Wordpress

As you have probably realized already, i’m doing another revamp of the site. Progress is a little bit slower than i like, but i need to earn for my living. My current project is going towards the end and the team is in crunch mode to put the last missing peaces together, prepare for the upcoming Steering Committee meetings and compile the major deliverable.

Regarding the revamp. I have some ideas in my mind. I planning to have a new landing page, and better integrate the content like youtube, flickr, or last.fm. This site will become more like hub/stream of my activities. I have already integrated my Twitter stream as you can see. I really enjoy the time to play around with my blog. Helps me to keep up-to-date with the latest developments around web-technologies like HTML5 or Javascript and things node.js or Ruby on Rails. If i would have not studied Business Administration i would probably have gone for Software Engineering.

P.s. Anyone who knows a WordPress plugin that automatically creates links for keywords like twitter, node.js, javascript. I’m a little bit to lazy to create all the links manually.

Welcome to dosreis.de Version Xy. I really don’t know how often i have redesigned the site but it seems to be that i am somehow have an obsession for redesigning this site at least once a year. Good to know, that if i would not be working as a consultant I’m at least be able to work as webdesigner.
Last week i installed Xampp on a USB stick, copied all files incl. the database from my hosting account to the stick. I am now be able to work offline on my site when i am on the move. I played a little bit around with the design on the flight back to Munich on Friday and decided to spend some time at the weekend to work on the site. I sat down yesterday for about 6 yours and started to work on the site. All major changes are done already. A little bit of fine tuning here and there in the next couple of weeks.

I changed the overall blog layout a little bit. I moved the sidebar from the bottom of the page to right side and added some new widgets. I also changed the color palette and disabled some plugins that wasted a lot of resources. I hope you like the redesign. I would be happy if you leave me a message as a comment or in the sidebar.
Here is a another video of the day. It’s a piano version of Linkin Park “In the End” performed by David Side. Enjoy!

I played a little bit around with wordpress and implemented a section called Links for displaying my blogroll (or called link list). Over the next couple of weeks i will add more and more of my bookmarks in the Links section.

In addition to that, i changed the link color and the background color. Perhaps tomorrow i’m in the mood to switch back to orange…who knows.

I just updated to WordPress 2.5 RC2. Get it now and test it. I also added a new section on the start page, displaying shared items from my Google Reader.

Some of the designs are really awesome..i’m just thinking…changing my website design….Stop! There is no time and need to do that. I’m very happy with the current design.

Not bad at all. But we should keep in mind, that estimated 80% of the traffic is generated by Spambots. The actual spam counter stands at 19,390. Unbelievable to be true.
