Client website re-vamp: AdamRoberts.com

Adam Roberts is one of the brightest stars in the UK science fiction firmament. His novels, novellas and short stories are always ideas-driven, usually highly challenging and often misunderstood, but you can rely on them being packed to the rafters with intelligent writing: literary allusion, metaphorical and metaphysical extrapolation, and some truly stunning visions of alternate worlds, alternate futures, alternate realities.
Adam has been a client of mine for going on six years now and his website has been through three different incarnations in that time. The third version of www.adamroberts.com went live yesterday:
This time out it's a Wordpress site, and I've been exploring the options that WP offers to use it as a site-wide content management system rather than just as a single blog page. Hence the bibliography section is self-contained within the WP setup, which means that if Adam wants to tinker, he can do so to his heart's content and drive his own news section as a full blog.
Adam also runs three other blogs (Europrogocontestovision, punkadiddle and Rambling Ad Rumpo) and I'm working on persuading him to bring those three within the main blog as well - there's some great content on them, and having it all in one place would really strengthen the main site. Between you and me I reckon that once he's seen just how far superior Wordpress is to clunky old blogspot he'll be looking to at least move those over to WP sub-domains of their own, but I think that bringing them within the main site on a by-Category basis would work even better...
