In Latin, Renovatio means a renewal or renovation. This is an apt term to describe what I am attempting to do here at J David macor.com. In many ways, this site has lost its focus. In part, because I have had a lot on my plate recently (including an internship and moving apartments, both of which are still on going), but also, I feel, because of the layout of the site. The previous design that I had did not focus on the actual content. I wanted a theme that featured all of the content I could deliver; to that end, I chose the Lounge 2 Theme by Devlounge. Welcome to J David Macor.com Version 5.1!

Content First

To me, this is the most exciting aspect of the design! I know it doesn’t seem like much, but I really like the way that I can feature or play down certain posts. To that end, there are both Noteworthy and Sidenote sections. Noteworthy will have my featured posts, the ones that you cannot miss! Sidenotes will be dedicated to both small personal tidbits or things like contests that I enter; that way, these Sidenotes won’t break the flow of the regular content.

New Features

Well, obviously the newest feature is the design itself, but that is not the only new bit around here! I have introduced a few new details to help you “consume” the site:

• Newsletter: You can now subscribe to a newsletter with the latest from J David Macor.com! The subscription form is on the Home Page, on the left.
• Advertising Page: Now I give you a concise overview of all of your advertising options on one page.
• Contact Page: It has taken me a long time, but I finally added a contact page!

Coming Soon

These I features that I plan on introducing in the coming months. This is very exciting stuff, people!

• Different feed options
• A forum for theme support
• Ajax effects

Well, that is all I have to say about this right now. I am very happy with how things have turned out so far. Why don’t you let me know what you think?
