Site Changes for 2010

My site

With the long 4th of July Weekend, I thought it was time for my yearly site refresh. After upgrading to WordPress 3.0 (which has a number of advanced features like Custom Post Types and Multiple Sites installations), I decided to make two major cosmetic changes to the site.

I decided to change the site’s theme to Thirty Ten, a three-column version of the new WordPress default theme, Twenty Ten. Like all of the times I change themes, the old theme is still pretty good, but I just felt the need to experiment with a new design. I especially like that asides have been given their own style and that it’s easy to place my own header images (which I hope to do in the coming weeks).
Since I recently joined up with an online advertising company, I wanted to understand more about the business. So I reactivated my Google Adsense account, and decided to place ads on my site and feed. I had resisted putting ads on my site since I first started it (which when I think about it seems odd, since I was making less money then I do now), but it felt right to try this out. We’ll see how this experiment goes.

So check feel free to check out my new web site at allen.alew.org.

had such an awesome day yesterday. I guess it was a great combination of Berkeley alums, Thai food, and wine. Mad props to @juvieg as well #

thinks the worst thing about working at an advertising company is having to turn off ad blocking on his browser at work and at home. # Powered by Twitter Tools Related posts: Twitter Updates for 2010-05-18 Twitter Updates for 2010-07-30 … finish reading Twitter Updates for 2010-05-20 Related posts:
