Mystic v4
Categories PC, Web Comments (0)
After almost eleven months, here's the 4th version of this blog/portfolio. I started to planing this version, very soon after I created previous. But - I started to working on it, a month ago. I started with the design and HTML+CSS code. The dynamic part of the page, it's another story. For this version, I'm using my own CMS (Content Management System), which I was creating for quite some time. The system it's still in _beta_, so you can expect some errors, but I think nothing (too) big. :)
But why??
Well, why my own system? -- To be honest - it was just learning project actually, and fun thing to do. In this past year, when I was creating it, I wrote approximately 17.000 lines of code for it, and did at least two complete designs for administration. :) I did my own template engine (which it's still a bit buggy). However, the whole _software designing, planing experience_ was great I think. :)
So, the system it's available for free - well, it's open-sourced actually. Anyone can take it and use it as he/she wants.
Design
In previous version, I had dark background and light text - and that was not the best for the eyes (especially because I have quite a lot of text in some posts), so in this version, I decided, to do light background. I wanted to have kind of natural style - which would be wide and quite open, big letters - well, just as readable as possible.
Technically, I considered only _modern_ browsers (so I didn't thought about IE6,IE7).
I'm not satisfied with current design at all. I'm thinking about redesign, but - as I'm having some other work right now, that won't happened soon.
Content
Content will stay the same, as it was. I'm still writing just for my personal joy. I did, however, translated my blog, to (my poor) English; I had quite a lot of reasons to do so, but mostly I did it, to practice English (writing) and to open my blog to wider audience.
