After so many months in the making, tweaking little things here and there, I have finally launched a much needed new version of Smaku’s World. I realized for a long time now that my site needed a new look and feel to it, in addition to trying to accomodate a means to show more of my photography. I’ve worked on this site off and on for the past few months now, and am now happy with releasing it to the public.

Although this is a relatively simple look to the site, it was a lot more difficult to lay out as I had to ensure that my wordpress blog was still intact, and that every part of my site was still in working order.

It took a while, but I am pretty happy with the results. Hopefully I will stick with this layout for a while because really, I don’t think I want to go through all that trouble all over again.

Some new changes made:

• The header image will randomly vary from a pool of pictures that I will gradually increase in number as time comes. These photos will no doubt be taken by myself.
• I’ve also added a Flickr button to my header. Since I Flickr on a daily basis now, I see no reason why people here shouldn’t see what I’m up to on that site. There, you’ll see some more photos as I upload them on a regular basis.
• Also, since Flickr is blogger friendly, I can now easily link my Flickr photos within my WordPress blog. You’ll probably see a lot more of my Flickr photos present in my blog entries.
• I’ve added a little page about me. Now you’ll know just a little bit more about yours truly.
• I’ve moved my blog archives to a new section in my site called archives, thereby clearing up the sidebar of clutter.
• My memories section is no longer being updated. After many years of creating mini-sites and posting photos in my memories section, I have decided to stop this as I no longer have the time to create individual mini photo sites for various events in my life.
• With some more time on my hands, I’ll try and make this site a little more graphically rich in order to highlight the various other subdomains and sites that I run.
• Comments have finally been enabled once again! Yippee! For everyone who visits my blog but never leave a mark, please feel free to make a comment on my site!

You’ll also notice that I have removed the shoutbox that was present in my old site. Hopefully with commenting now enabled, you’ll be more motivated to comment on my blog now. I may decide to bring that shoutbox back up in the future though. We’ll just have to see.

That’s it! Have a great day everyone!
