Well, I finally did it! Selfconclusion has a new look, and I am very happy with the way it has come out. I’ve been wanting to do it for ages now but after several unsuccessful attempts, I was beginning to think I would never get it done. Anyway’s thats the past now and heres the present. The site is not 100% completed and there are a few bugs, The archive page isn’t done yet but the single post page is.

As you may already be aware, I design my sites around Wordpress, which if your not familiar with, you need to start getting familiar with, as it is a very handy CMS that allows you to fully customize and extend using various plugins. The old site was built around Wordpress 2.1, and for the new look I decided to upgrade to 2.6 which I am finding so much better! Wordpress is totally free, and very simple to setup. In fact, your Webhosting most likely has it ready to install straight from your control panel, which makes things even easier!

I need to thank Rick from Rick’s HideOut for his Wordpress Plugins that have been implemented in the new design, these plugins are ‘Twitter for Wordpress’, ‘Last.fm for Wordpress’ and ‘Del.icio.us for Wordpress’ which are all very simple but handy plugins for displaying content from external sites straight to your Wordpress Blog.

I won’t rant on anymore, but I hope you like my new site, I have also redesigned my Webfolio which is now up and running, the address is http://stugreenham.com. Below is a before shot of Selfconclusion, I hope you agree it looks tonnes better!

Let me know what you think of the new look….
