Portfolio Splash

Posted in Post-It Notes, To Do List at 4:31 pm by Chris

I’ve added the Portfolio Splash section to the main page, both to spice things up there as well as to draw attention to that section of my site. My intention is to have it set up that each day a different ’splash’ is selected from my portfolio and placed up there. That way the content will stay relatively ‘fresh’ and keep things from getting stale as it were.

At present I don’t have the updating function written or installed, due to time constraints, and a need for attention elsewhere on my site. However, within the next couple of weeks, I plan to be putting a little bit more time into my portfolio and its content, and I would expect to see that upgrade come along with that.

My idea is fairly simple: the Portfolio Splash section will either be a php include file that gets swapped out daily with one of a number of pre-prepared ’splash files’, or it will be a database-driven thing, with a flag set on the item that is being shown that day.

I am leaning more towards the former idea than the latter, as it will lend itself more towards keeping database-traffic (and thus site load time) down, as well, it will require less setup. (I’ll only have to put the changing script in place and develop the files as opposed to having to write an interface for it in the control panel, or hacking it into WordPress.)

At any rate, stay tuned! More, greater, and newer things are coming to this little corner of the web, courtesy of yours truly. :)
