Web Site Template

I've gotten a lot of really good feedback on my web site over at http://mloberg.com. I really like the design, but the idea was not my own. It is based off of flavors.me. I really liked the look, so I set up an account, but didn't find it all that useful as a replacement for my personal site. So I took the design idea and coded it by hand. To make all those cool animations I used jQuery, which is a JavaScript library. It allowed me to code all those sweet animations with really easy to understand code. Because of the simplicity, I was able to make the first version of the site in a couple hours. I also got all the major bugs out for IE7 and 8. I still have to do a little work with 6, but it shouldn't be that much.

I've gotten so much good feedback on it, I am going to make it a template and put it out there as Open Source, so it's free. So watch for that, if you want a pretty sweet looking web site. You will need to know the basics of xHTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but I will be adding a ton of comments to help you out.

I am also adding a couple of services to my site. One of those is Web design and hosting, another is photography, and another is VHS to DVD conversion. So if your interested in any of these, contact me or wait until I add that to my site.
