I’ve always thought it would be cool if there were a place out here where people could talk. So I created this BB Press powered Online Forum. Here’s to hoping that people actually use it!

Rosalind Wiseman’s new WordPress Site is live.

I helped Serendipity Creative to transform the old rosalindwiseman.com into a new WordPress driven CMS website. Serendipity Creative designed the new site. I managed the WordPress coding and contributed to the HTML/CSS markup.

Rosalind Wiseman is an author and expert on teens, parenting and bullying. The new website uses an interesting WordPress feature: it’s the child theme of a Professional Theme called Mimbo Pro. Some other cool features it has are liberal embedding of video, multiple blogs, photo galleries, gCal event listings, and a User Forum.

The project was fun because I learned a lot more about WordPress. I’m really getting into using it as a CMS.

New website, “Just Thinking of You” is up!

This was originally envisioned as an iPhone app, but it seems that interfacing an app with iCal might be more difficult than I had hoped (at least according to the infamous Marzagao).

The idea is simple: We love our girlfriends, boyfriends, spouses and mistresses, but let’s face it, we don’t show it nearly enough. You can subscribe to an iCal calendar that reminds you every month to do something nice for that special someone at Just Thinking of You (.net). The events have alarms and suggestions. Check the site for some examples.

I’m thinking about changing the design, but I wanted to get something up so I coded my first draft. Check it out and let me know what you think!
