Updating the jQuery Slideshow on my home page so it’ll look a little empty for a few days while I finalize the images. Before I was using images from my portfolio which is kind of redundant.
Migrating to New Servers
The past week I have been evaluating Media Temple’s (ve) server and have been nothing but impressed. So the first stage of migration is now complete which involves utilizing one (ve) server as a dedicated MySQL database server. All the websites I currently host have now been migrated.
The second stage I will purchase an additional (ve) server for hosting the actual websites. I will also be migrating all customers to Google Apps Gmail to keep system processes on these new server as minimal as possible; meaning faster website response to visitors.
Also, both stages will be transparent to end users.
Working for Sofent
Talking to my prior boss awhile ago he offered me a job for his company doing project management for customers based in the US. His company provides website design, web applications, iPhone and iPad applications, etc. So that is why things have slowed down on my site these days but going to pick up where I left off and finish updating it soon.
New Web Site Theme Live
I finally got around to getting the new website theme online but have more work to do to finalize it. Unfortunatelyl it’s getting rather late here (just hit 1AM) and I’m tired so the rest of the change over will have to wait until tomorrow.
New Website Theme Coming Along Nicely
Just a quick update that the new WordPress Website Theme I am working on is coming along nicely and should have it live this weekend.
Working on a new Website Design for my Site
Just wanted to get a message out that I am working on getting a new WordPress theme for my website. Probably start moving over to it this weekend and a lot of posts, pictures, etc. will either be out of whack or missing until the move is completed.
Newspaper Business and Service Directory Ad
I decided to try out adding a classified ad in the Business and Service Directory of the local paper to see if what kind of work it would bring in. Seems to have worked a little, not as much as I would have liked, but at least covered the cost of the ad. The ad has only run for 5 days so I still have 23 days to go, hopefully I’ll get some more.
On a side note, I do plan on getting the HTML of that PSD Theme finished. Not sure when but probably in the next week or two.
Couple of Web Designs in Progress
I have a couple websites I’ve been working on that should hopefully go live here pretty soon. One is for the Central Coast Quarter Midget Association and the other for Lines and Designs, a Las Vegas based company which does vehicle wraps, vehicle graphics, painted pinstriping, etc.
Business Slowed Down a Little
Not much has been going on, company wise, lately. Which is unfortunate but I do have a advertising plan I’ll be putting into place next week which includes reduces fees plus donations to local charities. I’m hoping that’ll help to pick up some extra work. Please check back for more information on that next week.
I’ve not stopped sharpening up my web design skills though as I have been going through numerous tutorials to help extend my knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator along with broadening my web design and layout skills. I’m working towards creating some WordPress templates to sell on Theme Forest and hope to have some up there by the end of next week.
Assigning New IP Address
Assigning a new, exclusive, IP address to my site in order to install a SSL certificate to it. There might be some interruptions to the site because of this but hopefully not to much, or for to long.
