Welcome to the new website

The saying goes “the shoemaker’s children have no shoes” – and such was the case for me for the last 7 years or so. My website has long been overdue for a redesign. Now the long wait is over. I commissioned a logo for my business and designed this new site to present my work and capabilities. One important change I made with the refresh is that the site is now completely powered by WordPress (which seems appropriate since so much of my work these days involves creating and customizing WordPress themes and functionality). Now updating the site when I launch new websites will be significantly easier.

I’ve also included some of my recent delicious links in the sidebar on the homepage. This will give you some insight into the research and projects I’m currently working on as I use delicious bookmarks quite extensively and have amassed quite a collection.

I also plan on updating the site with announcements and updates about projects, and tips on using WordPress and other scripts. So stay tuned!
