I’ve reconstructed the site as a WordPress blog and so far I’m pleased with the results. I’m building upon an existing theme, Journalist, which I previously used in an earlier install of WordPress, and have mimicked the old site without too many complications. It helps that Journalist is a simple, elegant, bare-bones design. I was able to easily adapt the existing CSS and use the same graphic elements without any problems.

As the class continues, I hope to rebuild the theme from scratch, and then build a new original theme.

Wonder if I can get some of this scratch?

OK, I now have WordPress installed as my CMS on paco.org, and soon all content will more here.

If you’re looking for my portfolio, that page is still found here.

Soon I’ll incorporate a slideshow widget to handle the galleries:

Now, with video!
