I've updated the himerus.com site to Drupal, and decided once again to make it a project I keep on the front burner for personal blogging purposes.

After tons of time with the slow Wordpress theme it was on, himerus.com is going to get a great upgrade to Drupal, and have a mild implementation of the Himpressive theme.

Himpressive was a theme that I started probably over a year ago, and when I was sooo close to being ready to convert it from my photoshop layout, the hard drive I had it on crashed, and it was lost forever. I spent some time immediately following to try to recreate it from memory, but got bored quickly, and it's been sitting for awhile.

This article is outdated, but still applies to the old version of himerus.com located at http://himerus.com/old/. Some of the thoughts here carry over to the new design, as it carries over a large amount of alpha-layer transparency.

When I first began this project to create my blog, I didn't have a real direction to know if there was any particular feature/design challenges that I was hoping to learn, or implement. It became clear after just a couple of hours in Photoshop that I had a layout that could potentially get some nice reviews... but the longer I played with the layout, the more transparent things became...
