< p > This might actually be my last blog post .. sort of . Now that I have your valuable attention , please read the rest of the blog post !</ p >
< p > So , a few days ago I started working on a website redesign . However I quickly realized that it was more work than it was worth . So instead , I decided that it would be easier to straight up start from scratch . No , not completely from scratch , that would be ridiculously time consuming .</ p >
< p > However I decided that it would be easier to create the HTML manually , from scratch and then copy over the text ( such as blog posts ) from the older page .</ p >

< p > Anyways , let ' s get to the point of this blog post which is , I need suggestions regarding the redesign . Anything . What should I implement , what kind of design should I go for ? This time , I am able to use PHP for the header , which I will likely end up doing however as always , speedie . site will stay as an anti - JavaScript website and as such , I am not going to add a single line of it even if it makes my website look nicer .</ p >

< p > Here are some ideas I ' ve got myself :</ p >
< ul >
< li > About me page </ li >
< p > About me page , which will contain information about me , and the software I use .</ p >
2023-04-13 23:20:43 +02:00
< li > Separate 'Projects' category ( for example , https :// speedie . site / projects / speedwm ) </ li >
2022-11-23 10:58:43 +01:00
< p > Right now , project pages are all over the place and difficult to find . Therefore I think it would be much easier to have a projects category .</ p >
2023-04-13 23:20:43 +02:00
< li > Separate 'Blog' category ( for example , https :// speedie . site / blog / post01 . html ) </ li >
2022-11-23 10:58:43 +01:00
< p > There are now many blog posts , and the one you ' re reading only makes the problem worse . Because of this , I need a way to make them easier to sort and keep track of .</ p >
< li > Header and Footer done using PHP </ li >
< p > In my opinion , this is the most important part . Otherwise , If I want to change one thing in the header , I have to manually edit < strong > every single HTML file in the website .</ strong > Doing so can take a very very long time .</ p >
< li > Atom feed </ li >
< p > I might start offering Atom feeds alongside RSS feeds if the benefit makes it worth it .</ p >
< li > Separate feeds for Projects , Wii and philosophy / politics / opinions on the state of the world / technology </ li >
< p > This blog currently has way too many blog posts that don 't really matter a few months after the event. Removing all the ' rchat < version > ' posts from the main blog and uploading them to a separate ' Projects ' feed is going to make it much cleaner and easier for the user .</ p >
</ ul >
< p > As for web design , I don ' t really know what I want to do yet . Will likely go for a minimal design though , as minimalism tends to hide the flaws of not using JavaScript fairly well !</ p >
