New efliv.com Design
Ever since I bought the efliv.com domain, I’ve been planning to unify the appearance of that site with its sub-domains (blog.efliv.com & tumblr.efliv.com), where most of my content lives. Now that I’ve taken care of a few things, I’ve had a chance to figure all that out.
The design is based off the Depo Skinny Theme by Derek Powazek. It’s a clean theme and I really like the flickr integration at the top. The CSS was easy enough to integrate with Tumblr and my biggest addition is the tabs at the top for better navigation.
I was wrestling with the idea of managing both a Worpress blog and a Tumblr blog but, with the redesign, the sites now act as different sections of the overall efliv.com site. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I’m planning another post on my love/hate relationship with Tumblr and why I decided to keep using the service but, for now, consider the Tumblog to be my “lifestream” of sorts with small posts (tweets, links, quotes, images, reblogs, etc.), while the blog will be used for long-form thoughts on whatever I’m currently chewing on.
Now that the redesign is complete, I’m left with the harder task of posting something worth reading. Let’s see how I do.
