My First Blog Post is a Lie!

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

That’s right, my first post here is a total lie. I did not, “created this site as a place to collect ideas and information about the web, social media, design, technology, food, and other fun stuff“. I don’t even like to write that much, unless of course it’s in 140 characters or less. So why did I start this blog? I started this blog to play around with setting up custom WordPress sites and learn how to use the application. My hope was to take on some new clients who wanted a business or personal blog, set up the blog & teach them how to use it. My main client, that I’ve worked for over 10 years, had less & less work for me so I needed to find something else to do.

In February of 2009 my husband started working full time with EquestrianLife.com. Later that spring they brought me in as the Creative Director. It has been a great job and really fun. What we are working on now is a full site redesign and rebuild. A lot of new features will be adding during the coming year, plus we will continue our live event broadcasts along with some other exciting things.

So, I’m pretty busy these days and don’t have much time or motivation to keep up with this blog. I’m not saying I won’t post here every once in a while, but probably not too often.

Testing Stuff

Friday, March 13th, 2009

Howard, my husband, has been working on a site, equestrianlife.com, for a client for about a year now. He just built a new video feature with an embed function for the site. (He’s a good coder & does fancy stuff like that all the time.) I’m helping him test that feature here.

To quote Howard, “Please feel free to enjoy the “Jockey-ish Goodness” of the following video, courtesy of my spiffy Flash Video Player and equestrianlife.com!”
