Playing Catch Up

I didn’t do any web work Friday or Saturday, so I’m trying to put in a triple session today. I came up with a new concept for cousin Terry’s site. The first one I came up with was full of pink flowers that formed a kind of transparent background for the text. It was just something that popped into my head, but I didn’t get any “Iloved it’s” back, so either it wasn’t what she was looking for, or she just hasn’t had time to think about it.

The new concept is kind of retro, newspaper style. I kind of like it, and may use it for myself it she doesn’t want it.

After dinner I hope to spend time studying Javascript and Inkscape. Inkscape really has a lot of potential – I think it would add a lot to my toolkit to be good at vector graphics – it has so many applications for logos, illustrations, decorative elements and more. There is so much to learn about the craft of web design.

Go ‘Bama!

Well, the sickening era of W is finally over, though it feels as if we’ve dug ourselves into such a deep hole that getting out will be very, very difficult. But not impossible. I am enough of an optimist to believe in that.

Anyway, for today’s effort I think I’ll make a cup of tea and study some Javascript. I feel like I ought work on  a new web page design, or do some biz development, but that seems too challenging. I’m feeling a little fried after a busy weekend and a day at the office. So a ‘scripting I go!

Cheers!

2 or 3 Things For A Fresh WordPress Install

I had previously tagged this useful looking article with some basic steps to take on a new WordPress install. So I did a couple of the easist/most obvious to get myself going here.

  • I added an RSS feed to the sidebar
  • I changed the default admin user
  • I set the permalink style
  • I got a WordPress api key and enabled akismet spam filtering

I did not change the default theme. Maybe I’ll do that next. Of course I’d really like to design my own, but it doesn’t seem to be a priority at this moment.
