My first
Since 2005 I wanted to update my site uxte.com. After dozens of versions of Flash portfolios and feeling frustrated with the final result I decided to give a it a go to WordPress. Don’t take me wrong, I love Flash, Flash is the reason I am into Design, but the problem is I am really hard to satisfy with, specially if I’m doing work for myself (some say I’m a perfectionist… go figure) and to be truthful WordPress it’s a hell of a tool after you learn about it.
So this is it, my first blog slash portfolio slash space slash whatever and here I will post my work… bla, bla, bla (read my header).
It’s still in Beta stage and can happen that some stuff doesn’t work properly yet, but like all good things it’s in constant development and one day (soon) I’ll post the final version and give it away as a nice WordPress theme, am I nice or what?
So feel free to comment, bash or spam on everything, I am here to reply.
Oh… I also did this with the intent of sharing my knowledge and experience in the design field. Did I mention knowledge and experience? So if you have some work for me or want to know a little bit more about my background and work, contact me on preis [at] uxte [dot] com (I always wanted to write my email like this) and I’ll get back to you ASAP.
Nice job with the blog, will check it up regularly.
i really like the blog design and your front page looks great too! i’m actually currently working on my own site and the layout i’m aiming for is very similar to what you have here, it’s giving me a big headache though… having a lot of trouble trying to understand themeing wordpress.
Hi Jet, thanks for the comment. Working with WordPress is quite intuitive, you just need to understand the basic structure and from there everything will come easy.
I am thinking of putting here a tutorial on WordPress design and connecting it with Flash. In the meanwhile have a look on SmallPotato blog WPDesigner. He has a really nice tutorial on starting with WP themeing.
A link for you: http://www.wpdesigner.com/2007/02/19/so-you-want-to-create-wordpress-themes-huh/
Cheers for the guide
it looks reaaally comprehensive. I think I’ll read it later.
I’ve kinda got the page structure looking how I want it now, need to take some time playing around with the colour scheme and find some cool plugins now!
Tutorial for wp+flash would be great, I’d love to see it.
maybe think about making the submit comment button gray/green. i nearly clicked onto the next post and lost my comment just there because it didn’t stand out enough.
Good that you liked it jet. I will have to think about the tutorial now. I think you’re right about the submit button also.
Hello uxte! Finally I had time for post about your blog. What can I say? Once again, you did a god job! Keep going, keep working, we will be here to see it!
Hasta!
