Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag

Welcome to the new JCHutchins.net. After using the same WordPress theme for nearly three years, I decided to spruce up the place. Same content, new look.

There’s plenty of tweaks to make — that’s what happens when you move into a new home; you lose some stuff in transit — but I’m pretty happy with how things look. If you’re reading this post on my website, you’ll notice that the right sidebar has been stripped down to nigh-wordless simplicity, but still features lots of content to explore. (My new mantra: “Less talk. More action.”) There are also some easy ways to find posts, pages and the like.

On individual posts like this one, there’s plenty of ways to share my content, too. Just click those fancy icons on the left to share the love. And take a look-see: up in the navbar, there’s several ways to connect with me via other social sites.

And hey, since you’re here: If you like what I do, click that RSS logo to subscribe to my blog feed. You can read my stuff as soon as I post it.

Now that I’ve built the sucker, it’s time to give it a test drive. Let the tweaking begin!

–J.C.

    Very nice new digs. The iTunes and RRS icons are a tad imposing though…

      Intimidated by icons? Be brave! :D

      Nice -strong- call to action… Love the icons below it as well, you have a LOT of content to go through!

    I like it. It will take some getting used to. :)

    I like the new look Hutch. Nice and clean. Easy to find everything.

      Thankee sir! It took only a few hours to make it look so. Brilliant theme.

    Looks great JC! I like it a lot. Follows that KISS method us programmers love. Now, if you can only get a certain self proclaimed future dark overlord to do the same! ROFL!

      Thanks, Will! As far as asking certain prominent authors to redesign their sites — I only do that for money. I won’t risk dismemberment without getting cash money up front. ;)

    Spiffy and brighter than the old layout. Simpler, too. I like it.

    Now where’s the blood?

    Reeeaaaalllllyyy kidding about that last – red won’t go well with this theme.

    I love the site, and the t-shirt! Good job.

    WOW, love the new site look. Miss the old, but the new one is fantastic.

    Definitely brighter than the old one, but this one works, it’s got a great flow and I think it fits you more. The old site was more of a 7th Son site, not as much for your other work, but this one here definitely suits you.

    Great job.

      Thanks, Norman! And you totally nailed it — the last theme was all about pushing a 7th Son / technothriller vibe. :)

    Bitchin! I love the new look. Very clean and easy to navigate. Good work, Hutch.

    • J.C. Hutchins August 29, 2010 at 6:13 pm #

      Thanks, man! It was fun giving the place a new coat of paint. :)

    Looking good man. I much prefer simple yet well designed websites like this one to the noisy ones with too much to look at. I love reading your posts, and it’ll be nice doing so with this new classy look. Stay classy J.C. Hutchins! :)
