It’s quiet in here

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

I know I’ve been quiet for the past month and quite frankly (and as usual), it’s been busy times both on a personal/family level and work level.

I usually never do much in the summer because that sun is just way too inviting to stay indoors, but this year it’s been a pretty crappy summer… around here anyways. Well… enough about the weather and on to why and what’s going on.

First off, the blog will be changing a bit in the coming days, weeks, months? as I really think I’ll be going for a more “tumblelog” effect. Adii’s re-designed blog is really inspiring and I’ve been thinking about doing this for quite some time. Now to see it in action gives me the added “humph” to do it to mine. The design in itself will probably very similar as I’m quite liking these colors so it’s more a re-arrangement of the actual content that will be taking the heat.

Secondly, since launching my portfolio last month, I’ve had quite a few job inquiries so that’s really great. And I’ve had lots of great comments on it too! Bonus! I’m also planning on writing a bit on the design process for it as well. Things like why I went with WP, colors selection, etc… These are all things that I LOVE to hear about from other designers so hopefully others will enjoy what I have to say as well.

Third, over at The Web Squeeze, we’re working like crazy to get our newest project off the ground. We’re really shooting for a September 1st launch and that’s in 2 weeks!!! *gasp* We still have quite a lot to do but we have such a great team that I’m sure we’ll make it! *crosses fingers*

Lastly, with the above 2 points taking all of my time, I still haven’t finished that dreaded Part II tutorial. I know people are getting antsy… I am too and I totally understand. There’s really nothing more to say on the subject except that I hope you’ll all enjoy Part II.

So that’s it. Stay tuned!

A redesign in the works

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Yesterday I started working on a redesign for the blog. I was getting tired of the swirls and yellows. I’m not a yellow person really so I don’t know what prompted me to put them in the first place. So it’s back to the “darker” colors for now. Colors I’m more comfortable with … more at home with.

I’ll be cleaning up the categories too. As you can see, HTML, CSS are gone and they’ve been replaced with Design instead. Jeep will stay of course, but I might combine Jeep Write-Ups into Jeeps. I’m looking at only have 4 categories maybe and color coding them. Each category will have it’s colors and the posts will reflect that.

I’ll also be adding a lifestream. Since adii’s redesign, I’ve come to like that section very much. Since I twitter quite often and use delicious almost daily, I think it’s a vital part of me “blogging”. And I’m hoping to add The Web Squeeze in there too.

More to come!
