Redesign time

Redesigning my website in CSS has been a tedious project, but (I think) the worst of the transition is over.  After accidentally deleting my entire website/blog at one point, I managed to move all my posts to a separate subdomain.  I pay for domain mapping from WordPress.com, and I’m still trying to decide whether I want to map to my website or directly to my blog.

One of the more difficult decisions I made during the design process was dropping the teaser text that used to display along along with links to my clips.  Now, the page is just a collection of links.  There are things about this that I like – namely, how it looks on the page.  I don’t like that you don’t know where the link is going to take you (in this case, off the page, to the website of the news organization).  I’m still debating whether or not to hand code each story to appear on my site, as I did with my AP copy.  I’m also torn between having the links open in the same window, or popping up a new one.  Here’s hoping whoever’s browsing has their computer set to open each as a new tab!

Now I need to decide how I’m going to display all my audio clips without making it look like a long list of MP3 players.  Of course, this means I need to get all my audio off the KBIA computers first.  You think I would have done that already at some point during the last five semesters, but no, I haven’t.
