Version five, like version four, runs on a WordPress platform, although this time around I was more ambitious with my implementation and site architecture.

First, I wanted to have a clear division of content. Rather than lumping everything together on one blog I separated content areas by section and styles, using a few custom WordPress themes. Once I had the framework up and running my goal was to make the content as dynamic and self-sustaining as possible.

In order to generate dynamically updating content I made use of the Flickr API and a few WordPress plugins, including Lighbox 2.0. Based on how I tag my images in Flickr they stream into this site in the appropriate areas. The portfolio and blog entries are easily managed, sorted and filtered through the WordPress admin tool.

Ultimately, I hope this site can act as a portfolio and a snap shot of my web-exploration with only minimal maintenance from here on out.

To-do items for the future:
+ Offer a “change-season” button, which would swap out the style sheets and display a different color theme site wide
+ Add search functionality

Feedback and or bug reports welcome!
