Something Blue Photography :: Philadelphia Wedding Photographer

I am so exhausted that I can’t even begin to describe it… but I can’t stop. Not until I finish typing this post. This post… has been a very long time in the making. Well… not the post itself, but what it signifies. About two years ago, I undertook the task of redoing my website. It was going to be a quick tweek… just a graphical overhaul… and wound up being a complete rewrite. That took a long time. Really really long time.

I had put a lot of work into this site… made lots of changes, wrote more code than I care to admit to… and got a lot of help from my friend Joe. Joe is an outstanding artist. A designer like no other that I’ve ever worked with. I blame Joe for the new logo, the fact that the site actually looks good, and seems to be relatively consistent between browsers. So yeah… basically… if you like the new site, blame Joe. If you don’t like the new site, blame me. This new design was my idea, but I doubt I would have pulled it off half as well if it weren’t for his help, and general willingness to let me pick his brain on almost a daily basis for months at a time. But enough singing his praises. As soon as I find a link to his website, there will be a link on this blog.

Anyhow… there’s lots and lots and lots that I can type and talk about right now. But it’s really late. Most of the old blog posts have broken images because they did not transfer over cleanly, and I don’t have the energy to fix them manually. And now? SLEEP! Allison’s and Trever’s wedding is in a mere 10 hours… or at least that’s when I have to head out. And the sun is going to rise in about one and a half. Welcome to the new Something Blue. The old site is dead. Long live the site!

So I’ve made a huge leap forward in getting this new version of the site ready for prime time! One of the big setbacks was that it’s sitting on a whole new system and I needed to get the contents of the old blog porter over here. I really didn’t want to lose everything that I’ve written before, but bringing it over by hand was not a task I was looking forward to undertaking. Initially, the prognosis was pretty grim; the old and the new were completely incompatible… But in the end, I found a way to do it in an (almost) painless fashion. The short of it is that all of the old content made it over after I massaged a fewhings here and there and begged and pleaded with my computer to be nice to me!

The look of this new blog is a little bit more bare than the old one. Maybe even more than a little bit. But it feels cleaner, and there’s more room for bigger pictures. I think it’s a worth-while trade, and somehow it feels like it integrates with the rest of the site better. Hope you like it!
