Creating nick.gehring.me
The cool kids call this a colophon. Here are the guts of nick.gehring.me…
- I am loathe to point out the “HTML5” in this site, but there is some. I use this buzz-friendly term to describe tags in my content, including section, article, time and others. This makes my site no better than any other. I just think it’s forward (or even present) thinking.
- Ditto CSS3. Look! There’s some box-shadow and border-radius tags!
- This site features a basic “responsive design.” If you are using a modern browser, grab one of the browser corners and drag it while viewing this page. See how the content adjusts itself as you adjust the window size?
- Like many sites I’ve created, this is managed through WordPress, an incredibly flexible piece of
bloggingCMSsoftware. - When you click on a navigation item, such as “About,” I use a little AJAX to pull the appropriate posts for that tagged category.
