Life is like a book of infinite chapters with everyone reading at their own pace - we're not who we were yesterday and won't be on the same chapter next week, we're all on the same journey, we progress.
Time for a change. This site and blog was initially directed at hiring managers, it worked great, the human resource teams thought the website was great. It successfully demonstrated creative potential, communication skills, dedication, and so on, but that was 3 years ago. Today my audience has changed (has become more developer centric), but the growing pains of yesterday linger.
So over the next couple months I plan to revamp this site to better represent my current state and anticipated professional direction.
Site update road map:
- Transition from a showcase / superficial / professional type site to a more personal / how-to / community based / professional site
- Keep it simple
- Replace all the ASP.NET AJAX (ATLAS) widgets with hand coded JQuery or Scriptacolous JavaScript components
- Drop the Home landing page, replacing it with my Journal / Blog
- Drop the Professional Development, Resources menu item
- Drop the Professional Development Landing page, redirect to Reviews
- On the Contact page:
- Remove the lengthy explanation on why I'm using a Captcha
- General Site Design
- Replace all HTML images with CSS images
- Design a new logo
- Design a new color scheme
- Switch the CSS design from a fixed width layout to a liquid layout
Since my last name is hard to remember I'm considering www.adamdotcom.com as my primary domain name, what do you think?
Any recommendations are welcome!
