The new SOJo

Alright, so I didn’t cause as many problems as I had expected. I chose to use a customizable theme, Copyblogger, by Chris Pearson, for a few reasons:

I’m not trying to sell myself as a designer. Although I’ve gotten much better since I was told to study up on design, and I can identify good esign and elements of good design, I’m just not up to creating on my own yet.

Part of my inability to design is due to lack of time. With three jobs and a full course load at school, I just don’t have the time to design and code this site in time to impress potential employers.

I chose Copyblogger for its clean design and easy customization. I customized some of the colors to reflect an earlier design concept of mine that didn’t get completed, but I loved the color palette.

Now, instead of my portfolio being a separate Web site, it is integrated here. I removed the sidebar from those pages to prevent distraction from more important things like my resume and clips.

I’ve got some more changes floating around in my head, but for the most part, I’m satisfied and won’t be making any more drastic changes. I think this implementation will make it easier to keep everything updated and organized.
