Cemented Pitch, Blackberry Theme
Oct 9th
Just last week, my two new themes for Blackberry were published on App World. They are Cemented Pitch for Facebook, and Cemented Pitch for Twitter. These themes were created because I wanted to have Facebook integrated into my home screen of my Blackberry 9800 Torch, because the regular notifications sucked ass. With Cemented Pitch, you have your latest 4 notifications on the home screen, underneath your 6 most important icons.
I created Cemented Pitch for Twitter for those of you that are addicted to Twitter as much as I am Facebook. I also use Twitter, but not daily like I use Facebook. More >
My New Blog Design. Want to Help?
Dec 15th
I wanted to give everyone a teaser, or sneak peek at my new blog design that is coming soon. I also wanted to see if I can find a good coder that wants to benefit from helping me out. I do not have the time to code my new design. I spend a lot of time working on my clients web design, seo, and copy-writing projects as well as consulting which has been increasing with celebrities lately. Because of this, I am seeking out a kick-ass coder who can take my PSD and transform it into a beautifully coded theme.

My Crazy Lotto Experiment
Dec 14th
Ok, now people are really going to think I’m nuts, but I really wanted to try something new and strange. That’s why I created a new blog on blogger (yeah I know it’s not self-hosted) and utilize the blog to provide free graphics and graphical templates for my readers.
The idea is to get readers to donate anything ($1, $500, $1,000, etc) and their entire donation will be applied to the next Mega Millions or Powerball game on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
It doesn’t matter how much you donate. It will ALL be applied to the next game

My WordPress Design Services
Jul 1st
I wanted to take a moment to draw attention to my services pages. Particularly the PSD Layout Design services. My reason for this is that I love graphic design. It is just really fun to me to create a cool layout that someone will use to make a successful blog or cms with. This is why I dropped the price on it temporarily from $250 to $50 for a PSD Layout.
See to the left my handy-work, and you will see that I like to pay attention to detail. I find that graphic design fills my non-blogging time with happiness.

Why Your Gravatar Just Doesn’t Cut It
May 27th
Gravatars are great marketing tools. If you have one of your own, you can brand your image on other people’s blogs. How? Well, gravatars are meant to be your picture which go next to every comment you make on other blogs. It’s kind of like a logo. You know what Nike’s gravatar would look like if they had one right? It’s all about branding your image so that everyone knows who you are just by looking at your gravatar.
If a gravatar is not used properly, did you know that it is unlikely to be worth more than every other insignificant More >
“Dropped by to Say Hi” Marketing and Other Cool Tricks
May 26th
Non-obtrusive marketing is the best kind because it allows you to get your brand in front of people who use social networks. The cool thing is that it doesn’t turn them off because of the way you do it. A prime example would be MySpace. I often use MySpace and I like to comment on other profiles. But who says that my comments have to be bland?
See to the left this graphic that I designed today for my social network marketing efforts. This was designed so that I can actually stop by a MySpace profile and say hi to the More >
Free WordPress Themes | Coming Soon…
May 16th
As a web designer, I find it fun to create unique designs. As a marketer, I feel like I have been leaving a traffic source on the table. If I were to design a WordPress theme, and make it available for free on the WordPress.org website, I will generate a huge amount of traffic. Not to mention, the traffic I will get from having my “designed by” link in the footer of the template on every domain that uses the theme.
I am in the midst of designing a professional “dark” theme for wordpress. Depending on my schedule, I can have More >

For some reason, it came to me to design banners for some of my regulars. I went through 15 pages of the most recent comments, and came up with 22 banners to design. These are for my dedicated regulars that have commented here recently (remember I went through 15 whole pages of comments), and chose the ones who have either been here for a long time and returned, or those who are new to this blog but have spent a lot of time here.
If you do not have a banner below, don’t be upset. I reward my regulars in various More >
