New Design- Design

This is part 2 of a 5 part series starting here. This post is going to focus on the overall design of the site, and some of the decisions I made regarding it. The first thing some might notice is that this design is wider than my other ones. I decided in creating this new template to go with a…

New Design- Overview

Introduction I suppose if I had to give this version a number, I’d say it’s version 4.0. TheJoey.Net has seen 3 major redesigns and I had a “blog” when I first started web design. This design by far has seen the most innovation and customization on my part. On the About Page it says this site is my sandbox. That…

New Design Launch!

Announcing (finally), the new design of TheJoey.Net. You may have noticed over the last 2 days, this design was up more and more. I was putting the finishing touches on the design and wanted to see how it looked live, in the flesh. Over the next couple of weeks I will talk about all of the new stuff, including the…

Live Update

Well, it’s that time of the year (as trends show) for a new design. I will write more once the actual site is launched, but this one comes from a more mature, more experienced me, so hopefully this one will stick around for more than a year, and I can actually focus on content. This is just notice that I…

Announcements

Just a few general things: My brother is selling his guitar. If you are interested, drop me a line! It’s that time of the year: The Weblog Awards. Last year I found some pretty awesome ones and I hope this year I will too. (Also, getting nominated for best-kept secret would be cool too- polls close tomorrow at 10pm eastern…

New Server

TheJoey.Net has a new home! After a lot of debating (and pulling my hair out), I have decided it is time to move onto bigger and better things than my really bad ex-host, Jiffynet.Net. You may have noticed lately the frequent site outages, errors, etc. This was due to very poor hosting that has pretty much existed since I have…

Page Nav

Just a bit of site news: I finally added buttons at the bottom of the main page to navigate through older pages. Click to see older pages and to see newer pages. Later! UPDATE: My friend Dan (of What’s on my Bookshelf fame) was so gracious as to redesign the side bar and page navigation buttons to make them look…

TheJoey.net aStore

I am proud to announce the new aStore for TheJoey.Net! As an Amazon Associate, I have ref feral links that, when used to make a purchase, I get 4% of the sale. Recently Amazon launched the “aStore,” which allows associates to make a page with 9 featured products, their wish list and similar items. While I usually feature these amazon…

Half.Com Store

I love the summer for three reasons: No school, Free Time, and I get to unload the year’s books on Half.com. This is just an announcement that My Half.Com Store is officially open for business once again. I will be adding a link to the side soon, as well as fix up the Books page. So Browse around- see what…

FeedBurnt

I have officially switched my RSS Feed over to FeedBurner. I did it so I could combine my Blog, Flickr and Del.icio.us feeds into one. The new RSS Link is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/RevengeOfTheNerd. So there you have it. A new RSS Feed, with more RSS…ness…. Later!
