Now that it’s over I wanted to write about how great Wordcamp Boston was. Check out #wcbos or #bestwordcampever if you need more proof. Or you can relive it on the live blog. I first found out about it a couple weeks before the tickets went on sale, and I immediately wanted to go. The next thing I heard was that tickets were sold out….bummer. I didn’t even know they went on sale and they were already gone. Luckily I happened to see they still needed volunteers, which I was willing to settle for even though I wouldn’t be able to see and do everything I wanted when I wanted, and I would have to do work. I just wanted to be apart of it, and I was one of those chosen to volunteer so I would be able to go after all
It’s time for another dose of design inspiration. I think it’s necessary for designers to look at others work often to help expanding the imagination of creativity. It opens you up to more ideas and things that you wouldn’t normally even think of or consider doing yourself. I think my favorite type graphic art is photo manipulation because it is one of the most creative forms of art I’ve ever seen, and it requires an extreme amount of skill to do effectively
This is a new project I am working on, and it’s about time too! I have been meaning to start making Wordpress custom themes and designs for a while now, and never had the time to with all the other things I have going on. I had a reason to do it this time, and was motivated to make it the best I could, but within some requirements
I finally finished getting my new custom jQuery featured post slider working as you can see in the header of the site. It took some trial and error but I eventually managed to figure out how to get it working. I ran into issues because I was first trying to use to get the posts, but then learned about WP_Query() and that solved all my problems.
If you are lucky enough to have 2 monitors to do your design or development work on, I am not, then you might possibly be interested in having a wallpaper that would fit nicely as the background. I got a request from one of Tweeaks awesome readers for me to post some dual screen wallpapers, and I promised her that it would be next on my list
I’ve not posted in a while because I have been working a lot on New2WP.com and all that great stuff we’ve been doing over there. I have also been learning more about jQuery, and reading up on that a lot.
Here you can learn how to better understand the commonly used jQuery method $(this) if you still have an unclear understanding of it like I did for a long time. I want to help others understand it better since I had a difficult time “getting” it
Everyone learns things differently. As a designer, and more visually oriented learner, I have a hard time learning how to do things like programming. It took me a long time, a loooong time to wrap my head around Php, and even still I find that to be a challenge. I would love to learn it better so I could be one of those Php gurus out there, but it’s just not gonna happen people
Since I finished making the Featured post slider at the top of the site, I feel like the links I’ve bookmarked have proved to be helpful since I actually accomplished something on my own involoving jQuery. Plus I have been meaning to make a list of the jQuery links and resources I’ve collected for a while now, so I am finally doing it! Plus these things are so good and cool that I can’t go on not sharing them
