Primary Site



Reactions 

I am spending considerable amount of available bandwidth in developing primary website. Yesterday, I created following header logo. Earlier plan was to have different header for different primary sections but as of now I am sticking to a global header.

Following is the complete layout idea for http://mohit.me

Above header
Below that button bar
Palette: white, black, gray
Font: courier or verdana

Site's landing page will have delicio.us, flickr and this blog's feed with some text.

Button bar will have following sections
Home, Creations, Blog, About, Contact

Home: Takes to the landing page
Creations: Software, presentations, papers, websites I have worked on. Most of the stuff from college but some good material. Will be adding open source and some hobby projects soon as they pick up.
Blog: Link to this blog. Earlier I was thinking of having a dedicated wordpress installation but chosen blogspot because I am familiar with it.
About: Some text about me
Contact: linked-in link, email

No visible footer.

I do not want to use a site-builder. Although that be a viable option as most of this site will be static. Also it will result in much more aesthetic design as compared to what I can create with my limited graphics editing capabilities. But I want to keep things very simple and concise.

Update: I just learned about FriendFeed. It is awesome. I think instead of me writing some widget to parse feeds from different services. I will simply display feed from FF on homepage.
