I can’t tell you how much has been going on lately, as it would take far too long to write, not to mention you probably don’t want to hear it. So I will give you an over all update on everything, kind of like the readers digest version. So buckle your saftey belts and hang on because here we go…
Magazine:
The magazine has undergone quite a transformation in the past few days, from subscriber supported to advertiser supported. This change came about as a result of many factors, the most important and deciding factor is TIME. The time necessary to write, edit, and publish all the articles as well as do the graphics, and layout was going to take far longer than I had expected. To avoid this affecting my family as I know it would. I have decided to offer the magazine free of charge. Allowing everyone to benefit not just those who pay. I am really excited about this, more so than before, because this will definately increase traffic to the site, thus allowing multitudes to benefit and making it far more appealing to advertisers. Posting the content on the site, will also help with the search engine ranking so it will benefit things all around. This transformation is still not 100% complete, but nearly there, all that is left is a facelift to the site, I have built a custom design which is far more simple, professional, and it lends itself better to the new focus. Stay tuned for that…
Blog:
I was working on a custom design to replace this theme for Word Press, but I have a problem now. This theme has grown on me so much I have decided to keep it. I have made a few modifications and of course will continue to tweak it here and there to do what I want, but all in all I really like this theme. (The colors are actually the inspiration for the new magazine layout, so look for similarities). Also I have now added the new gallery to the menu on the right (called Photo Gallery). This is a really cool plugin for WP that uses the API from Flickr and styles it however you want. Head on over and take a look. After things calm down abit I will be looking to post more design related entries, maybe some resource links I have found and stuff like that. Let me know what you think about that.
Work (sales, web, and everything else):
This could take the largest amount of space, but for the sake of everyone, I will simply put one word to describe it: BUSY. Enough said.
Lets see, what else… well I think that is it for now (as if it were not enough already).
Till then… (if you haven’t noticed by now this is my new catch phrase and closing words, thanks to Grant for the idea!)
