Gabrielle Papillon micro-site launched!

Today we are honored to announce the launch of Gabrielle Papillon’s new micro-site.

Built in WordPress, we have set up a single page site that serves as a launching point for her already extensive social networking efforts. We will eventually build out a full-site treatment, but for now, please enjoy a visit to her site, and leave her a note to say hello!


Gabrielle Papillon is an up and coming singer/songwriter who hails from Montreal (just to pick one), whose:

“Influenced by guitar slinging troubadours such as Ani Difranco, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and Paul Simon, her music is often about a feeling. Her muse is the amalgamation of people in her life, or an imaginary scenario. Above all she loves the journey of a song”

Check out her video Turn Left (produced by Southern Souls)

New Country Rehab Launched

Another MomCan’tCook website, I helped Scoop set up this site for one of her clients, New Country Rehab, a music act based out of Canada.

Driven by WordPress again, the theme is very stripped down and simple, as we were looking for a vintage/rustic look while remaining as clean as we could leep it.

There are photos and music samples, but more will come, including videos.

Check them out, they are a great band.

Ro-mania!

I just checked my hits table and it seems my entire site was browsed by someone (or something) from Romania.

I wonder what kind of golden nuggets they’ll find from this particular data mining excursion?

Community-Info.ca Skinning

Recently I was asked by a friend to help skin up a website/app that he’s been building. It is called Community-Info.ca and I think it is a great idea.

Eric’s goal is to help rural and small urban communities get online with their own self-administered site, where they can post events, discussions, local crime tips, and even post photos.

Skinning the site was fun. He gave me access to his back end files and I went to town with CSS and some minor graphic design.

Check it out, he’s pretty proud of what he has so far, and I’m pretty impressed.

Autumnal Transitions

Autumn has started in the northern Hemisphere; the last Autumn of  the first decade of the first century of the 3rd millenium, so I decided to reskin the site somewhat.

The theme is still based Carrington-Blog, but I applied a good amount of custom CSS and graphics to spice things up a bit.

WordPress 3.0 is finally released

Holy cow, I just ran the update to WordPress 3.0 and even though I heard there was a big reskinning of the back end, i wasn’t prepared for it!

I am going to explore, I’ll report back with my findings when I’ve fully grokked it.

*update* I made the mistake of updating my Carrington theme as well and didn’t realize I must have edited some core files… so, plain jain Carrington it is until I can redesign the skin.

I was going to anyways..

crisis averted, carry on…
