August 25, 2008 By Leave a Comment
I am working with Texas Watchdog to set up a magazine style site. I have to give some props to Gabfire Design for putting together a very easy to use Magazine Style WordPress Theme. It has been very easy to customize and turns out to be about the best free option available. In addition to [...]

August 13, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Non-profit organizations are in particular need of solid new media advice. Scarce resources, ironically, can lead both to chronic underspending and chronic overspending on new media.

Aesthetically, I wanted a very simple, yet elegant design that would allow the actor’s headshots to take the focus. I owe Brian Gardner some credit for this theme because the code is based on his Photopress design. This is my [...]
