Filming at Vulture’s Knob

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Some of you may or may not know that I am currently working on getting an internet television station off the ground. I will be filming one of the very first shows this Sunday during a mountain bike race at Vulture’s Knob in Wooster Ohio. Vulture’s Knob is one of the most technically challenging ten miles of sweet, sweet single track in the area. This weekend’s race will be the largest of the year there, and if you are into the mtb thing, I would suggest you stop by and check it out. The main race is at 1pm and you can get more information you can check out the Ohio Mountain Bike Championship Series Site. If you do happen to show up and you see me, say hello!

Now if you don’t know about my new project, let me give you a teaser: There is going to be a variety of shows in both video and audio formats. We currently have about 5 planned to begin in the very near future, with one of them being primarily about mountain biking. I can’t give any more information away just yet, but keep checking for updates, I plan to have a post about this project ready soon!

Design Coding

I stumbled upon a link to this in one of my flickr groups. I had to share, even though it is probably only cool if you design for the web.

Updated the blog

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Well, it took me all weekend to figure out, but I was finally able to style my blog like the rest of my site. There are still a few bugs to work out, so please be patient (I think the only ugly spot is the comments). Next update to the blog will be to upgrade to Wordpress 2.5 and add some photos over in the sidebar.

Now that I have figured this out, I plan to create some free themes for anyone who wants them. Keep your eye out here in the near future for some fresh free themes.

Also coming in the near future is the re-introduction of Broken Spoke Studios, but that is another post…

Blog Posts on the Front Page

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Good Afternoon,

Just made another enhancement to my site. I now have blog posts on my home page. Currently I am just posting the top three, and unfortonately, they are missing permalinks, or more importantly, links to the comments section. I will be getting the comments and permalinks working as soon as I can. For now, if you would like to comment, you will have to go to my blog to do so.

I would also like to mention that being fairly new to writing PHP, I was having a tough time getting this to work. If it weren’t for a guy named Jamis, this probably would have taken a lot longer. If you are interested in how to do this on your own site, or would like to view some other coding goodness, check out his site!

My website is now version 2.0

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

It has been a long time coming, but I am happy to announce that my site has finally been redesigned! At the moment, just the main portion of my site is done. The blog will be up next for taking on the same design.

Of course, with any new design, there are plenty of bugs to be worked out. I didn’t do as much testing as I should have, simply because I was excited to get the old design out of sight. The previous version wasn’t really wasn’t much of a design. I put up the information quickly with every intention to put together a nicely designed site. Unfortunately, other projects started popping up, and before I knew it, a year had gone by with nothing done to the site.

The new site isn’t complete yet either. I have quite a few new features and tweaks planned for the near future, so expect to see changes happening almost daily. With the new design, I also plan to start adding regular posts to the blog. These will range from tech tips to rants.

I am curious what everyone has to say about the new look. Send any comments, good, bad or ugly, to my email, or in the comments below.

In my next post, I should have a good rant about Internet Explorer poisoning the internet!
