I mean, what else am I going to do with my weekend? RELAX? Pfft.
This is my first HTML5 site with some CSS3 goodies thrown in. I still have a lot of things I need/want to do with it, but at least the bare bones site is now live -- after 1.5 days' work! I feel like I am getting pretty quick. :)
I chose the name "Kani" after much deliberation. My name is LONG [see: current name of this blog], so it's hard to make a brand of it. My name by itself doesn't really convey a theme to build a site around. So I started taking two letters from my first and last name, seeing what I could get; "Kani" ("crab" in Japanese) seemed like it had potential for some cuteness. So now I have a cute little mascot, woohoo! Also important - I don't see any other web designers with this name. So yay!
Next steps:
- IE7 debugging - looks like 100% crap in this browser. sigh.
- IE6 debugging... maybe? Is it still worth supporting this browser...? I mean, when Microsoft itself makes a "Death to IE6" page... I'll probably just have a script that tells people to get with the program and d/l a new browser
- favicon - the cherry on top
- Possible CSS3 parallax background animation - maybe some moving seaweed at the bottom?
- Install a lightbox for portfolio items
- Do a hard launch of the Facebook page
- Maybe make a KaniWeb linked in profile?
- Do something cool with my boring footer
- Style this blog to match the new site :)
- Get a more descriptive domain
