I’ve just gone live with the redesign of my blog EFLGeek 3.0.

It’s been a great learning experience for me as this is the first site that I built from the ground up - no templates or themes to adjust and tweak. I designed the graphics in photoshop and then opened up notepad++ and started coding with lorem ipsum text until I got the basic design working before finally moving it onto my EE site and adding EE tags.

Special thanks to all the forum regulars who answered my many posts as I encountered difficulties. A special thanks to Andy Harris who took a lot of his time to help me out via the forums, twitter and several emails - I really learned a lot from him.

Anyhow the blog is live and here is the official redesign announcement.

first site down in my quest to go pro.
