Welcome to the website of Yorick Peterse, a Dutch web developer and photographer. This website is both my personal blog and my photography portfolio. It may look simple, but I find that simplicity is the key to not only making a website look good, but also to make a website readable.
With my current template I tried to focus on making the website as easy to read as possible, without adding a lot of images. In fact, there are only 3 images in the entire design, with the exception of the images in my blog posts. Besides making a more simplistic website I also decided to fully remove the sidebar. Not only does it takes up a lot of space, I also found the idea behind it useless for my own blog. Removing the sidebar not only created more room for the main content, but it’s also something that in my opinion seperates my website from other blog websites because I broke “the standard” layout of a blog.
Internet Explorer 6
As you may have noticed while browsing this website using Internet Explorer 6, I dropped support for it. Not only is the browser itself 8 years old, it’s also one of the most horrible browsers ever to be invented and being used for so long. It has an endless list of security issues and rendering issues. Don’t even get me started about it’s performance.
If you are browsing this website using IE6 you will have most likely noticed the warning message that pops up, it’s my way of saying that the browser is shit. I strongly recommend you to upgrade to atleast Internet Explorer 7. Even though that browser isn’t that much better than Internet Explorer 6. If you really want to browse the internet in style I recommend you to install either Mozilla Firefox or Apple’s Safari.
