As most of you have probably figured out by now, I’ve got a new website, designed by the one-man-genius-shop that is Cleave Design. Adam did a great job adapting the tools that made this redesign affordable to make the website do all kinds of fun things I’d hoped to have done, and that probably should have cost me more money than they did. Thanks, Adam!
(And thanks to all of you who patiently sat through a gazillion notifications of changes in the RSS feed, before we remembered to turn it off while we worked.)
So here’s a tour of the new site: I’m advertising the latest and greatest of all my wares on my homepage, instead of taking people straight to the blog. When I publish a new piece, that’s where you’ll find out about it, assuming you care about that sort of thing. The blog itself is a little more streamlined; the categories are simpler and, mostly, geographic. One of these days, I’m going to tackle the tags, so that the categories and tags work together better to give you quick and easy custom navigation through my many, many words…
Meanwhile, I’ve tried to organize my articles in a more user-friendly way, and I hope to fill up that multimedia page with more professional and personal projects.
Let me know what you think — what works for you, what doesn’t, what you’d like to see more or less of. And please keep reading. It’s great to have you. And when I get back to Africa full-time in March, it’s going to get even better.
congratulations, Jina! very good-looking new homepage.
It was a pleasure to work with you Jina – I’m really happy with how it all turned out and hope that your readers will enjoy it as well!
