New Design

Posted on September 11, 2008 by Dani

So, I’ve already made it known that I love to change the look of my websites – and maybe a bit too often. But I think it was due for a change around here. It was getting much too cluttered.

I hope you enjoy the new look. If you’re reading this from a feed, drop by the home site for a visit.

New features:

  • simpler look
  • comprehensive site index to help browse articles and find specific topics
  • and hopefully more posts in the near future. Drop me an email if you have requests/questions.

    • Also, don’t forget this recent addition:

  • my Twitter feed – a great way to ask questions, share links, chat, or just find out what I’m up to.

UPDATE: Based on feedback, it seems that the site isn’t working properly in Internet Explorer. I don’t know how to fix this yet, so sorry for the inconvenience. If any web-saavy readers out there know of a fix, please let me know.

UPDATE #2: Okay, IE issues should be fixed now. Thanks Jared and Mitch for your help!

I was going through my archive of old site designs the other day, and I was amused and appalled. I thought it would be fun and educational to share them here, even if there is a slight risk of embarrassment.

I have had a pretty brief illustration career – under 4 years – but in that time I’ve had eight website designs. Eight! That is not something I would recommend, and if I were to go back in time I would have exercised a little more restraint. However, I learned a lot about web design, which has been an invaluable skill for showcasing my portfolio, building blogs, and marketing myself on the internet.

So, here it is – the history of danijones.com. If you’ve been following my work for a while, you might even recognize some of these. I hope you are able to learn from my successes and failures.
