New HookedOnGolfBlog.com Site Design Optimized for Mobile, Tablet and Desktop

As you may have noticed, I’ve changed the design here at Hooked On Golf Blog. I’m not only a golf blogger, but I’m a web designer/programmer. I’ve been working on a new theme for use here which employs what’s called a “responsive” design. Responsive designs adapt to the screen sizes of the devices they’re being viewed on (see picture below).

The goal of this design is to make sure HOG looks great on desktop browsers of any size, all tablets and smartphones. If you look at HOG on any of your devices, the layout should automatically change to a viewer/device-friendly design.

Should…

I’ve flipped the switch and the new design is live but it is not without issues and bugs which need to be addressed. That process may take me a while! I’m open to suggestions, bug reports and constructive criticism. Let me know if you have issues or would like to see something changed.

I use the WordPress blogging software which is great. Yes, I could have simply downloaded someone else’s WordPress theme/design, but I like the challenge of building my own layout from scratch. That way I can eliminate stuff I don’t want, and I’ll never have issues if the template or functions of the site become obsolete or cease functioning.

The site format change applies to the blog section of the site so far. I have yet to address the Hooked On Golf Blog golf photo gallery, which is still the same as before. Once I’m satisfied with the blog layout, I’ll see if I can adapt the gallery section to the same design.

Today is/was day two of my testing of the Greg Norman ML75 golf polo. Yesterday I put my purple one though a long day at the office followed by a very hot and humid round of golf on a very hilly golf course, carrying the bag.

Today’s duty is a little lighter for my black ML75, mostly in the office but some hard work in the kitchen making Greek rice and watching some NFL football.

The shirt performs very well in the kitchen and even better watching football. I’ll do more evaluation this weekend at the nicest course in town. 🙂

Today’s Apparel Script

I’ve been a big OGIO fan for years. Love their design creativity and thoughtfulness when it comes to golf accessories, bags etc. Naturally I was intrigued when I found out they’ve started making apparel. For today’s shift at the office and this afternoon’s round I’m sporting an OGIO Roller polo and OGIO Groove golf shorts.

OGIO Groove Shorts

So far I’m really digging the OGIO Roller Polo. The shirt is 100% polyester, but is softer than any cotton shirt I’ve ever worn. The shorts are killer too. Very comfortable.

Stay tuned for a detailed review soon.
