Between bronchitis and throwing out my back I haven’t been that active lately except to do the things I have to do (work and school). http://www.dejesusdriveways.com is one of the new sites I’ve done recently, and the first with a new partner, http://ahansendesign.com. He’s doing awesome work for sure What else is new, I bought a new web host, Slicehost, which is on a cloud and you program the server from scratch (I choose Ubuntu Intrepid), got pretty far, almost finished! I’m sick of Host Department and even Ix Web Hosting. Ix Web Hosting (this site is hosted by them now) is great, don’t get me wrong, but Wordpress is a bit slow on this sometimes. I’ll stick with Ix for static sites.

I’d also like to give a shoutout to Artisteer for there really powerful and easy to use design generator for Wordpress and HTML. I have 1000’s (literally) of sites that just need a simple ‘face’, but I don’t have time to custom make 1000 Wordpress layouts. With this tool I’m done in 5 minutes and it looks great. Also a shout out to CSS-Tricks for the FAQ jQuery tutorial they have that I used on the DeJesus Driveways FAQ page. I have a few more shout outs I’ll save for next post that I would like to spread the word about. I use so many great products and services everyday and a lot are really worth the mention!
