It's Been Awhile

Well it has been awhile since my last post, mainly because something with my chryp installation on the site had been messed up along the way and I had not had any free time to work on fixing the problem. As far as I can tell whatever the problem was it has been fixed after the re-install.

So back to what I have been working on. PensNation is starting to take off there has been a redesigned layout since my last update on the subject. The new layout is more efficient and more easy to add and remove sections of any page. I have also completed some mock-up logos for the local bar Milestone.

These have been submitted to the owner and I am just waiting on a response and some feed back from him.

In Between Now And Then

Sorry for the prolonged absence I've been busy working on getting PensNation up and running and some elements took more time than anticipated. There is still some work to be done on the site but it is coming into form and should be completed or in what ill call user ready stages in the next week or two. The only issue I have a concern about to this point is load time on some pages. There are some pages that make so many different calls to the database and need to be slimmed down a little to stop a lag that may occur from page to page. I also added the feature to make comments to not only the blog posts but to the RSS feeds as well, not only does this give the user more use of the site but it also makes the site more search engine friendly by giving the possibility of more search results which in the end will result in more users to the site. 

About a month ago I involved myself in another project this one is for a local bar called Milestone. The project involves the creation of a logo for the bar and sometime down the road a website. But first things first is the logo and this is proving to be harder than I had originally thought it would be. So if everything goes as planned you will see my logo on the fron of the building in the near future.
