Website Overhaul

I recently decided to overhaul my website and give it a completely different 
layout, in an attempt to make it more organized and reduce redundant pages. I 
did like how the previous design looked, but I realized that everything was 
quite scattered, and each page only had a few things on it.
For example, my contact page just had my email and twitter. My home page had 
nothing but a description. The only page that was regularly updated was my blog 
and themes pages. I knew I wanted to organize things better, but I didn't quite 
know how I wanted to do it. 

It wasn't until one day I came across Drew Devault's blog, and I liked the 
design and layout of it quite a bit. Minimalistic but informative, everything 
is consolidated onto one page, with the blog on the left and all info and links 
you need on the right. 
I shamelessly copied his layout and a lot of the underlying code, since he 
generously provides all code on his website under a libre MIT license! And I 
have made sure to do the same with my website too. 
Things might be a bit rough around the edges as I fix any problems that pop up 
with this new layout, but overall I think it's ready to put online for now!
With the most updated part of my website being my blog, it made sense to make 
that the main feature and purpose of my website, and then put my social media 
links on the side.
