• Blogging from the Desktop

  OK. I had no idea this was even an option so when I read #5 of Upstart Blogger’s, “Traffic boosting new year’s resolutions for bloggers” the other day, I had to research Ashley’s suggestions and decided to go with MarsEdit.
  It got a solid review at Macworld and so far, I’ve had great luck with it. [...]

• Expression Engine Experiment

  Not long ago I discovered Expression Engine and after visiting one particularly lovely site, everythingtori.com, I made a note to self: Learn EE.
  With some time off from classes and the discovery that Jambor-ee is building a website (welovefood.com) using EE in 24 days, I decided now would be an excellent opportunity to follow along.
  My installation [...]

• First Web Designs Using Dreamweaver CS3

  Sharing some of the results of my first term through PSU’s Web Design Certificate program seems long overdue and there really was only one class that produced anything remotely visual: Dreamweaver CS3 with Dave McFarland.

  All of the designs were homework assignments and honestly none were thoroughly checked for validation; however, all future designs will [...]

• Wordpress 2.3 Errors

  Well, nothing like a massive string of errors after upgrading to make a cloudy day feel more grey.
  When the error first revealed itself, my first thought was “I wish I had a help desk.” Then, my second thought: “If I called the help desk I probably would still be on hold or they would arrive [...]

• Designer’s Guiding Light

  I decided to take a bit of a breather from working on an annual report and thought I would tweak a few things at Cocoink while I had the chance.
  Because I’m still learning Wordpress and coding I decided to head back to Upstart Blogger to find out if the designer of Modicus (Robert Ellis) might [...]

• Photoblog is moving

  So much for Pixelpost. I’m disappointed, too because it seemed like a great piece of software for photoblogging.
  In the last few days, the photos were not showing up. Every upload, test, etc. didn’t work so I tried the support forum with no luck. Perhaps I’m too much of a newbie at the back end parts [...]

• Cococello Design Studio Site is Live

  Ta-da! My studio website is finally live. Whew. I bet my husband has been wondering what it would take to pry me away from the computer!
  I taught myself some CSS, XHTML (from a book) and used SlideShowPro for the gallery. There are a ton of things I would do differently if I had the time [...]

• PSU Multimedia Design Certification

  It’s official. I am registered for classes and will soon be on my way to becoming a certified flash geek or goddess. (hee) Perhaps both? It’s a goal.
  I went to an informational meeting last Thursday and after hearing Rob Reinhardt speak for an hour, I was definitely convinced this is the right path to take. [...]

• SlideShowPro + SlideShowPro Director

  As a newbie in all things web I’m sure my latest discovery, SlideShowPro & SlideShowPro Director is nothing new but for any photographer who is not aware of this great component for Flash, check it out!
  I’m about to purchase a license and hoping to get a gallery of my invitation designs online soon.
  Stay tuned.
