Deeper Water

I continue to work behind the scenes here to get DeeperWater.com to a place where I am really satisfied with the way things are working. For those of you familiar with Wordpress, you know that it is a pretty versatile tool. I am stretching it (and myself!) to the limit.

Honestly, I have two reasons. First, I want to be able to help my brother get his site up and running before he heads to India at the end of the week. We are still having issues over on his site, but I think I have them figured out. For those of you who are interested, go ahead and add Matt to your feed. I am excited about what he is going to be producing over there.

I am also doing all of this because I think that a new design might get me excited about writing on here again. I need the outlet, but I have been so swamped with grad school, writing for pleasure has been a luxury that I simply could not afford. I now realize I can’t afford not to write, so maybe the fresh coat of paint I am applying will help motivate me!

So, here is what I have working on here so far:

• The video section to the right works. One is displayed, but if you click on the bar beneath, you will see others as they are loaded.
• The archives page is now functioning.
• The feeds through feedburner are active.
• I am going with the two featured posts at the top of the page for now with other stuff (like Twitter updates) down below.

So, what more is lacking?

• A cool logo at the top. (Anyone want to make me a cool DeeperWater.com gif file with a transparent background?)
• A couple of banners that I will add to point in different directions.
• A reason for the two flickr feeds. (If I know the reason, I can get rid of one!)

Keep checking in!
