Finally, the site has a favicon. I kept forgetting because my bookmarks still showed up with the icon from the previous theme, so I never noticed it was missing. Hopefully the new one will actually show up for you too – let me know if it doesn’t.
Look, glass. I'm practically a Mac user already.
Also, you may note the bunny logo in the title. It took over six-billion hours in MS paint, or, you know, an hour or so in Inkscape and Photoshop. This is the reason I will never be an artist.
I guess very few people have seen KCNB in its original form. If you’re interested in some of the previous (hideous) themes from the site, I’ve stuck them up on my portfolio in the section titled “Web Development”.
Probably the most interesting is the theme that almost came into being this time around:
KCNB Fresh Front Page
I’m still trying to find the source code for the terrible blogging/forum software I wrote before – I know it’s archived somewhere. I’ll get it up here too if I can get hold of it.
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?
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 
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.
So, any of you who’ve been hanging around longer than a couple of days (ok, so noone. You’ll just have to take my word for what follows) will have noticed that there have been a few changes around the site lately.
As you can see, for the first time I’m using a theme which I did not create myself. I have plans for how I’d like the site to look in future, but given my lack of time for web programming and my hatred of PHP, I suspect KCNB’s appearance may not change for some time. I do intend to keep updating the site, but I wouldn’t hold your breath for regular posts. I’ll write when I have something to say.
Suffice to say from my lack of updates (again), blogging isn’t really working out for me. I’m kind of sick of this updating for a couple of months, having uni, and giving up again thing. So I won’t be posting to KCNB in its current form any further.
However, I have found something which was working well for me: Tumblr. I guess most of those posts wont mean a lot to anyone but myself, but I found it a great way to keep my thoughts organised during a project and stay on top of links and sources I’ve used.
This in itself is not really enough: I’d like to have a space to maintain my portfolio of projects and games. So my intention is to cut things back here, have space for my work and use it more as a personal homepage, and incorportate a micro-blog into the site. This means I can easily share what’s going on in a way that is useful to both myself and hopefully to others facing similar problems, with a system I might actually use, and also have the space to make longer, more thought out posts if the need arrises.
