I've done a lot since the last snapshot. The problem is that I keep
changing things little by little, so it's hard to remember what is
different. I added the sidebar on the right side to every page which
contains a search box, a quote and whatever else I want. This made
the main page quite simple since it's just the blog. I also changed
some of the colors of the fonts, getting rid of the blue in the
navigation bar. Lastly, I added multiple themes at the bottom
of the page that use cookies so you can change the entire look of
the site.

This isn't too different but I added the nav stuff on the
right instead of in the box (for Comments Archive and View
/ Add Comments) and I changed the color of the hover of
those nav's so it fits in with the rest of the color scheme.
Lastly, I added a search box for google.com to help people
search my site. I added some more space on the front page
by adding a blank column and removing the About Me box so
it's not as crowded.

I decided to try to keep the consistent parent tables across
the whole site, so no matter where you are, there is a
table with all the links in the section you are in on the
top right of the page. I also decreased the number of
items that are in the about me box. I think this works
better with the dynamic news section.

This change was to makes things easier to read. I had to
do some fancy table stuff to get it to look right, but the
news section keeps changing size, so it was hard to make
things look right with the rest of the page.

I added a few more tables and changed the background color to tan.
I didn't keep it like this for long, but it was a good transitional
design.

I got this off of oswd.org and have
been very happy with it. I used the original layout and colors
but have slowly been modifying it. It's
clean looking, and yet works on almost any browser that supports
tables, which is almost all of them now.

I got this off of a free web template site and didn't use it for
very long. I liked it because it looked very nice, but it was very
hard for me to make the rest of the site look like that since I'm
not very skilled graphically. I thought about using it for a main
page and then having a different look to the rest of the site, but
I never got something I was pleased with.

I found some web templates on the web and this color scheme
looked good. I had always wanted to have the ability to
do whatever I wanted on the page, instead of always being
inside a table, so this design allowed nicely for that.
I got sick of it pretty quickly though. At least it worked
on all the browsers (except for CSS but that didn't break
the page)

I thought it would be cool to have a dynamic menu so
I found this API for DHTML and this is what I came
up with. It was very slick, but it wasn't very well
supported in all browsers so that became a problem, and
I wanted my site to work in all browsers possible. I
was really annoying to go to a site using UNIX or Linux
and not be able to use the site, so I think I was
particularly aware of that problem.

| dhtml - Mar 2000 | View |
This begins my fascination with DHTML. I really liked how
you didn't have to reload the page to get to every single
link on the page. This was of course in the rest of the
page (the blue background side bar) but I haven't been able
to find that page, and I didn't want to have to rewrite
it, so you'll have to use your imagination. The only
problem was that if you disabled JavaScript, it wouldn't
work, and there were browser compatibility problems. In
fact, it may not be working right now.

I've only managed to salvage half of this design, but I believe I simply changed the sidebar, leaving the main part of the page the same as it was before.
|
| web_nav - Nov 1998 | View |
This is the image I used for quite some time, and looking
back on it I am not very pleased with it, but it seemed
the best one to use at the time. I also added a navigation
bar at the bottom which was inspired by the navigation bars
on ibm.com. I thought it was cool to make them look like
they were images, when in actuality they are just crafty
tables :).

This image is a lot worse. It looks like an X-ray of worms,
and the text is too big for the image. Very bad, very bad
indeed. Luckily, I didn't keep this for more than a day
I think.
|
| dan_title - Oct 1998 | View |
This one is rather strange, but cool in a strange kind of
way. It reminds me of the beginning and ending of the TV
show Dr. Who. I like the 3D affects too.

This is another attempt at the web graphic. It doesn't
look too shabby in my opinion, but it wasn't that great
either.
|
| web_title1 - Oct 1998 | View |
I decided that the image map was too cluttered so I
wanted to use The GIMP to make something that somehow related
to my site and it's name. The web graphic was born, although
I was never very happy with the way it turned out. I kept trying
to make a better one, but I almost think they got worse as I
continued my efforts. I also added a poll
to my page, but it didn't get used very often.
|
| map - May 1998 | View |
I decided to change the side bar colors and see if I could make it
more user friendly and easy to update. The fewer images there are,
the easier it is to update.

I liked messing around with JavaScript, so this was an
early attempt to do some mouse overs. It didn't turn out
too bad, but I am not impressed with the arrows. I made
them, but I didn't do a very good job of it. The big red
oval is meant to include all of my interests and such in
one big imagemap. I had to keep updating it when I gained
new interests and after time it grew too unwieldy, but I
still think it's a cool idea. Some of the images on the
image map don't have a link associated to them because when
I updated the image I just saved the new one and didn't
keep an old one around, so you can see which ones I didn't
have yet.

| template3 - Oct 1997 | View |
I added my picture on the top left. and took out the coin
images. This is even weaker than template2 :)
|
| template2 - Oct 1997 | View |
Pretty much the same. I added some coin pictures in
different places. Kind of weak now that I look back on it.
|
| template1 - Oct 1997 | View |
I originally built these templates for a web designer
who wanted some home page templates. They weren't very
good I'll admit, but what the heck, it was kind of fun
to do them. I should have added some more variation too.
|
| green_bevel - Sep 1997 | View |
This was a really popular design back in 1997. It seems like everyone
used the bevel on the left. It doesn't look too bad I don't think.
I also like the select box at the top for quick navigation. The
humor list I refer to at the top wasn't really that popular, but
there were a few people on it. I created most of the graphics by
myself, except the coin and the animated GIFs.

When I first discovered I could get a free CS account I
created a very basic web page and submitted it to Yahoo!
and got a personal response that evening. This is the
first page I ever did. I was using an HP-UX box and I just
found pages on the web and did a view source on them
to see how they did it. It was a very exciting moment when
I first got my site on the web, back in December of 1994. |
