OMG MySpace!?

Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!
OMFG

As many of you might know, I was a big hater of MySpace. This was because of all the emo, 12 going on 20 year olds that infest its system, as well as the horribly (HORRIBLY) done layouts. I mean, they break every rule in the “Book on Good Design,” that is- picture as background, a million animated GIFs, embedded music, super wide layout, no color scheme. It’s all wrong!

So, I was going to make it my undertaking to fix it up, and learn how to make it look awesome. However, Mike D. of Mike Industries beat me to the punch. Much thanks to Mike D. for the time he spent making it “web developer friendly,” if MySpace could be such a thing. What I hope to accomplish when I get some time (Lord knows when that will be…) is to make it real cool and add some of my own things to build on top of what Mike did.

What I like about MySpace, after you get through lines and lines of CSS to make it look nice, is the social networking aspect of it that Facebook has. I figure it’s a good way to put my name out there. We will see what comes of it. You can check it out Here. Let me know what you think. Later!

    Reading Update: The Expectant Father

    I finished reading the first of my 2 January Reading books on Friday: The Expectant Father. It’s a book that touts being the “ultimate guide for Dads-to-be” and as a Dad-to-be that knew very little about the role, I really appreciated how thorough it was. It takes the pregnancy month-by-month, telling you what’s going on with…

  • Your Pricing Should Communicate Your Value

    The WordPress space is cheap! But that shouldn’t let you keep your prices down.

    Is that a fair assessment? Maybe I’m being too harsh, but anecdotally it’s true. I suffer from not charging enough, in part due to being in the WordPress space too long. And I know other freelancers who have the same feelings. But that’s why I’m grateful that I have good mentors in my life. And pricing what you’re worth – that’s what we’re going to talk about today.

  1. Dana- Sorry about that! It’s a pretty old post and since I’ve started teaching, so I’ve been careful with my online presence. Send me a friend request and I’d be happy to add you so you can check it out.
