Site makeover (finally)
Dec 24th
I realised last night that I had been using the minimalist white theme I had on the site here now for over a year, so it was about time for a makeover and get get something a little bit more colourful and fresh on here.
So, one theme, lots of customisation and some photoshop later, here we are with the new look. One of the best things about this is that the main content column is a bit wider, so I’ll be able to put higher resolution images embedded in the post (though as usual images will still link to a lightbox higher resolution version.) I could go back through the older posts and re-do the sizes of the images, but that seems like a lot of effort when they are all zoomable with a click anyway. Besides, that would just eat into time I could be using to make another urbex post :P
I’m also going to look at changing the gallery on here, I’ve been using Gallery2 up until now which has just been a pain at times to keep up to date, so I’ll be going through and migrating that all to the new system as time allows.

New layout
Mar 19th
Originally I started this blog with the main content going to be urbex and various photography related stuff, so most posts would have pictures associated.
I realised that the previous design I had on here really didn’t work well with that as images had to be resized down to ridiculously small resolution to fit in with the theme. For this reason I have redone the layout of the site, and I’m working through old posts replacing the images with larger resolution versions of the same image, so if you look back through the archives please forgive any small images for now, but if you check back soon they will be better quality very shortly.
Comments and suggestions on the new site are more than welcome :)
Update: Got some other stuff I need to get on with, so I’ve only updated about half the images so far, rest will have to be done tomorrow if I get chance. Need more hours in the day!
