How the website is developing and site updates

cleaning ‘ouse 0

So I’m changing thinks up a bit… I turned off the twitter digests. Felt a little overkill. Put a new theme up. I need to be a little better on some quality posts… I was hoping to track down an iPhone tomorrow — I’m hoping that it won’t be too difficult.

google design 2

I hadn’t thought about it this way, but this is a good overview of the influence Google’s search algorithms have on web design.  After seeing this, you’ll start to see the sheer number of websites that follow the same model/design… and this can all be traced back to Google!  Such ugly, cluttered designs too. Another [...]

lets call it for what it is 0

Basically this is on hiatus until the middle of September (when we finally settle into our apartment on campus).  I have a bunch of posts queued up, but no time/energy to follow up with them on a regular basis.  I promise this will become lively again soon =) (hell, its only a few weeks anyway).

Testing out upgraded Gallery 0

So I took the plunge. Couldn’t help my self. Things look good so far. I’ll keep you posted.  I really like the keyword based galleries.  I’ll now have to update all the images.  The crappy part is that I’ve already categorized all my images in iMatch… I wish I could just export that. 2040 Update [...]
