ShareContinuing along with my line of WordPress-themed books, I am currently working on adding a new title to my WordPress arsenal: WordPress Web Design For Dummies (published by Wiley Publishing: For Dummies division).
I would give a word of thanks and gratitude to Wiley Publishing, in particular my editor Amy Fandrei for their continued support, encouragement and faith in me as an author of their most popular series of books on the WordPress platform!

ShareI loved 2008…and I hated it.
Professionally, it was really a phenomenal year. E.Webscapes did 409 projects in 2008 – that’s more than a project a day. It’s almost exactly double what we did in 2007 – and the profit margins tripled. I also finished another book in 2008 and have another (different) one in the works for 2009 (more about that another day!) I would have to say that professionally speaking, 2008 was my…

As always, the challenge with writing this book is keeping up with the fast-paced development that surrounds the WordPress project. I have to say, it’s easier this time around than it…
ShareThe redesign of this site has been in the works forEVER! And when I say forever..I really mean about 6-8 months of putting it on the back burner until my schedule opened up enough for me to be able to sit down and really figure out what I wanted to do.

The short answer: in a designers hell.
The long answer: I spent my entire weekend developing FOUR different blogs for 2 different clients – each of these 4 blogs developed and designed in Movable Type 4.
And here I thought that old saying went like this: “bad things happen in threes” ??

ShareJust a quick note for anyone else who may run into this problem. I recently had someone contact me at E.Webscapes looking to hire me to troubleshoot and fix a problem they were having with the display of their custom theme on their site. I wasn’t the original designer of the theme, but the person who contacted me said that the original designer didn’t know how to fix the problem.
The problem? The site displayed…
