Took away the Philadelphia and Totnes sections from the  painting menu tab.  I’ve moved the paintings over to the now renamed “ARTWORKS” section. I’m excited about the flexibility of the new archive system. I had tried a “smart navigation” plugin, but it wasn’t working correctly. It would be great if I could sort that out. It would allow for dynamically creating galleries and THEN being able to click the arrows to cycle through the paintings in that gallery.  Could be really cool.

Tomorrow, I hope to remove the Pittsburgh section and consolidate the menu above.

Let me know if you have any thoughts about the revamp. I’m a hack at this wordpress stuff, so I am excited to get this working well (2 years after I initially switched to a portfolio based approach to wordpress).

Hi there. I am getting closer and closer to understanding wordpress in the way that I knew was possible. I’ve figured out how to keep the paintings separate from the blog, and treat them more intelligently than a simple one page gallery. The “Paintings” option on the main menu will soon be replaced with the “Sandbox” menu item. I have to make sure to move the paintings over to the new system.

I’m excited about it! noelhefele.com is maturing… stay tuned. Or, subscribe to my new mailing list.
