Website Redesign is Finally Done
December 10, 2019
I set the site up earlier this year, using one of the default WordPress themes - TwentySixteen - and some code I wrote myself. The big push then was to get all the old content into the new system and somewhat organized. It was a huge amount of work just to get everything 'good enough', and then I let it lie.
Finally, I came back to the site to make it into what I really wanted. I reworked the theme into something completely new, and went over the content to clean it up and get it fully organized. I'm sure there are still things I've missed, but now the site is a lot better than just 'good enough'.
I also cleaned up the huge mess that WordPress had made of the uploaded images, and added some settings to keep it from happening again. Typically, for a 1MB image file, WordPress automatically creates about 400KB of useless garbage. I'd like to know who thinks that is a good idea. Right now, the site contains 1427 images.
Now it's time to finish a few real projects.
