New Site Layout

Category : Around The Office, Technology, Web Launches

I know this has been coming for so long, but my site can wait much longer than my client’s. So without further adu I am delighted to announce the redesign of Hattersworkshop.com is complete.

Let me know what you think of the White on Grey on Black.
The right aligned nav, the overall look. Etc.

The first comment Ill make myself:

the site still uses tables. What gives?
I know I was saying to myself that this site was going to be void of layout tables, but it just didn’t work out as nice. I design for FF, and then once I had it right Id go to IE and it would look like hell. Fix it for one and break the other. The happy middle? use a table and go to town with divs and id tags on cells. Problem (more or less) solved.

Finding Time to Blog

Category : Around The Office

It’s late already and I still have about 4 hours of work to do before I’m done tonight.

Finding time to blog might be a personal euphemism for procrastination – but Ill chalk this up to the fact that I just finished one site and before I go into the next I want to do something that I haven’t done in a while: write a blog for me.

Today I had the pleasure of having a photo shoot at Feng Bistro in Hartford CT. The Kobe Beef burger and the Hartford Roll are both excellent. Ill post pictures once I finish touching them up.

I’ve got two pretty big projects going on right now, among side projects and my own company site, keeping me busy. The company site, is last on the list so it’s once again getting negelected, but still not forgotten.

I’ll be posting links to all of these projects once they’re done, and with more time Ill be posting more as well. I want to start talking about an Open Office space in Hartford, see who else is doing this sort of thing. Applications being accepted. :)

Speaking of, Imsending my resume to a few Community Colleges in the area to teach some entry level design classes. We’ll see how that goes.

More on all this later.
Peace and . . .
