My Sites

Nathan’s Page of Dark Cynicisms (March 1998 – summer 2000)

  • my first website ever, mainly self-mocking, funky javascripts
  • eventually too much serious material

Transfer Interrupted (summer 2000 – summer 2001)

  • boring, very little content

Serene Angst 1.0 (summer 2001 – summer 2002)

  • extremely simple design
  • combined funny and serious content

Serene Angst 2.0 (summer 2002 – January 2003?)

  • flashier, based in frames and embedded style sheets
  • first blog (The Daily Aliyah), powered by Blogger

Serene Angst 3.0 (February 2003? – summer 2003)

  • very few graphics
  • used a second blog (Notes), also powered by Blogger, as part of site
  • three column design with cascading style sheets (finally)

Faith in Nathan 1.0 (September 2003 – winter 2003)

  • switched to Movable Type, integrating old content as blog entries
  • more navigable, but ugly and poor design (still three column)
  • corrupted Berkeley database caused early demise

Faith in Nathan 2.0 (February 2004 – September 2005)

  • maintained three column design, but with more attractive style
  • Gallery-powered photo gallery

Faith in Nathan 3.0 (October 2005 – August 2007)

  • switched to WordPress CMS
  • kept three column idea and used very heavily modified version of Journalized-Blue to maintain basic styles and minimize changes in appearance
  • too much variety in content – tried too much to appeal to different audiences

Lines Writing Lines 1.0 (September 2007 – ???)

  • swinging back towards simplicity, minimizing and redirecting excess content
  • moving to Cutline design
  • built on a Mac using Firefox and not intended to be viewed in non-standards-compliant browsers

    • Lines Writing Lines 2.0 (??? – summer 2010)

  • Cutline felt a little tired, so I switched to the Atahualpa theme

Lines Writing Lines 3.0 (summer 2010 – present)

  • Thesis. I really think my site has never looked cleaner.
