My academic homepage

I’ve been working on my site for a long time now in small doses, and I’ve learned some good tricks with the help of this forum. I think I’m just about ready to announce it to my colleagues, modulo any comments you might have. Here we go:

I like it.

I think the brown sidebar boxes need some padding (say 2-5 pixels): the text is jammed right up against where the background colour changes, making it looked very cramped.

Yes, good call. That was an easy change, and I think it’s better now.

Very nice and easy to read, of no small importance for what you are using it for.

Stanch’s Leaf theme makes for a nice site, it’s the most popular Nucleus theme to date.

Agreed. I don’t know how much of it was Stanch’s code or Thame’s port, but I was able to modify it starting from scratch with Textpattern and CSS.

Re: My academic homepage

mike,

TXP and Nucleus share very similar templating systems. So I would tend to think that Thame’s port was very close to Stanch’s original design.

On a side note, do you drink a lot of Coors ;)

At Mines, we go to “Coors Lab,” which is a bar in the brewery where they give you free beer (usually for people finishing the tour). I’m not a frequent participant, but I know it’s popular with the computer science students. :-)
