Home page

There’s a very little-known (and little-promoted) homepage I’ve had for a couple of years now called “Prodigal Paul”. I’ve been unsure how to use it effectively (along with this site as well), so it’s mainly sat dormant with a bunch of pages of self-promotion that were both unnecessary and annoying (even to me). Further, it was made in Apple’s ill-fated (and oft-maligned) website-building program called iWeb, so I’ve always sort of hated the look.

Well, as I said earlier, I have a guest post on Lore Ferguson’s blog Sayable today and she links to that homepage as my “blog”. Knowing that many more people will be going there over the next couple of days due to my post, I decided to do a little overhaul of the page last night. Let me know what you think!

Here’s what it looked like before:

This morning I got an email from WordPress (the blogging platform I use) saying that in two weeks they will be retiring the blog theme that I have long used. They said they would be replacing it with the theme you see on the site right now. So, I went ahead and switched over early. It doesn’t look very different, but it does come with a lot of different options and the coding behind the site is sort of different so font sizes and element spacing is a bit different. It may take me a few days to fix the new issues and pick what settings I like and such, but I should be good to go pretty quickly. Secondly, the header you see at the top of the page is the new default header for this theme. Do you like it? I can easily go back to my original header which is the picture you see at the top of this particular blog post. Thanks for the feedback and the reading.
