ToeInWater - New Theme

Those of you who visit this site will no doubt have noticed the new theme! It's based on the one I created for toomanygoodbyes.com, but adapted to take into account all the things you see in a blog: blogroll, tag clouds etc.

Again, when I have finished the tidying up of some of the code, I will make it available as a download.

New Website Launch: toomanygoodbyes.com

Today, 02/08/2008, I uploaded a brand new site!

TooManyGoodbyes.com is dedicated to bringing new listeners to the music of Elegant Simplicity. The site is focused, streamlined, ultra modern, compliant and very, very fast!

It was built using BlogEngine.Net, but using it in a very novel way. Instead of it being used as a blog, I converted it to be a basic CMS system. If you visit the site, there is no way you would know it was not a blog. It was very easy to do the conversion: it was simply a case of removing all the things not required and switching off various functions in the settings page.

The theme is brand new, based very loosely on the Clarity theme. I call it ClarityBlackCMS. I will make it available as a download soon for those of you interested in using BlogEngine.NET as a simple CMS system.

As well as the usual BlogEngine.NET stuff, I created several custom controls: the side bar subscribe/unscubscribe box, Paypal buttons, testimonials and album promo. The site works beautifully in all browers. Altogether, it took maybe 36 hours in total to build from start to finish, including writing all the copy, which is original to the site, as well as creating the .pdf downloads and the mp3 samples.

Why not check it out?
