I Miss Blogging

Its about dam time that I started blogging again. I have not written a post for months and now it is time to update everyone.

I have been very busy, and even though I have not been able to blog, I have been very involved with WordPress stuff.

What can you expect from me soon?

  • 3 Products going live all running on WordPress - more info to come soon
  • 1 Free WordPress theme - demo to go out on my next point
  • My personal site to seperate WordPress developments from my person life and visa versa
  • A few websites for friends all running on a WordPress backend (5+)

So as you can see, even though I have been quite, I have not been doing nothing!

Also I will be devoting an hour minimum a day to blogging on all my sites.

Freelance!

Yes I have started to freelance, be it on the side for now it is really time for me to move onto bigger and better things. Tonight I will be working on my first official freelance job which will be done by tomorrow.

This is a real tester for me but the advantage I have is that I have been in a small business for a while now so the work and array of things I have to do is now second nature. This has also made me rethink how I run my website, and similar to how Adii is doing I will be moving personal blogs to another domain and run my ‘lil web business’ from here.

Along with the change will be 2 new websites, I like the idea of this theme for my personal website but I need to juice it up a bit and then with the range of business I will be doing I need to have a more professional site on seagyndavis.com. So over the next few weeks I will have to new themes out and hopefully I can get to the point of releasing the theme on my personal site to the public.

Lets see how it goes.

WordPress going Social

The guys at Automattic have been working on a plugin for WordPress Mu; a derivative of WordPress that allows you to have multiple blogs controlled and maintained from one central point. This plugin has been dubbed BuddyPress.

From the name you can easily guess what it will do and what it will do is going to change the social arena for good. Many of the features that are being worked on are features that you will find on any of the major Social Networking site such as Facebook or MySpace and so on but obviously as the creator of WordPress, Matthew Mullenweg, seeming tries to do with every bit of code he is involved in is try and make it 100 times better.

“It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
I live by this now.

Next WordPress Adventure

Tags:

This weekend I will be aiming to complete my next WordPress project. It is for one of my websites (Touchies) that has been neglected for a while now. Once this is complete it will set me up for a few projects that are currently on hold (2 joint projects, 1 personal project and 1 team project). I am really excited for this weekend to get here even if it means that I will be working for all of it.

I have really taken well to the WordPress Model and already have future project ideas lined up ranging from design to plugins.

Please also thumbs for me because I might be starting on my first WordPress freelance job in the next week or two.

Will keep you updated.
