Well up until today I have been running three seperate websites. A Photoblog, a regular Blog and my main business website. I realised that things would be much easier to manage if I could at least merge two of them. So the business website has become part of the blog. Or vice versa, either way my main website is now powered by Wordpress. 

Galleries

In the change to this new site I have temporarily lost some of my galleries of photographic work. So I am currently looking into the best solution to that, because I seem to have that many of them I’d like a slick way of managing them. I have used a few different plugins before and may revisit them.

I now have installed a Galleries plugin and have started importing numerous photographs in to various albums. There is a menu on the right that will allow you to select a specific gallery. Or you can simply click All Photographs to view all available galleries.

So hopefully this will be the last time for a long time that I need to move anything around, and I will be, as usual, continuously tweaking the design, because thats my favourite part about it all. Design.

I will also continue to post short tutorials in Photoshop aswell.

Just wanted to raise this post I was reading this morning on Graphic Design Blog. It reminds us that when designing stuff, the initial stages when you are developing your ideas should be done the old fashioned way. Pen and paper. Its been along time since I actually did pick up a pen and paper, I tend to go straight into Illustrator if its a logo I’m designing.

Having read this article, on my next project I will pencil some ideas down first and see if it takes me down a different route.
