I have been meaning to redesign G3 for a while, but one thing or another has got in the way. When the oxford geek pack and alun all sent me a whole load of books i dived in and started reading and learning.
I have been reading through the three books in the @media bag (thanks to john hicks for the bag, and the rest for the contributions to it) learning stuff in XHTML and CSS again. doing this has really reignited my love for coding and making websites.
I have had a “newer” version of G3 on my site for a while, but i hadent uploaded it, this was for a number of reason (the biggest being the lack of an internet connection when i coded it) This version however was fins on my localhost, but was where near ready for putting online.
After reading though andy buds & co’s Blog Design Soulutions I didcided i would put up this version and start renovating it.
This site is still largly a work in progress, I have tried to hunt down and kill all the Stupidly big gaps, and i hope to be getting and archive page on the site soon
I am also going to be tidying the code, adding RSS, and ATOM feeds, addding some microformat usfulness and i will also be adding a few more little bits of coolness
I am off to go and read some more of the “ blog book “ as it has been become know
I have much to learn!
