Blog // Phase two has finally landed…

Finally…after an incredibly busy period in my life I have managed to find some time to design and develop the next installment of quirksmode.co.uk. Aside from the new CSS3 effects, Drop Down Menu and a couple of other visual tweaks, aesthetically not too much has changed, this was more about improving what was under the hood.

The HTML, CSS and JS have all been tightened up and the pages are now a lot more lightweight and load much faster. I am proud to say that the biggest addition is my new DJ website which is a sister site of quirksmode containing mixes and information about myself as a producer and performer. It also is where you can find my custom midi script for the APC-40, something that I have been working on for a very long time and am so happy to finally be able to share it with the rest of the world. Multisite is not the only new WordPress feature that I have implemented, below is a list of some of my favorites (click the links for more information on each of these features):

• Nav Menu with Drop Down
• Post Thumbnails
• Custom Write Panels
• Themed Login and Registration
• Multisite

These improvements have allowed me to remove a vast amount of custom code that I had previously written, keeping things a lot simpler and allowing new content to be inserted so much easier than before. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates over the coming months, my next goal will be to improve the overall design of the site as it is nearly 4 years old now and in desperate need of a lick of paint!!
