The new theme of this portfolio site/blog, estancabigas.com

A screengrab of a single blog post

As I just added a portfolio subsite, Pagtu-o, for my personal project, I felt obligated to redesign this main site as some photo stories were transferred to the subsite. Because of technical difficulties when I made the previous design, there were some problem solutions that are no longer applicable to a full Wordpress installation, which will now be undertaken.

Previously, static html pages were used in the portfolio image series and I needed to edit several pages whenever I add new work. Now, those tedious changes are a thing of the past.

One crucial thing is the use of Slideshowpro via a self hosted Director to deliver the images. As this is a full Wordpress site, the slideshow is added using the Slidepress plugin. Just as I used it in Pagtu-o.

One main difference with the Pagtu-o site is that this installation uses Wordpress’ Pages instead of Posts for the photo stories as I have a regular blog.

Well, I will still assess if the redesign is something that I can live with in the next few months. A few tweaks here and there will be implemented in the coming days as well as complete the seven image series. More to come.
