RobWeychert.com V5

The fifth version of this site launched on October 19, 2011, after nearly three years of inactivity. A lot had happened in the web design world during those three years, and V5 was the site’s first foray into responsive design and web fonts. On the content side of things, it established a clean slate, omitting all traces of previous versions, including the CMS. All posts and other updates were edited by hand in HTML and uploaded via FTP. Somehow, it never had a homepage. After awhile, I noticed I was doing more writing elsewhere on the web than on my own site, so I began to republish those writings here, which set the stage for the archive concept central to V6.
