As you may have noticed macaoidh.name has changed big time in the last few days.

* Reader Sighs, not another bloody theme change… *

You are right, this is not just another theme change but a complete website overhaul! Over the past few months, in fact ever since I made the blog, I have been changing theme pretty regularily. That is because I never found a damn theme that I actually liked! So the other day I was bored and said f**k it I’ll just make my own theme and then everything will be the way I want it right? Wrong. No actually your right I just wanted to grab your attention again!

Then acting on my bordness I thought about the idea for a few days and came up with and ingenious idea to loose all of my blog traffic – move the blog to a new subdomain! And that’s exactly what I did and that’s exactly where you are now. In my subdomain, your in my subdomain. Being a web developer and not a web designer I have to think about designs for a few days before something hits me. And a few days ago this design hit me. So I made it.

Just in case you have not yet noticed, macaoidh.name is now split up into three different websites! Overkill I say. Who said that? Anyway.. there is my web design/developement portfolio located at http://portfolio.macaoidh.name, my blog located here at http://blog.macaoidh.name and my home page located at http://macaoidh.name. My blog being a blog runs WordPress, so that’s one WordPress theme I had to come up with. Both my Homepage (I really don’t know what I was thinking about making that…) and my Portfolio run Furasta CMS, which to those of you that aren’t complete randomers and actually know me, is my CMS. I own it. It’s mine. Is liomsa é.

Bored yet? So am I.

So I now have a nice wee set up going on which I don’t plan to change in the foreseeable future. I might actually release my wp theme at some stage, I’ll see what people think of it first. At the moment I would like some comments on the design. Display problems? I think not. Unless you are using IE6 because that’s like the only browser it’s not tested in. One design problem that struck me; to sidebar or not to sidebar? I decided in the end as you can see to go for not to sidebar. All WordPress blogs have sidebars, at least all that I have seen. So I decided not to conform and to but my RSS link up on the main menu.

That’s about it. If you are a new reader or an old reader who’s feed got messed up by the domain change, then don’t hesitate to subscribe to my feed! It’s the bright orange icon on my main menu.
