I have just received word that CSSGlance has posted my site as one of their gallery sites!

I am always just so happy that someone appreciates my work and thinks it worthy to stand up with so many other wonderful designers. My website for me is my oasis; i may leave it for several months on end but it is always a creative outlet for me that lets me expand my skill set whenever i want to get back to it.

I have a number of technical items that need to be addressed, and eventually i will get there, but it is summer and i have been very busy with work and play; so perhaps in the winter i will have more down time to really overhaul the site visually and technically.

Once again, many thanks to CSSGlance; and i appreciate all feedback good and bad; it only makes your work better!

For the last month i have been working on a website with a friend of mine for the company SSG Development & Construction. It has been a small project, but those are the kind i enjoy doing. With my full time work and other pursuits i like to take on freelance work to keep my mind working, but not to the point where i am stressed out.

Fortunately for SSG they only needed a small website presence, so potential investors and clients see the kind of work they doing, so it was more of a calling card site.

Of course it is done with CSS and XHTML. I still need to go back and fix a few things to get it compliant. This will be an ongoing project with them, so I will have yet another site that I maintain on a regular basis, which also works well with my schedule. Next up for work is designing a website for another development firm.

Well, I have finally made it! Yesterday i recieved the best news possible, CSSDrive has selected my site as one of it's featured sites! I consider it quite a honor to be listed alongside so many wonderful designers! I have worked hard to get my site to this point. And while it still needs alot of work- it is moving in a fine direction.

The CSSDrive group can be a tough one, but i look forward to all critiques. The way i look at, if someone takes the time to give me any feedback good or bad, then my work has somehow effected them, and that is never a bad thing! Many thanks to CSSDrive!

Last Thursday, the highly aniticipated Escher Group website finally went live! I have been working on it for almost a year now. It has not been a full time project for me at Escher, but none the less a long project! I owe many people thanks for their assitance with this, of course all Escher folks and then the good people at sitepoint.com, in particular Paul O' B who seems to always be online!

While this site is far from finished it was in good shape to go live. As we know, a site is never really finsished and ready to go live- so you just have to get it to a place where you feel comfortable with the results and ready for any all feedback.

I had hoped to record more of my day to day workings on each section of the site, as this was a complete learning process in css positioning. Now that the crunch is over, i look forward to going back and documenting just some of the highlights of the project.
