Aite, so now that the gallery has been migrated over to Gallery from CPG, (and also note that CPG has been completely removed) I can go about going into "detail" about this overhaul.
The only problem is... I'm not 100% sure about what exactly is going to be everything that I do to the site, though I'm sure about some of the changes that are going to take place:
1. A new layout
And this time I won't be asking for any help, because it'll be a more simple, less-graphical layout. (And I'm fairly confident in my HTML skills to create a good-looking layout.) I'm thinking a bit more similar to the updated v2 layout over at Symphonic heaven, to a degree. (I'm not really someone who likes to steal layouts but I need my inspiration from somewhere as well.) The only graphical portions of the site should be the banner and maybe a couple of icons here and there. Otherwise I'll be using my semi-leet HTML skills. (That and I need to teach myself some more advanced tricks and try out div layers as well. :P)
2. A new backend
...again. I currently have the site as it is today ported over to MODx, a CMS system that was based off of Etomite. My main reason for this decision was because MODx offers a lot more flexibility and would allow me to possibly add some extras in the future. Shawn has already offered is help, allowing me to dive into SH's many snippets as well. :P That being said, some of the features and little tidbits you might notice are available on both ends.
3. New content
One of the big things, and this is something I've been wanting to do for a while, are two things: Add more detailed content, and update the current content. Although the site has been running for four and a half years, the content hasn't changed all that often, and so this site looks like something that was designed professionally, but that's about it... I don't know exactly what I'm gonna here, and I'll probably launch v5 before I start on the content, as I can do it as an ongoing thing, but if I don't sit myself down and do it, I won't get around it, so I'd have to be able to dedicate some time to it.
That's what I'm planning for now, but more things might come along. I probably won't post about it so you'll just have to see when it's finished. :P
