Hey! Remember that post about the new site for The New School? Well that site is now nominated for a Webby! I am super pumped about that…just being nominated is a pretty big deal. As I mentioned in my previous post, tons of people worked super hard on this site (check them out). While I am hoping for the juried prize to come our way, there is also a People’s Choice award, so if you feel so inclined, please go vote for us. In other project news, I just launched designer Karol Miekina’s new portfolio site. Her design of the…
It has been way too long since my last update, but work has been busy and thus, this site has been less active. The site hasn’t been completely inactive, however. The Isotope/Wordpress post continues its popularity, and I have made sure to reply to all questions/comments and help as I can and I have updated the portfolio with a bunch of new stuff that has launched in recent months. The New School Front-end development (css, javascript, html) and responsive framework. Design by Alexandra Ståhlberg and Elizabeth Kuehnen. Brighter Lights Media Responsive website design and WordPress theme development Dead Presidents Lounge Responsive…
So it’s been months since I’ve updated because I have been so damn busy. Need to add a bunch of new crap to the portfolio and blog about a bunch of fun new projects I have been working on, but in the meantime, here is a quick post about how to style html lists without using images to get custom bullets. I am excited about this because it’s so simple, I am shocked I never thought to do it before. I also love pure CSS solutions. So you are making a list in your web page and want to use…
Anyone who has developed for wordpress will tell you – setting up auto publishing for Facebook and Twitter is not fun. Sure, there are plenty of plugins available to do this for you. Some are even pretty great – like Simple Facebook Connect, which puts in all the fun header code that makes Facebook happy, as well as a slew of other features. But there are still annoying issues with users losing authentication, forgetting to login to Facebook to connect to the app, posts simply not showing up because of video embeds, etc. Granted, a lot of this stems from Facebook’s…
What a stupid post title. But, despite my lack of creativity in branding this post, April has been productive. So here is a recap of some of the more interesting items that hit (or have been started) this past month. Some new Parsons projects went live, a fun responsive page build for Atlantic Records went up, and the new design for the Dead Presidents Lounge was approved. (Visit post page for screenshots of everything mentioned). Dead Presidents Lounge Website Design Deadpreztattoo.com is overdo for a facelift and with some pretty exciting PR for them on the horizon, we figured…
While I wouldn’t call myself a professional photographer by any stretch of the imagination, I do enjoy taking the odd shot and prefer to have the right gear for the job. So with some extra cash from some recent jobs, I picked up a Canon T3i, a 50 mm f/1.4 lens and for extra kicks a MoneyMaker camera harness from HoldFast. I couldn’t be happier with the lens and the camera. I was absolutely blown away with the first shots I took. So I decided to take the gear out for some test runs. I went out to the NY…
I was joking with a friend the other day about how, since I started working as a Web Producer for The New School, none of the more interesting work I have done has seen the light of day yet. Sure, there are all sorts of scripts and behind the scenes things I have done that are live, but you know what I mean. Well I can no longer say that! This past week, the new homepage for The New School for Public Engagement went live, and it includes a fun little module that highlights the various programs available within the school. I…
If you’ve taken a look at the portfolio section of this site, you’ll notice I am using the Isotope jQuery plugin created by David DeSandro. I’ve been using this for a new section of the Parsons website that should be going live soon and figured it would work great for my site. My main concern was not wanting to have to mess with the front end every time I want to update, so I started thinking how I could use WordPress to power Isotope. It turned out to be a lot easier than I had anticipated. I created a category…
