The problem was that customising it with a child-theme ended up being counter-productive as I tried to undo functionality and create a patchwork of styles and functions to make it suit my needs. It is a beautiful theme with loads of options. I was tempted to use a pre-built theme by Anders Norén called Baskerville. It has been fascinating to learn about new hooks and methods for customising themes. I used this opportunity to refresh my knowledge and upgrade my skill set. Thus with a new focus comes a new site! Traditionally Warner steered clear of WordPress sites, so my theme development skills were admittedly rusty. With my new role being more strategic and less production-focused, I decided it was time to dedicate the time I would normally have spent updating the blog on redeveloping it instead.Ī lot of my current work is less tangible and harder to showcase (either confidential or project management), so work updates will be reduced but I’d like to spend more of my time creating posts about my photography and general blogging. I did very well at keeping the blog updated with posts about my work in the UK section of Warner Bros Records, but the general design and functionality of the site was really showing its age. That has been the great tragedy of .za for the past few years. That’s partly a case of focussing on paid work and partly wanting to do so much on your own site that it becomes an unmanageable project. The great irony of the web is that developers and designers usually put their best work into sites belonging to other people.
