My website has a new look

August 13, 2018

I like to tinker, whether it's analog circuits or CSS code. Since I launched the newest version of my website this past March, it's been more or less permanently under construction. A while back I started learning PHP, thinking that it would help me learn to code, and be useful in tweaking all those web apps that use PHP – web apps like WordPress, which is the software running this website. My PHP knowledge is proving very handy as I sculpt this site! I don't have to rely on plugins for everything because I can simply edit the PHP code.

Lately I've been updating the CSS – the code that controls how the website looks (fonts, colors, sizes, white space, etc) – and am pretty happy with the current look. I'm sure I'll change it soon, but in its current iteration I think it's pretty easy to find stuff and read stuff.

This page was created in WordPress as HTML, exported as XML, converted to markdown, and heavily tweaked using command line tools like sed... So it might be weird and is probably missing stuff like pictures.
