So, yeah.
Okay, well, I don't have time for this right now. I was hoping to play around with some of the look found at jwz.org.
Also, whatever font I'm using at Movie Night at Michael's.
Basically, I want a colored text on a black background. Not green, though. And not full intensity, which is more difficult to read.
This is a paragraph containing colored text. I want to experiment with different colors until I find one I like. It will probably be some variation on blue, but who knows. Here is a second color.
Hmm, I'm liking these colors. I'm thinking the little bits of color dress it up enough that I don't need to make all of the text colored. How will I balance that? Anyway, the colors are:
Next, I want to experiment with boxes that have a high intensity border and text, with a darker background. The border is only one pixel.
Before This is a box After
The box works as a <div> or <span> tag, and probably with a lot of other things. Maybe I should try it with an <a> tag. I am using a background color that has a brightness value of 30%:
Okay, I have my fonts, colors, and boxes. Now what do I do with it? What web site am I going to use this on? I haven't updated the look of my personal home page for many years. Was it actually 2007? That would be almost a decade.
My photography portfolio hasn't been updated in a long time, but then I haven't really been doing much in the way of photography. My filmmaking site is actually not too bad, just needs a few tweaks. My videography site is hideous, but the look I just came up with doesn't really work for performance video. Unix.Academy has a fairly good look going for it.
Yep, I think I will have to use this for my personal web site.
I guess that also means I need to update the structure of the site. My interests have changed quite a bit. I suppose my philosophy has, as well. Facebook has taken over much of the purpose for my site. And I keep nixing my firearms stuff.
Hmm. Maybe I should use this style for the filmmaker.community web site. Maybe I will do both.
Instead of a navigation bar and then redundant verbiage next to it, the buttons should be more tightly coupled with the text.
Also, I want to break my single, monolithic stylesheet into multiple ones. There should be a special one for homepage features. And I want special stylesheet features, like the "grid" table, to live in their own stylesheets. This will make things more efficient, and also more organized.
