new everyday, but in reality I was throwing up the first interesting article that appeared whether I had something to say about it or not. I’d like to think that I spent a little more time on quality once I changed to three updates a week, but I’ve never been especially happy with the quality.
In fact, the website has at times been more of a distraction. With that in mind, I’m planning on going down to a single ‘change’ a week. Possibly a bit of content, possibly a tweak to the web-design. I’ll be doing the same with RobertDrake.net so neither site falls into complete abeyance. If something especially interesting crosses my path, I might still toss it online, but I don’t intend to update with quite the same regularity as I have. Hopefully, with less emphasis put on meeting my regular quota, I’ll be a little more active in making things ‘good’. We’ll see how that actually works out, but here’s to planning!
Cheers and thanks for reading.
