First Apple Disappointment

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Tonight I have had my first Apple disappointment ever. I’ve been trying to create a ringtone for my iPhone using the ringtone generator in the new iTunes. I have been through all the help tutorials I can find online, but no matter what I can’t get it to make a ringtone. Earlier today I thought [...]

Building a Site for the iPhone

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

With all the craze and hype surrounding the new iPhone we’ve decided to undertake the seemingly daunting task of re-creating a Dogbark.com that works on the iPhone. I just picked up my iPhone this past Sunday, and though I love it, I have to say that re-creating a website for it can be quite a [...]

CSS and Internet Explorer

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Lately I’ve been reading a lot about the nuances of Internet Explorer and how it renders CSS. I’ve been using Internet Explorer through an x11 plugin on my mac to view the world in the eyes of Explorer. Since I’ve pretty much always been a mac guy I’ve never really taken that opportunity before. If [...]

I came across this article this morning while reading all of my website building blogs. It’s a short checklist of things that you can do to improve the visibility of your website.

This year I had the opportunity to play drums with 33Miles for the 2008 Dove Awards ceremony. It was my first nationally televised event. I had a great time. I was only on for about 40 seconds, so watch close, the first drummer playing the black drum kit is yours truly.

Mailer Delivery System Spam

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

If you are anything like the rest of us you feel like somebody has hijacked your email account, or somehow broken into your computer and started sending spam to the whole word. You look in your inbox and you have 100 “mailer deliver system” errors or the dreaded “Mailer-Daemon” messages. If this sounds anything like [...]

Commenting your CSS Code

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Today I went back through the CSS code for our homepage at Dogbark.com and I realized how messy everything was. When I was working on that project I thought to myself, “I’ll remember why I did this when I come back to it.” Well 10 sites and 2 months later I had no clue why [...]
