Should your small business have a blog?

By cookieofdoom | Published: January 6, 2010
As some of you know I do graphic and web design freelancing (which actually is why I have this blog). One thing I hear from a lot of clients and potential clients is that they’d like to have a blog. When pressed on the issue, however, they don’t always have clear reasons for wanting a blog. [...]

Another New Theme

By cookieofdoom | Published: December 28, 2009
Well, I decided I really didn’t like my last mockup, which was based off of my wireframe. I liked some elements from it, but really felt like it was too simplistic. The new element actually has a slightly reworked wireframe, and brand new typography (planning on using CSS3, you can see the default and the [...]

New New New Theme Mockup

By cookieofdoom | Published: October 26, 2009
I probably have an extra “new” up there. I’ve changed themes a few times, though, since I started this Blog. I figured I’d poke a little fun at myself. Anyway, the new theme is based off of the wireframe you’re currently looking at (well, you were when this post was made, anyway). It features some of [...]

Pardon the mess…

By cookieofdoom | Published: October 14, 2009
I’m lazy when it comes to my own website. I tend to work on other people’s sites, projects, and such a lot more. Whatever time is left over is occasionally spent working on this Blog. I’ve decided to kind of force myself to get to work around here. The website right now looks a lot like [...]

Easy Homemade Wordpress Themes

By cookieofdoom | Published: October 5, 2009
I use Drupal for a lot of websites because it’s extremely scalable (like on whattheblindsee). I also like to code my own themes/templates. When I use Drupal I like to use the Zen theme to make the theming process easier; it’s a great time-saver. So when I decided to create a Wordpress blog (mostly for it’s [...]

Regrouping

By cookieofdoom | Published: October 1, 2009
I guess it’s not really regrouping if there’s only one of me. Anyway, I’ve switched back to my old theme (from Carrington). This is because I got tired of looking at my homemade theme. If I get tired of looking at my own theme it must have been pretty bad. The color orange I chose [...]

No Visitors to Your Wordpress Blog?

By cookieofdoom | Published: August 14, 2009
About a month after I started this Blog (maybe less) my Wordpress stats stopped working. I was too stupid at the time to notice that I had just coded my own theme from scratch. I figured it was because of one of my plugins, and just ignored it… until today. I got tired of having [...]

Getting there…

By cookieofdoom | Published: June 18, 2009
Well, this is what I have coded so far. The comments part was a pain. I’ve still got a lot of CSS code to write. The menu hasn’t been added (gonna do transparent png’s with a text fallback for IE6), the search doesn’t work, the buttons on the right work, I still need to code [...]

First Draft of My New Theme

By cookieofdoom | Published: June 16, 2009
The theme I’m using as I write this is a wonderful Wordpress theme by Carrington. My plan is to design and code a brand new theme. This’ll be my first Wordpress theme, so it’s probably going to take a while. Here’s a preview of what I’ve done so far. Yeah, it’s a bit boring right now. [...]
