Still a Little Dusty...

So my site is finally shaping up and looking a bit snazzier in the darker corners. I’ve been fooling with this redesign in bits and pieces since July, so it’s a relief and a morale booster to finally have a solid, working, layout, and somewhat clean functionality.
A portfolio section is finally up and pieces will be added little by little every week or two, hopefully until it explodes.
Browsers
IE6 compatibility is a long way off, so consider IE7, if you must use a Microsoft browser. At present, I don’t have the patience for its intolerance toward web standards… Please consider Firefox or Opera or even Safari.
CMS
Also, Movable Type 4 has been giving me fits with its little peculiarities. Comments are open and working again, though the submission process is not as polished as I would like. And security…I’m waiting for the spambots to attack and for my inbox to fill up with moderation notices, if you catch my drift. Anyone with experience in getting MT4’s more robust comment authentication methods actually working, please drop a line or comment.
Future Plans
As time progresses, I hope to have the sidebars for each section a bit more individualized. I’m also working on getting a more stable way of presenting my posts from Twitter (tweets, for the uninitiated). Every time their site goes down, so does the crappy Javascript include that brings the tweets to my site. Some error messages and notifications still appear in the default Movable Type format, and when I have the chance to dissect those .cgi pages, that will also change to fit tff4.com better.
Thanks for your patience!
Yeah,
Cool aesthetic, nice contrast...
The wood texture looks alive.Definitely great!
Thank you for the kind words, shnalla! Sorry for the late reply, for some reason I wasn't notified of your comment.
