studionashvegas | design and social media

All my bags are packed, and I’m heading on the first vacation that I’ve been on since I started studionashvegas nearly a year and a half ago.  I’ll be working on projects from the beach, and from my inlaws house the second week, but I hope to get some great pictures (to start my photo category) and get things rolling on the blog a bit more.  The server crash put me behind, but now that I’m back I plan on getting this blog better than ever.

So, don’t think I’m completely out of the loop, but hey, working from the beach beats working nearly anywhere else

I’ve finished the new design for the site.  I’d love to get feedback for it – please, if you have a few minutes, leave me some ideas or what I could better!

UPDATE: I finished all of the comps – I have some special page templates for certain sections of the site – so I’m including all the comps here for a thorough review.

You may notice, “Hey, there aren’t any comment styles!” That’s because i’m going to be testing a new service, Echo, and i’m not sure what they’ll look like. There will be comments, don’t worry – just not sure what the styling will be exactly.

So please, critique away; coding begins in my spare time tomorrow and I hope to have this rolled out by the end of the week.

I had the pleasure of doing a great interview session with Cliff Ravenscraft of GSPN.TV a few days ago.  We talked a lot about WordPress, podcasting with WordPress, and the plugins I use to make sure my blogs/sites are running in tip-top shape.

You can listen to the show, as well as see the plugins with links, on the show page.
