New "About Me Page" at my web design site.

I made a new "About Me" page at my web design page with a new lay out and new page style.

This about me page was designed first with Gimp and then cut up to make all the different parts of the page. I like this way of designing a page and this is the first page I've done this way.

Cutting up a basic web template in Gimp has a lot more advantages and disadvantages than creating a page with a WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) programmer. Although I did use Kompozer as a visual work place to see the page come together, and to do the css quicker.

The advantages of using the Gimp template are that you have the design already laid out and being about to use better text graphics. The disadvantages are making the design come together with CSS, but that is the best way to learn CSS, is to have to put your design together with it.

New Photo Page and Blog Changes.

I added a new web page at my design site. I used Gimp to design the header and navigation bar.

I also played around with the CSS of my blog here and change the colors and added some borders.
