Notice anything different?
(Well besides the fact that I’m posting something for the first time in a few months…)
That’s right, I got a new website! I’ve been working on this design refresh and moving everything over from my old site for a while, and now it’s finally live! Things may be changed and tweaked as I use it more and gain any feedback, but I’m quite excited and very happy to show off the new look to the world!
You may be asking, “What are some of the new, fancy things this website brings to the table?” Well, let me give you a quick rundown:
- The website is fully responsive! What does that mean? It means you can look at this website on your phone, tablet, or computer, and everything on the site will adjust accordingly to fit the size of your screen! Go ahead and check it out now by simply re-sizing your browser window to see how it works. Obviously some aspects of my site may lose some of their impact on a smaller screen, but the point is you now have a choice in how to view it!
- Bigger pictures! I mean seriously, the pictures are big and beautiful and everywhere! Are they too big? Are they unwieldy? You tell me. How will you tell me you ask?
- Facebook comments on blog posts! With this new website, commenting on posts via Facebook is now completely built-in. If you have a Facebook account, you can leave a comment or have a discussion. This makes life easier for everyone I feel. Speaking of blog posts…
- New blog post layout! I have much more flexibility in the look of blog posts now. As you can see, I’ve gone the “Full-Width” approach. No sidebar or drop-downs on the right side of the post. Posts are now just images and text. I also have different options for displaying images in blog posts. To see this at work, head on over to a post about a wedding (if you don’t want to choose one, here you go), and scroll down to the images and you’ll see exactly what I mean.
- Image Lightboxes! Most images you can now click on to open them up in a pop-up “Lightbox.” In some cases this lets you view the image larger. In others you probably don’t need to bother, but you now have a choice!
- More social sharing options! This is another big one. You’ll see at the end of every post the option to share to Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and Pintrest. It’s all built right in, so if you have an account and want to share a post with the world (and you know I want you to share it with the world) you can!
Now none of these new and lovely features will mean a thing if I don’t keep populating the site with new stuff. Well luckily for you I plan to do just that! I already have one wedding in the books for this summer, and have another in less than 2 weeks. I also have some images to share from my winter hibernation. It’s going to be a good summer, I can feel it!
I look forward to sharing my work with you all!
