I’ve been working on an ongoing project of mine, called Flourd, which is an upcoming file hosting and sharing website. Right now it’s in private development stages, but I’ve released a simple public URL shortening feature on the site that anyone is allowed to use. If you have any long website addresses, you can shrink them down to a managable size with Flourd.com. And in the near future, when public accounts can be registered, you’ll be able to keep track of your URLs and statistics within your profile.

Go check out Flourd.com now and and keep a lookout for the full launch!

As you may have noticed, I applied a new theme to the blog tonight. It’s got some new colors similar to my Twitter profile, a new header design, and some nifty Javascript I talked about yesterday, called Cufon. It’s kind of experimental at this point, so let me know if you run into any bugs with it.

Also, I setup a minimal design on Straw and Berry, where my portfolio used to be. It resembles a business card and is intended as a small info-base on who I am, what sites I operate, and how to get in touch with me. Also using Cufon.

Until next time –

Hey there everybody! Just today I uploaded all the compressed zip files for my WordPress Plugins and Themes that a lot of you have been looking for. I tried to fix all the broken links I could, because Mint was telling me that over 80% of you were coming to 404 pages from external sites.

Chocolate and Syrup are now hosted locally, as well as the plugins is_human(), Rounded Corners, and Redirect. Check out their individual posts below or in the Plugins and Themes categories.

Look forward to some new themes to be released in the next week or so, I’m planning on a couple portfolio-style themes this time and maybe even updates for Syrup and Chocolate.

After far too many months with the same old version of ProjectPress installed on my portfolio, Straw and Berry, I finally got the time to change it up a bit. One of my classes in school this year is Photography, and as an assignment we need to complete a portfolio of our work. So I got the creative juices flowing and decided a joint photography/web design portfolio would be a novel idea.

I programmed and designed a concept theme called Slidefolio, in which all WordPress posts with images are extracted and displayed in the form of a slideshow powered by jQuery. It’s neat and tidy, with a nifty PNG overlay resembling a frame around the images. I’m still working out some kinks in it, but I’ll probably release a public version of the theme on here in the next week or so.

Go check out my portfolio here and let me know what you think!

I just discovered a new means of writing web-based applications for touch screen phones like the iPhone, Palm Pre, and G1. jQTouch allows you to convert simple websites into touch-ready apps with barely any code at all. I’ve been working on implementing it into TutorialFeed, so keep your eyes open for an iPhone version very soon!
