Finding Work

I get asked a lot on how I find work. To be honest, I don't so much as find work, but work finds me. You see I believe that the best way to get a lead is by producing quality products and projects that allow a customer to share their experience with others in the industry.

It's nice to get referrals, but in order to get referrals you need to have a lot of things in order.

What's in a Super Simple Post

As I shared yesterday, I wanted to create something that would allow me to post very short posts to my personal blog, but many more options that twitter. Twitter is great, but for this instance it just wouldn't fit the bill.

So I embarked on yet another journey down the path of creating something that I think will change the way I interact with my website ( I do this fairly often). Once I committed my thoughts to making this change, I had to think what a post really consisted of.

Super Simple Posting

By now we've all probably seen, read, or use Tumblr. The people that designed that app put a lot of great thought into the usability of their site and bringing design and functionality together. I like the quickness and ease of use, which is why I wanted my "Super Simple CMS" to model those same attributes.

Basically I wanted to start with the simple stuff. That's right I would like my own CMS to be as simple at Tumblr and Twitter. Actually what I want to do is make it easy enough where I could tell someone to post an entry in less than five steps. But in order to do that I need to start slow, and add features as they come along.

qTip Framework and styling

Often times I set out to build a certain piece of functionality only to find out that it's been created by someone much smarter than I. So like any good developer I use what's there and tweak it to fit my customer needs. This time I needed a nice way of displaying YouTube videos, and instead of embedding them I wanted a sexy popup on the site. It just added a bit of flair that you don't get with an embed and it also save some real estate.

It's OK I'm Alive

I've gotten a few emails lately asking if I'm still building websites. They answer to that is a resounding YES. Although I have to tell you, because of this sites I've been a bit busy. It's true, I've actually gotten some really good contacts from this site and I've engages with a number of them.
