I recently did a new web design for Alex Sutherland. It is completely run off of the new Wordpress 2.5 platform. Other then some minor IE fixes it is completely done, go and check it out - Alex Sutherland: Photojournalist and be sure to let me know what you think of it.

I have been working on the Tremor theme again FINALLY! I’m hoping to have it released this weekend, hopefully widgetized, I haven’t done a widgetized theme so it could be something super simple, which I am hoping for, or could take a few days. The theme willl beeee releasseeeed

Look for changes at QuakeMedia.com coming VERY soon. I’m really excited about it, so check back before May :).

I am still finishing up this theme and releasing it to the public hopefully by the first of April, but in the web design world nothing is for certain. I was just posting in order to share with everyone the wonderful tool known as reCAPTCHA. ReCAPTCHA is an API for web developers to protect them and their users from spam by requiring them to solve a text code, nearly all internet users use them on a daily basis. There is just one catch, you are helping the publish digitalized books online as well. For each puzzle solved you help correctly modify the way the text is inputted! Take the time to read the link and learn more about reCAPTCHA!

IE Netrender - A tool that shows you your website in various version of IE. Great for web designers designing on a Mac.

Browser Shots - The holy grail of cross browser compatibility. Renders your website in every browser imaginable! It takes awhile so you may have to sit there and extend it while if you decide to view the default selected browsers.

When programming a website or theme using strictly Cascading Style Sheets remembering what some of the key elements are can be tricky. Sitepoint, an excellent reference and forum for any web designer, has created a reference guide strictly for CSS. The guide includes examples of the use of each element within the tags. One of the best features is the compatibility chart showing which browser support each element. Its like having a Google for CSS tags. Check it out!

Ok.. this is just a test post to make sure my posts have all the proper formatting..

One look at a cluttered workspace, and you get a sense that the person working there is stressed, overwhelmed, and disorganized. Years ago I read about a study that concluded most managers will not promote a person with a messy workspace into a position of responsibility. It’s assumed that if you can’t organize your physical environment, you’re probably incompetent to a certain degree and can’t be trusted. And if layoffs happen, you can imagine who the most obvious targets are.

But even more critical is the effect a cluttered workspace has on your focus. It’s difficult to feel centered when you’re surrounded by unfinished tasks that constantly remind you of what you haven’t done yet. Ideally the only paper items on your desk should be directly related to the current task at hand. Store everything else in drawers, shelves, or cabinets. Many people notice a dramatic improvement to their productivity when they try this.
