Revamp of Blog Design 2024

  • I started blogging in 2015. It has evolved over time. With the start of a new section 影像随笔 (photo journal), the current blog design is no longer suitable. Therefore,  I have learned up on how to do a major blog revamp to cater for new requirements in October 2024. I also updated all the previous posts to ensure all fit into the new design. This major blog revamp has gone through trials and errors - a few revisions and versions. I'm finally happy with this latest version for now. The whole process is tedious and time-consuming, but greatly satisfying.
