Re-Designing...

so here’s the deal.

May 26th, 2008

Yes, I traveled back in time for this intro post.

Back in the early Summer of 2008, I decided to jump-into a re-design, and while I was at it, I would write about the steps as I learned. I even did a podcast series too!

Life happened.

Being a freelance designer, I like freelance opportunities, and fortunately for me, there were many. I’ve also found that by blogging about what I’ve learned, it’s been somewhat limiting.

So anyhoo, I’m jumping-into the design once again, and I will be posting updates, but I’m just going to get the site launched, ya know?

The blog entries below are all set to display in chronological order, giving readers a better idea of the steps I took to get here. Each bold title has content; feel free reading and sharing your comments, and don’t forget the podcasts! One last thing: Click to view the progress on the new site.

See you on the other side!

hello world!
