After three years with the old one, this site has a new look. It disposes with tacky notched design elements, a hard-to-read font, passé drop shadows, and some creepy pictures of me:
and adds responsiveness via Bootstrap.
The new design is open source, so please fork it and steal anything you like if you’re setting up your site. Here are a few things you might want to borrow:
- Use Less to customize Bootstrap with your own colors, fonts, and such without ugly post-facto monkey-patching. Steal my Makefile, which encapsulates a workflow for building real CSS from Less.
- That Makefile also has a
make deploytarget that uploads the whole thing to the department’s servers. - Some template nonsense for highlighting the correct tab in a navigation bar.
