This was the main view of the site. After all, it’s sole purpose originated from the posts. The portfolio was an after thought, which was obvious from its implementation.

Notice the “edit” link next to the post titles. Clicking that would transform the post into a form allowing me to edit that post inline.

This view shows the latest posts over the last two weeks. Should there not be any posts within that period, it would use the month number as the limit. So in May, if there were no posts within the last two weeks, it would show the latest five (May = 5th month).

This was the first implementation of a 3-column layout on my personal site. The left and right columns were a static width, while the center column was fluid. Regretfully, I should have had a max-width set on an outer wrapper, because a wide screen monitor looked awful. Oh well.

I removed the admin section entirely with this version. All of the admin functions were inline with the use of ajax. Upon logging in, a menu would appear. If you were in the portfolio section, the appropriate menu(s) would appear; if you were in the posts section, the appropriate menu(s) would appear; and so on. I later realized that having the admin functionality that way felt a little sloppy, but for this version, that’s how it was.

I kept this version for a while, and was pretty happy with it. I later revised it a bit, but it was based off of this design.
