THE PORTFOLIO.

Minn is back, and it’s better than ever. With a new, original (I think) three-column layout that uses floats instead of absolute positioning, Minn will fill any browser window to the fullest and maximize your reading experience!

Tested in modern browsers. &c &c.

I had loads of fun with this one. One of the prettiest mockups I’ve ever created nearly ruined by the fact that it’s completely un-layout-able. I was able to get around that, though! (Except not for IE6. Cue heart attack.) And now it’s finished in all its glory, ready and waiting to burnish the face of your website to a mirror shine.

XHTML 1.0 and CSS3 valid.

Tested in IE8, Firefox 3.5, Opera 9/10, and Safari 4.

A Time to Speak is a literary magazine staffed by students from Providence Extension Program, a homeschool program in southern Ohio. I, a former student, was contracted to design the website for the ATTS people (these people include my sister).

It’s a very simple blog design, since all they needed was essentially an easy announcement system and periodic large updates, which is exactly the kind of thing Wordpress is good at.

Tested in IE8, Firefox 3.5, Opera 9/10, and Safari 4.

TUMIZA is a red and brown corporate site theme designed for GuruMarco.com. It started out as a web design mockup that I cleaned up and now-ized, but with varying requests from the guys at GuruMarco it eventually evolved into a more 90s-ish, compact, darker theme.

Tested in IE8, Firefox 3.5, Opera 9/10, and Safari 4.

Minn is another minimal theme (did the title tip you off?). The point of this theme was to see how few template files I could use and still create a decent setup. This theme is composed of four files: index.php (with lots of conditional tagging), functions.php, style.css, and sprite.gif (the arrows in the navigation and sidebar). I could have omitted the sprite and used some other placeholder but it’s 131 bytes so w/e.

It’s entirely possible that this theme won’t work if you don’t have the default theme installed on your system, but I haven’t checked.

XHTML 1.0 and CSS3 valid.

Tested in IE8, Firefox 3.5, Opera 9/10, and Safari 4.

It also supports Yoast Breadcrumbs natively.

ESL is a black and green, minimal theme. It’s left-aligned and has two sidebars, as well as an integrated search form.

XHTML 1.1 and CSS3 valid.

Tested in IE8, Firefox 3.5, Opera 9/10, and Safari 4.
