Kings of Leon tour announcement!
Kings of Leon, possibly my favourite band for 2008, has just announced their first headlining tour of Australia. The full tour announcement is over on I’m With The Band, go check it out.
All Launched Out
Yesterday I spent a very long day in front of Taco HTML Editor, in combination with Firebug and Transmit FTP, putting together the final coding touches to a new clients website. All up it was an 11 hour session, I’ve not seriously coded for that long in a single day before however as we were aiming to launch the site this morning it was a necessity.
So anyway, after a long day, and a very early start this morning, the re-development of SNOBs.com.au was completed.
The basic requirements for the SNOBs re-development was to convert the existing WordPress installation from a ‘hierarchal 3 column design’ to a ‘magazine’ style theme. If you’ve read / viewed this website anytime in the past 6 months you’d know I’m a bit of a fan of magazine style themes and have played with a number of them here.
Some of the other things that Carlee, SNOBS owner, wanted for the re-development were;
- a way to feature competitions and certain content entries
- the ability to put polls in articles
- the ability to sell off numerous advertising spaces, and automate the delivery of them
- an overall neater and cleaner ‘feel’ to the site
This morning when we launched SNOBS Carlee seemed pretty happy, or possibly delirious from lack of sleep (sorry about that…haha..). And so far the traffic stats and time on site stats are looking good as well.
There’s still a handful of features that will be going live over the next couple of weeks, some really cool and very ’social’ and others that will make some of the daily site maintenance and operation easier.
Anyway, here’s a quick screen capture of the site, or you can go directly to SNOBS.com.au and see it in action.
Raining
The last couple of days it’s been raining it’s butt off in Newcastle, seriously solid downpours. Yesterday afternoon I got trapped in my car for about 5 minutes because it was raining so hard and I really didn’t feel like getting drenched.
Anyway, busy day ahead. Got a couple of websites to finish off, both are in the final code clean-up stage and then I can get to testing them both. After that I think it’ll be client training time, then bill them both out and hopefully there won’t be too much support to do as I’ve made them as user friendly as possible.
