Your new look sennir site written 3 years ago
After a million years of development, the new look sennir site has gone live! It’s been a hard slog involving blood sweat and tears, but I’ve finally settled on something that doesn’t look like ass, and implemented it. I can’t promise it’s all working, but hopefully I’ll iron out all the bugs and it’ll be just as reliable as the old site!
This build is another evolution of the old site, carrying all its baggage along with it, but hopefully fixing a few bugs in the process:
- Gravatars now work for comments
- SQL is a lot more streamlined & quicker
- Articles now have names, instead of just IDs
- Hopefully a little more accessibility friendly
Some things to notice:
Half the functionality gone! Yes, photos and other random nicknacks have disappeared from the site. Will they return? who knows.
No Adverts! I may reinstate these, if it turns out I can’t live without the extra $1.45 a month.
Big wide pages, so I can do silly things like including big ol’ pictures, and other crazy layout stuff that I’ve been wanting to do for ages.
Custom stylesheets per page, so I can implement all those crazy layout ideas.
Things to look at
You should take a look at the design process, and possibly the new about page. I’ve also explained how my brain works too.

saysHey hey new look Sennir site it here. It’s only been a life-time in the coming! It is a simple site but it may be a little too simple for my tastes. But woo, it’s good to see something different :o)
Are the new pictures of you on the About Rob there in the hope that you’ll stir something up in the ladies? Get them all sending in fan mail, that kind of thing?

says… and yes, the site is rather simple at the minute, but I just wanted to get something (anything!) released to the world, so I could work on incremental improvements. It just seems easier that way.
