One more thing….

Despite being uber-excited about the Vimeo account, I’m also working on a fully-functional personal page to accompany this blog in all its glory.

ADV304 already has me making one for a grade - which I need to stop sleazing with my group on, but I digress - and so I figured now is as good a time as ever to start the design/coding train back at full steam. Check the tentative design…

I know, I know, it’s a bit of a throwback to my MySpace days of design, what with the polaroids and the wood grain; but I like the noveau look of the water color brush strokes, and I like how 80’s and artistic it looks. I dunno, but I think this might be my best design yet. Yes, better than VoteStettler.

That thought alone scares the living Christ out of me.

Anyone use Technorati?

I’m still figuring out my blogging items, so here’s a test for my profile over at Technorati, which is a type of blog material aggregator, I suppose. Anyhow, let’s see if this works out for me…

Technorati Profile

Is it working?

It’s Legit

I know that nobody will read this, but I finally go the blog up and running and, for the most part, looking good. I copied about half of the style-sheet code from the kino theme that Wordpress provided (it was in Spanish) and tweaked it all to suit my needs. The graphics now coordinate, so does text and color.

One small issue that I have to look into fixing is the button for ‘contact’, which is overshadowed by a <div> header image right now, making most of the button un-clickable. You can still get to the page by lowering your mouse a little, but I would still consider this a pretty major flaw. More on that later.

Let the Blogging Begin….

Well, while I know this may seem a bit weird, I’ve decided to start up a blog of my life here in Austin and, more importantly, what’s going on with the films/art/design stuff I’m up to lately. I can’t imagine it would be a huge deal at the moment, but for now I think it’s safe to start this blog.

Anyhow, I suppose this is an okay place to end this sort of ‘test’ of a blog entry. I’m just now figuring out how to integrate Windows Writer with my ftp, so it may take some getting used to.
