Helped out Will Hornaday’s sister upgrade her site for Grace Media to wordpress, she wanted to be able to post “News” items to her site. Took her original site and built a theme based on her previous design.
Eagle Mineral Company needed a site built, and built quickly, I put this together overnight and they were happy with it. Sometimes short and simple is all you need.
Mel won a meet and greet with Xavier Rudd, really nice guy. I managed to shoot this with my phone while we were all standing around, and Mel posted it to Rudd’s wall and told him thanks. We were then contacted by a Rudd fan, Mark, in the UK who wanted a print, and so I was able to ship him one. Pretty much all the back story needed on that one, but I had a fun time with this being that I was able to sell a print to another fan, and since they really appreciated it, it made it even better.

We walked around the San Antonio Botanical Gardens, shot a few pictures of the place. Had a fun time feeding the wildlife.
My colleague Will Hornaday asked me to build his portfolio site that he designed. I built the site on wordpress, and used the viewport theme to achieve the sliding panels of the portfolio pages, then created a custom template for the blog pages. I used jquery to create the fade-in animation as the home page loads, and used this post to figure out how to get the random image to load.
I designed and built this wordpress site for Eagle Service Group. I worked with the client through two rounds of design revisions, then built the theme using thematic.
I used MMForm Community to handle the various forms on the site, it is a good form plugin, and it’s free, another option if you ever need to collect any data on your site.
I’m writing this as a simple reminder to all people who operate wordpress sites. If you want to run your own copy of wordpress on your own server, do not use godaddy as your server provider.
Now that I’ve had two clients have come back to me regarding performance issues, I must write this in hope to remind others as well as myself to choose a reliable hosting option, and also to offer this solution if you find yourself stuck with godaddy.
Godaddy has introduced a new hosting solution titled 4GH. And if you have your hosting from before sometime this year, chances are you aren’t using it. Now godaddy plans on moving it’s customers to this new platform, but you can do it yourself if they haven’t found time for you.
This should hopefully help your performance issues, and if it doesn’t, then it’s time to move to a new host.
Visited the Zilker Kite Festival over the weekend, shot a little video, hope Disney doesn’t pull it.
