I’ve migrated my old site, I Stand Enchanted, to this new domain, Engineer By Design. The change was mostly because I never felt that “I Stand Enchanted” truly conveyed the meaning of what I wanted my blog/portfolio to be. Instead, it was created in a failed effort from trying to come up with a domain name by combining a favorite song, I Stand, with a favorite movie, Enchanted.
The phrase “engineer By design” fitted my site’s purpose, while miraculously at the same time was a domain that wasn’t squatted. The name truly plays on the definition of “by”. I am engineer that, well, engineers in conformity with design (hence, “Engineer By Design”), yet at the same time I am an engineer accompanied with design experience (hence, “Engineer By Design”.)
There are still some small things that I need to fix here and there (i.e., a few more CSS modifications I’d like to implement) and coming up with a better design for my music page. I somehow feel it can be presented much more effectively and I probably also need to dig into what WordPress plugins I could use out there to make it turn out the way I want.
I am quite happy with the solution for a better way of presenting my little art gallery. I was linking to Coroflot previously since it seemed like an easy fix from WordPress’ built-in gallery. Now, I’m using prettyPhoto, which is essentially a clone of jQuery lightbox. I might add that it’s also very, very pretty.
I’m trying to finish this, among other things, between now and next Thursday once I start graduate school. Just one more week left!
