Updates and Changes

imagined by: James Mathias

Long overdue and needed changes occurred ’round here tonight. I’ve had a big list of things to tweak, fix, replace, move, delete and strangle on this web-site for over two years now. Somehow I found the will and energy to tackle the entire list tonight, wow.

Looking around you’ll notice the changes, some subtle some in your face. For a complete list of changes you can check the changelog, but quickly some of the more obvious things are the change of the face in the header, to a much more recent and leaner version of moi, the removal of the “stuff i dig” and “kiosk” pages and addition of the illustrations and blog archive items to the main menu. You may have to clear your cache and refresh a few times to see the new graphics.

I also split the archives into Illustrations and writing sub sections.

I added a new banner to the sidebar for FIT, my fitness blog and the FITADEL forums. And I updated the onelotus banner to match the new logo.

Many more changes occurred as well. Have fun looking around and discovering little things.

I’m going to try and get some original posts done in the next few days so keep checking back.

You know the score, keep it clean and on topic. “Spammers” & “trolls” are decimated on sight.

The new picture looks cool, but it does look like you just grabbed a photo of yourself from 10 years back lol

James Mathias

it’s a picture from exactly 20 days ago, actually.

Sulcalibur

Then take it as a HUGE complement big grin

James Mathias

Will do, part of the reason for the pic change is that I’ve lost over 58 kilos since I first launched the design with the original head shot. I wanted the head to be more current. It’s a ridiculously huge/drastic change visually.

Aunt Rob

Hi James,
Good to see you back. My morning coffee will taste much better now!!

Love ya….

James Mathias

I hope to make your mornings brighter smile

Love you too.

Bonita in Pink

Looks great but…
I do miss seeing your previous face shot on there. =/

LOL!

James Mathias

So you are saying you prefer me fat?

Roger

I think she means she got used to the other “image” of you.

Remember, a lot of people don’t judge people based on their weight (I know I don’t).

James Mathias

I know that. But, I also can’t let the picture that is now wholly unrepresentative of myself continue to represent me. I know folks react differently to change, but I thought of the things I did, that the photo update would be the least controversially.

Roger

Lol.

I like the new picture. And to be honest, I prefer it to the old one, but not because of the weight size. I just think it has more punch to it.

James Mathias

Yeah I agree, it was taken with my 12.1 MP Canon G9, whereas the original was taken with a 3 MP Canon P&S, the quality is definitely evident, also, for some reason to me it looks more dynamic, more “3D” like it pops out of the page more.
