Revamped Walldrobe Website
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009After months of extensive revamped, I can finally announce the new Walldrobe website up and running. Nothing awesome about it, just a proper site with better nagivations as compared to my old site. At last I can take a breather from all the scripting and stuff. It was actually a great learning for me when my designer shared all the problems one might encounter when testing the site in IE or Firefox or Safari. Thanks to Noel for accommodating my countless requests and changes.
There’s still a couple of bugs which Noel is trying to fix but generally, the site is good to go. If you come across any bugs or problems when serving my site, do notify me through email. I’ll try my best to fix it. One problem which I encounter is the slideshow which will go haywire once in a while. If that happens, do a refresh and the site is good to go again. Another problem is the page number at the gallery page right on top of the thumbnails. It just doesn’t change accordingly even when I’m viewing the pictures from the following page. Everything looks ok on a local site but once online, the problem occurs.
I have lots of questions about why the name Walldrobe which doesn’t seems to link to photography and I thought I’ll take this opportunity to share the reason behind this name. As I don’t wish to use my name like Shaun Tay Photography or SKTay Photography, I had a hard time coming out with a proper name. There was one night where I actually jump out of bed in the middle of the night staring at my wardrobe. I was staring at my clothes hanging nicely in the wardrobe and I though…why is it called the wardrobe in the first place? Then I thought we usually hang nice pictures on the wall and photography is all about pictures. Since the closet for clothes is called wardrobe, I though the wall for pictures can be called Walldrobe. And so, thats the whole idea behind Walldrobe.
There was also a long story behind why my site address is walldrobe.sg and not the more commonly known walldrobe.com but I think I can skip this. So, here’s my site www.walldrobe.sg
