New Look For KellysWorld.net

With the new year I have given KellysWorld a new look. Some of you had said the old look was too dark. I personally like that black look, but decided I would give some different looks a try. Not hard to make those changes, so why not!

Check out KellysWorld.net and let me know what you think. I think in the next few weeks I will put up screen shots or test pages with different looks to see what everyone likes.

Introducing KellysWorld 3.0

If you haven't visited KellysWorld.net recently, you may not have noticed that it has a whole new look and feel. I call is KellysWorld 3.0; as this is the 3rd major revision to the site. What you are reading now, KellysWorld Times, is a sub-domain of KellysWorld and not actually the primary site. The actual domain of KellysWorld was pretty much stagnate for much of 2005. It was just unwieldy to work on and not much fun. I had more fun working on KellysWorld times and wrapping my brain around CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) in Blogger, the tool I use to make edits and changes to KellysWorld Times. I enjoyed working in it so much I created a few other "blogs" for the family plus one for our upcoming marriage. Those sites though aren't KellysWorld and as someone who enjoys doing a little web editing and playing with new features and tools, I really need to have a fully functional website.

You won't find any fancy features and while the look is new and much improved over the old site, it isn't anything super special. I won't lie to you, it is a template. You may actually see other sites on the web sporting a similar look. Who knows, they may make better use of it.

You will find in KellysWorld the standard fair. There are links to the various family blogs, there is a gallery of photos, a place to send me a quick e-mail, a place to store useful files and even upload some you feel are useful and even a page dedicated to just telling you what's new with the site itself. The gallery is especially cool making use of Flash technology so that all you have to do is sit back and watch the slide show. Having videos on the site should be great in the near future once I have produced a few.

All-in-all it should be a much better site and I hope updated more often than before. For the most updates you can continue to come here, so feel free to bookmark KellysWorld Times; but to say you have actually been to KellysWorld, you will have to go to http://www.kellysworld.net. It's really not that hard... go ahead... you know you want to!

Yay... Done With Basics

I'm finally done with the basics of rebuilding KellysWorld. I finished adding back what was missing, the Christmas lists and added in some more photos. I still have some more albums to add and spruce up the text some, but the basics are complete. Not really saying much it is a pretty small site. Of course the next step is the recreation of Eternal Magic, if I indeed decide to recreate that site. A lot of work went into it, but since I am using a different HTML editor, not sure how I will proceed. I can continue to use the HTML editor I did to originally create it, but that would be a bit of a serious pain since I will have to keep updating it from time to time for a full year. I will have to think on that.

More Changes to Site

Okay, I have made some more minor changes to the site. I discovered that the photo slide show was too big for Internet Explorer on Windows and therefore made the images smaller. That seems to have done the trick and it now appears as it should on IE. I also played around with many various color and style variations and like the black one, I believe the theme or "skin" is called Magnesium. So far, So good. All seems to be looking up.

Still need to add the actual Christmas lists as well as a few more galleries. COMING SOON...

New Site Up

Today I debuted the New And Improved KellysWorld. It is my hope that this new site will be easier to use, nicer to look at and simpler for me to keep up-to-date while allowing me to include the kind of features expected in a website these days. That isn't to say this site is a marvel of HTML coding, far from it. Simply put, as are the skills, so go the site. I will play around with the look and feel of the site, but I do believe I will finally be able to make occasional updates without going nuts.

A few items may have been lost with the debut of this new site, but I will identify those items and add them. The only thing I can think of that I had in my 2.0 site that I don't have now were the Christmas lists for 2005. I just need to add those back in. I also have noticed that some images that were on some of the blogs are now missing and I will need to fix those problems. All-in-all it should be easy to fix.

Feel free to drop me a line and let me know what you think. I will be looking at what other features I can offer and possibly expand what I am doing here. The meat of the site will most likely remain the "blogs" or the personal journals of Tracy, Courtney and myself; but the site proper will include photo galleries and other less transitory items.

Enjoy the new and improved site... KellysWorld 3.0.
