ACJ’s Weblog Integration

Posted

November 24 2003

I finally integrated the weblog into the style and markup of my site. This process actually only took several minutes and bytes. The weblog is no longer served as XHTML1.1, but XHTML1.0, just like the rest of the pages on this site (except for the home page, which is still served as XHTML1.1). The weblog is now linked to the same shortcut icon and StyleSheet as the rest of the pages. The most drastic change I made is probably moving the Calendar from the front to the end of the content. Other changes that I made include:

• Added class="item" to the div element of every main section (for two rather complex reasons that involve RDF and CSS).
• h3 elements are now reserved for section headers. Other h3's are now h4. Some h4 elements were removed.
• External Links are no longer labeled with the name of the author, but with the actual title of the website it refers to.
• Changed the other of appearance of the External Links, making it more realistic. This also required some additions.
• Removed items that were not active from the Archives list. I might change the structure of my archives alltogether.
• Added several div elements and several class and id attributes to the structure of this document.
• Edited the StyleSheet a bit. I tend to use the code tag in my weblog, and the current StyleSheet was rendering it in a tiny corps.

I wish I could get a ISSN. :(

I updated the Photography section of my Portfolio with a series of basketball pictures I made with a digital camera for the photography classes of Alf Schöne in my first year at the Royal Academy. Expect more photography and other additions to the portfolio tonight.
