Manifest Development Redesign 2011: Custom Widgets
In Parts 1 and 2, I talked about the two most important parts of the site- the homepage and portfolio. Today I want to talk about a more subtle, but still important, part of the site- the sidebar.
Manifest Development Redesign 2011: The Portfolio
For the second part of this series, I want to talk about putting my new portfolio together. The portfolio is the most important area for a web developer because it gives the user insight into the type of work he or she does, so I wanted to do it right. It’s now in two places, and is managed a completely…
