Notes

I put a little one page portfolio site together for a few of my favourite photos the other week, please take a look when you have a few spare minutes. http://takenby.benjaminreid.me/ Behind the scenesThe photos are pulled in from one of my sets on Flickr called “Personal Favourites”, which I use to easily manage what appears on the site. It has some CSS3 niceties including transitions and fancy fonts as well. The site is really easy to theme in terms of colour. It uses one variable in LESS to set the main hex colour (the true colour of the name, “Benjamin Reid”), then all the other colours/shades are modified based of the original colour set in the variable. I was thinking about making the codebase open for tinkering on Github if there was any interest. So give me a shout if you want to know how it all works.
