If you are paying attention to my site, I have to ask- why? But if you are- well then you would notice there is a brand new layout- new articles and much more been put up.
Trinest.com over the past few years has become more and more messy I guess you could say. It’s layouts in 2010 ranged from “pat on the back good” to “are you high on something bad”. In the last few months of the year I had been working on a new style- but for some reason it just never clicked with the site- so I decided to put the project on hold and work on The Chip Behind The Idea.
The Chip Behind The Idea, was a Video Game blog I had for a few months. The short lived adventure was something separate from Trinest.com, mainly because over the years the site has been riddled with horribly written articles and an identity crisis like no other.
That is where this new design comes in, its main goal is to clean up the site and once then start on brand new content. Which will only really start rolling once I get all these older articles up.
The older articles have to go through a process which involves checking to see if they are still relevant, what if at all did they offer at the time- and if it contains out of date information- is it informative to the reader? Lots of content on Trinest.com where in the ranges of Video Game blog posts and “hey I just made a new layout what do you think guys” types of posts.
Most of those posts- I’m ditching, reading them now- they either had resources which I no longer which to host- or they are quite pathetic recantations of something. Last year I did a similar thing which involved cleaning out previous posted posts. Which is happening again- but in a more striker manner. The site is a brand new clean install of word press, and I’m adding as I go what I want and how I want it presented. Once I pick the content, I have to make a header image- you will notice each article contains a header image. This will continue across the site.
The articles will also have to be fitted into the current range of categories. At the time of writing there are; Life, Video Games, Movies, Other, Projects, Downloads. This article is listed as Life- but usually something of its nature would be under Projects- as its detailing the site, what the site achieves etc. But I decided this post is more about me, then it is about the site.
In March 2011, it also marks the 7th year of a live website by me. This year I hope this layout lasts a year- instead of been replaced in 5 seconds, otherwise all this work would really be moot.
If you are wondering as well, at the time of writing I have only re-uploaded from March 2010 Articles. There are also articles within that section which haven’t been uploaded but their content will be reused some how on the site at a later date. For example the “Around the Web” articles, and some design based ones.
