Behind the scenes of my technical experiments
Introduction Tech etc... is an editorial lab dedicated to technology and music. Recently, I spent time shaping its visual identity, moving from Blogger's default interface to a custom design. Here's a rundown of the technical work done so far.
What I worked on:
Mastering CSS & HTML: Rather than settling for a pre-installed theme, I dove into the source code (
theme.xml). The goal was to turn the standard interface into an immersive and coherent experience. I learned to manipulate CSS selectors, manage image overlays, and force transparency on the Contempo theme's containers to create a unique design.Digital identity exercises: Alongside the code, I worked on writing my bio, adapting my professional tone for LinkedIn while keeping the site's creative spirit. The challenge was reconciling two worlds that are often kept separate: the rigor of tech and the sensibility of music.
Project management (Ghosts of the Sixth): On top of the technical setup, I'm currently developing a writing project titled "Ghosts of the Sixth". This site serves as an experimentation ground for structuring my working methods and workflow, both technical and artistic.
Why share this? Because learning isn't just about completing an exercise successfully. It lies in the ability to modify, break, fix, and customize your own tools. It's this process of "digital craftsmanship" that I want to share here.
