Working on a new theme for my Portfolio! The theme I’m currently using is just something I grabbed off some site, to get my portfolio up and running. Now that I have time to rework it, I’m putting a little extra time and effort into it. So far my process has been to create a wire frame of the elements, and markup some basic functionality (I created an asset list document to work from, before creating the wires). This will make designing a whole lot easier and permit me to only have to worry about the “pretty factor”, since I’ve already mapped out my functionality and flow.

So, this is the project I’ve been playing with. As you can see it’s slowly shaping itself into the application I want it to be. Still fiddeling with the UI for that chat.
