Shields.Net’s CSS theme just got a whole lot cooler, according to the site’s webmaster Patrick Shields.
Inspired by presidential websites such as BobBarr2008.com and BarackObama.com, Shields overhauled his site in a similar fashion.
“I loved how Bob Barr and Barack Obama’s websites looked,” Shields said. “Minimalism wasn’t cutting it for PShields.Net. We’re in the ratings race, now, and we need to attract viewers in whatever way possible–even if it means deluding decent content with flash images and animations.”
Though the theme was incomplete, Shields switched to it anyway.
“I felt like action was the best choice, in this case,” Shields said. “I’ll be continuing to work on the theme in the coming weeks, but since it’s mostly functional, I wanted to push it out to visitors.”
Shields concluded by mentioning his new ChipIn widget.
“My goal is to support my life through blogging and web development, and I really appreciate any help that comes my way,” Shields said. “I spend very frugally on a predetermined budget, so funds will not be wasted.”
