The Old Portfolio

This was a quick version of some sort of portfolio. It was nothing more than this list of projects, though. There was no individual page for each project, which is something that I later realized I wanted.

The screen shots were resized using attachment_fu and there were only two versions: thumbnails and mid-size. Clicking on a thumbnail would open up a lightbox of the mid-size view. It was incredibly bland and was more-or-less a reminder to myself that I needed to fix it up someday.

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.
