Sketchblog & Posterous
I recently relocated my Blogspot sketchblog to posterous. I prefer the posterous framework to blogspot’s, and it plays less havoc with my feeds. I have been using posterous for a while to scrapbook inspirational tidbits I come across.
To boot, I have assigned my SketchBlogger.co.uk domain to it, and drafted up a theme that’s live right now. Still needs plenty of tweaking but I’m happy so far. I’ve used the template as an excuse to play around with some CSS3.
The only drawbacks of the template system I’ve come across are the Javascript restrictions, and the fact that @font-face is disabled by default in Firefox if the font is not located on the same server where the site is being viewed (no local storage on posterous — CSS and images are being pulled from another server). I’ve yet to find a way to circumvent this drawback so that I can get my pretty sketched header’s back. In the meantime I’ve contacted them to see if they will allow the execution of Cufon in their templates.
The development of mindResin
I wouldn’t like to call it procrastination, but over a year had gone since I had touched mindresin seriously. Before, mindResin served as a sandbox for projects I was developing, and also as a small portfolio I had knocked up in a couple of nights prior to some job interviewing.
It is still my sandbox, but now serves as a pretty decent landing page, with a comprehensive portoflio (that will be kept up to date. oh yes). The recent desire to expand my ‘footprint’ came partly out of the envy of other portoflio’s out there, but mostly out of necessity. Nowadays, It’s hard to get far in the web-design field without something personal and decent to show for it.
