karlrees.com 3.0
I've finally finished renovating my site. I haven't changed a lot of content, but I've reorganized things to focus on consulting. And I've made it look a lot nicer.
I built the new site with two purposes in mind. First, it had to work as a marketing vehicle for my consulting services. Second, it had to retain archived content of my old personal blog (since my new personal blog is at http://karlandangela.reeshome.org) and my poetry collection.
With that in mind, I kept the Movable Type back-end and focused on layout and interface changes. I totally rewrote the templates and style-sheets, streamlining the display of information towards my two intended audiences. Gone (I hope) is the overwhelming clutter of my original site. I believe you will find the new site much more aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate.
Besides design changes, I've also added alternate style sheets for different browsers and environments, as well as a special style sheet for printing. I also had to rename a lot of the files, but thanks to the miracle of htaccess, nobody (not even Google) should notice.
The site is designed primarily to work with IE6+, Firefox 1.0+, Opera 6+, and other browsers of similar modernity (yes, I'm done trying to appease Netscape 4.x). Yes, it also works on IE7 beta (though I had to change from using stylesheet hacks to using conditional stylesheet overlays to get this to work). It looks best in IE thanks to various filters and effects, but it looks pretty much the same on all browsers.
