08.28.2010 – Welcome to kevinsteele.com version 5.0, a design many years in the making. In fact, if you have been here in the last year you might not even think it had changed.
¶ Since 2001 I updated my home page much like a blog, by hand, usually when I added new photo series. Over time easier and better blog publishing systems became available and by 2007 I evolved a design I planned to duplicate with some sort of blog system.
¶ It took me until now because: 1. I’ve been busy; 2. I needed to be able to make exactly what I wanted; and 3. I struggled with many platforms. Blogger & Feedburner, along with Tumblr and a few new skills, turned out to be the right mix for me.
¶ Once I replicated the previous design exactly — it was important to me to finish the project I had started – I then made incremental improvements. I added titles to my posts so they can link to individual pages, for example.
¶ I rewrote much of the side column of the home page including refreshing the directory of Kevin Steeles. As I post more I'll tweak the Blogger and Tumblr parts. I'll need to see some comments before I can tweak them.
¶ For now I’ve set up three Tumblr blogs for photos: Portraits of Queen west, Brand Name Litter, and Toby's Blog (for cat pictures).
I’ll sometimes invite comments. Like now.
