After a bit more work, the blog page is switched over to the version with a ProcessWire backend. It's been an interesting challenge to hook the pieces up, and has included learning some common CSS tricks that aren't difficult but that I've just never motivated myself to learn. For example, styling an unordered list to create a navigation menu, code that was included in the page numbering for ProcessBlog. Always nice to learn something "new".

I still have a few things to do to finish the transition:

• Finish updating the image links to the updated URL
• Limit the image width on posts so they don't extend off the screen
• Update category and tag descriptions labels so they are readable
• Update the RSS feed to include images
• Update the link to the RSS feed link used by the icon in the navigation for the site
• ...
• Profit

Also, I'm in the process of updating features of the site to use options like a new RSS feed that draws on ProcessWire to generate. I'll update the public link and what feeds into Micro.Blog once I've finished testing.

Over the last week, I've been doing significant updates under the hood of the site. Ideally, the page looks very similar to how it looked before, but it's now connected to ProcessWire on the back to make it easier to update.

One visible update is the complete overhaul of the Design page to include examples of marketing materials that I've created. Check it out for all your beautiful international photo and bespoke stuffed bison needs.

After about a year of the same design, it was time for a quick fall refresh. I also updated a few pages to correct links that had decayed, added a quick copy of this new design to the web design page, and refreshed the side banner.
