As I look back over the last year and the growth of my design business and this site, I can point to one thing that made the most impact: participation in forums. I am not a big time forum participant. In fact, I’ve only regularly participated in two forums, but the contacts made there, and [...]
I spent a long time in a fairly high-pressure corporate environment, dealing with some high-profile clients doing database, analysis and production work that was complex and fraught with opportunities for mistakes. I made a lot of mistakes- especially in the first year or two as I was gaining experience. Are you familiar with the “ohnosecond”? [...]

So, when Sketchcast.com came on the scene just recently, I was ready to give it a try, and here is my first effort. I’m sorry about the vague hum [...]
So, you’ve got a web site and you need a good stats program. If your hosting plan doesn’t provide something like AWStats or Webalizer, or you just want to see some stats they don’t provide, you’ll likely look to one of the free services out there to analyze your traffic, but which one to choose?

SEO is a world of small detailed tweaks that add up to big differences in traffic, and although I am not a very detail oriented person, it’s something I’ve been trying to pay more attention to. Here are 5 tweaks that I have recently become aware of and am implementing that can make a big [...]
Phil Nash is a genius. His trick for making backgrounds transparent while still allowing the other items stacked on top in the div to keep their opacity put the icing on the cake in my first theme for WordPress. Here’s the code I originally had it in a class, and that didn’t work in Firefox. [...]
