GFXMonk.com launches!

Posted Friday, July 23, 2004

Today marks the launch of my new website, "GFX :: Monk" - replacing the old "Tim3d" site. I think the name is far cooler (and definitely unique), and since I don't do much 3D stuff anymore I figured it was time for a change.

All the existing content has been kept from Tim3D, but I've re-done all the backend systems to make things far easier to manage and update. The links page is far cooler now (it's got descriptions and newsfeed links where avaliable).

And of course, how could I change anything without doing an entire site redesign? ;)
I like the new design, it's not as flashy as the previous one but I think its a lot more professional looking and functional. The good news is that It's 100% valid XHTML (except for a few blogger bugs that are out of my control) and 99% valid CSS (the opacity effects on image links isnt standards-compliant). The look of the site is totally seperated from the content now, so in the future you'll be able to switch between multiple styles effortlessly.

Oh, one more thing I've added is blogger-powered comments. These are good because they integrate into the blog page instead of a seperate popup like there used to be, but unfortunately you have to be registered with blogger to have your nickname displayed. Oh well, just post as anonymous and tell us what your name is at the end of your comment :P
