    One of my most important projects is eNews Park Forest, a news site for the Park Forest, IL, area. I use PHPList to send announcements of new issues and breaking stories. Today I simply want to showcase the email sign-up page, located here, which is the newly styled sign-up page for the site. One can…

    Yes, I’m on Facebook.  And you should be there too.  It’s an odd place, but largely very friendly. In a way, it’s a bit regressive for the web.  Remember when AOL first started up, and AOL users couldn’t email anyone outside of AOL?  Many thought that was quaint, a very nice feature to have.  And…

    Wow.  It’s been a while since I wrote on the blog.  I’ve been very busy.  Picked up some new and exciting web clients, and I’m looking forward to blogging about them here soon.  Still finalizing arrangements, but I’ll be busy in the near future here. Ever thought of publishing your own book?  Now you can. …

    State Rep. Al Riley’s official campaign site, just launched this week, ready for the masses!  I’m very happy with the way this site has turned out.  It was a bit of a “rush” order, but it turned out very nice. Good luck on the campaign trail, Al!

    I made my first purchase from ProjectSeven.com: Pop Menu Magic.  I’m not disappointed with the purchase.  While I enjoy creating my own menus, like the simple CSS menu I employed at Kopycinski.net — a site very much still in development — Project Seven does have some very nice products. They’re a bit on the pricey…

    One of the nice things about WordPress blogs is the versatility.  Changing themes is a snap, and I rather like this one, called, Autumn Concept 1.0, created by Ed Merritt.  Photography by Peter Hellebrand. I always add my own code to the CSS of any theme, but this one already appears to be very well…

    Tall Grass Arts Association, an art gallery in downtown Park Forest, IL, is a very busy place. Now, Park Forest itself is an interesting town. By way of full disclosure, I do serve on the Park Forest Village Board, so I do have a bias in promoting my town. The village has struggled to bring…

    After perhaps a bit too much soul searching and agonizing, I am moving Shire Enterprises, Inc. from midPhase to BlueHost.com. I hear very good things about BlueHost. It’s taken a lot of my time so far, but I anticipate success in the long run. If you read this message, we are at the new site,…
