Redesign (Mostly) Complete
My fettig.net redesign is mostly complete. I’ve got a new stylesheet
applied to all pages except the search
page (which I’m neglecting until I have time to give it some
attention).
The biggest change is that I’ve made the site less weblog-centric. For
the past three years I’ve had my weblog as the home page of fettig.net,
because there wasn’t much else to see here. Now I’m anticipating (and
hoping) that there will be more visitors coming specifically to check
out Hep, who may or may not be interested in the weblog. So I’ve
demoted the weblog to a /weblog folder.
Since the last redesign I’ve been managing the whole site in Movable
Type, but now I’m also writing some static HTML files and Wiki pages.
So I tried to build a stylesheet that would make it easy to put a
unified look on pages without a lot of markup. It’s working really
well so far - it only took about half an hour to write a PmWiki skin
that worked with the rest of the site.
Speaking of which, I have a Wiki
now. I’m planning to use it for Hep documentation, and maybe other
things. Many thanks to metafeather, who

PmWiki. It’s exactly what I was looking for: super easy to set up,
support for sub-sections, easily modified templates.
If you read this weblog through an RSS reader, drop by
href="http://fettig.net/">fettig.net and take a look around. (And
don’t forget to force-reload to pick up the latest stylesheet.)
