Again? Are you serious…

May 26, 2008

Welcome to v14 of Designkai.com!

To anyone who is a regular here, they will most likely be confused as v13 was only released a very short time ago and was only up for maybe… a fortnight or so. This was because the database was having apparently irreparable issues with content and comments so I decided I would take it down and re-content it from scratch. However, while it was down I began thinking (thats never a good thing). Anyone who has visited Designkai previous to this version will be aware that it also included a portfolio and blog for myself, and was essentially a website about myself and things I enjoyed talking about, which was more or less shit. In my mind, this was very unprofessional, so I decided to make a drastic change. For the first time, Designkai would no longer serve as a portfolio for me. Ever again. I decided I would split my portfolio into a separate website which is completely stand-alone as just a portfolio. This should be running soon.

However, during this drastic overhaul I figured it would be worthy to re-build the way Designkai handles and presents content. The new Designkai, as of now, will serve as more of a resource/article website for designers or people who like to read the ranting of a madman often bored. But don’t get my wrong, I don’t intend to keep it as just me writing, hint hint. So what will be the benefits of the new Designkai? Lets have a look shall we;

Oh, and there is ad’s for the first time on Designkai. These things happen, running a website does indeed cost money and it would be nice to have some funding to help with that without causing an inconvenience to the users by requesting any form of payment from them.
So what should you expect overall from the new Designkai? Content worth reading. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Designkai will ever see an end to the verbal, highly metaphorical feces, because lets face it, it can be amusing, however there will be a lot less because Designkai.com is now catered for the the reader, rather then its admins.

“I don’t intend to keep it as just me writing, hint hint.”
Is this directed at me? Or are you planning something I don’t know about? Or something I do know about and have forgotten? Or something I don’t know about and have forgotten? =O

“they will now have a point” - yeah right
“they will now make a point” - are you dreaming?
“and they will now hopefully fill a small void of information” - the void part is right
“as well as provide and informative and hopefully useful view on the world” - see above

I think I’ve made my point =D

No it is not directed at you. And no you do not know what I’m talking about.

As for void, I don’t mean void in my posts, I mean in general :P

Wow, version 14… That’s a lot. Nice to see it back up, and good luck with the new portfolio.

Haha, yea it is a good amount. But keep in mind that it is a running count since about mid-late 2004 I do believe. I have owned this domain since January of 2005.
