Forest Child
http://www.forestchild.net – February 2010
This is a personal hobby blog project of mine, where I mainly post about crafty things I make and track my progress. I wanted to make a minimally designed blog with a handmade element in the form of pencil-and-pen drawings for the background and icons. I placed visual emphasis on the dates to make it seem like a traditional journal that normally has the date at the top of the page, not a post title. The actual post titles and tags are arranged in the sidebar to look like a time line of notes. This was my third or fourth implementation of Wordpress as a content management system. This was also the first time I used jQuery (for the menu animation) and some small CSS3 attributes. It even degrades as well as expected in IE.
