Against all possible odds, I redesigned the theme to adapt it a little bit more to my taste.

I wanted a bigger area for text, and basically that meant retouching all CSS elements inside the wrapper. I can see a clear case for those who prefer liquid versus non-liquid cascading style sheet elements. It took some time and lots of writing codes for colors and numbers for sizes in paper stickies to get the job done. There was nothing scientific about it, more trial and error than anything else. And I still have many doubts about if I keep website and post as separate entities (which for the moment I will).

My initial thoughts were to keep more static elements such as my design portfolio and resume in the website and use the blog for more dynamic content, such as writing. But my lack of decisiveness kept me from either writing more posts or changing the whole enchilada. Last night I stayed late playing around with my HTML files but I keep hitting the same wall: web engines are much faster at indexing, tabulating and all that administrative work that HTML pages are not. I could roll my own, but I program in Python and Ruby, and my Yahoo! host only allows Perl and PHP, neither which I care to learn right now…

So for the moment being I will try to finish here and see if I can post at least twice a week. There is a lot less people coming here than my previous and public Wordpress blog.
