Oh yes. That is a brand new theme you see before you. Thoughts? Opinions?
It’s a bit minimalistic (read: boring) and relies more heavily on the default Kubrick theme than I would like, but it shows up and seems to work – what more could you ask for? Hopefully being plain and simple means I won’t get sick of it as soon as I have with other themes, and it’s as simple as can be – no magazine style front pages to fiddle with and waste time on.
If you want any of the source code, drop me an email and I’ll fire it off to you. I don’t think there’s anything particularly complicated or inspiring in there, but if you’re curious let me know.
PS. Did I mention I *HATE* web coding?
Linking To Me
On this note, I’ve also pointed http://hazelmckendrick.com at my about me page (which still hasn’t been updated unhappyface), as you can hopefully see from the different banner I’m using there. If you’re linking to me in any sort of professional or academic capacity, I’d appretiate if you could use that link instead. Blogging people – feel free to stick with kcnb. Cheers 
Portfolios
A few of my friends have now got their portfolios online (or will do in the near future) – please go check them out on my links page.
I like it. Sure, it’s minimalist… but it’s clean.
I love the links in the header, they’re awesome!
Later Hazel.
Thanks Craig
I was struggling to think of text for some of the links – the Games one for example will hopefully change when I think of something more interesting to write.
Just realised my gravatar still matches my old theme, I’ll need to go change that too.
I think it looks fine. Curious: what’s wrong with web coding?
@ashok EVERYTHING.
1. WordPress is PHP based. PHP is completely inconsistant, and to be honest downright messy. It’s hard to write anything that doesn’t feel like a complete hack.
2. HTML and CSS. Just when you get things looking correct in one browser, you have to open up IE and find everything is broken.
3. It’s time consuming, but web coding on the level I’m working at is never that complicated – I’d rather be writing a game.
