Personal Portfolio Website and Blog

Post by erobirds »

I've recently rebuilt my website at http://edwardrobirds.com, a portfolio site/blog showing some my work, art and photography with strong attention to it being responsive and simple, despite the great amount of content within the site.

I'm using CMSMS version 1.11.6 and core modules only. I've made use of the old "random_image_selective" tag by Aaron King/Robert Campbell on the large homepage image, the news module for the random quotes, and the following jQuery plugins:

jQuery Masonry - http://masonry.desandro.com
qTip Tooltip - http://craigsworks.com/projects/qtip/
Shadowbox - http://shadowbox-js.com
Superfish - Suckerfish on 'roids - http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/

Fabulous. Well done you!

One suggestion, make a max-width CSS rule so that folks like me who have wide screens don't get tennis neck reading from the start of one line of text to its end.

NIce

Check your page speed though as it could be improved easily enough.

Your images could be optimised much better I just did a quick test and saved more than 80% in the filesize.

For those that use a Mac I use ImageOptin which is a great little utility programme for reducing file size without loss of quality.

You're definitely right about the images, applejack. Thanks for the suggestion.
