Aug 31st

Posted by James in evolutionary designs

Earlier today I finally came to the decision that I wanted to add a Digg submit button the post page of Evolutionary Designs. Originally I really didn’t like the buttons, but after the redesign of the button and the site’s new look, it grew on me. In the past I used Digg Digg for Digg submission but the plugin did not look very good with my site’s theme, and playing with code didn’t seem to help.

Rcently I tried to get Dig Dig To work on the site after the programmer updated and added a lot more features. But I did not like More >

When building a site or working on a graphic design  project, make sure your color pallet has the right colors in them. Use colors that complement each other.

For me, finding the correct colors for a project can be hard. I understand color theory but, when choosing those colors for a design, my mind goes blank. Generally I either pick a color or if I am presented an image or a logo and I need to use colors from the image, I will use a color generator to do this.

What is a color generator?

Anyone who knows me in real life or through cyperspace knows I love design. Design is a big part of my life.

Earlier today I was catching up on some reading over at Famous Blogger and I came across an article Hesham wrote about CommentLuv making new design changes to the plugin. The new changes include, bug fixes, updated badges, click tracking, and Dutch translation. Naturally, after reading up on the articles from Famous Bloggers and CommentLuv, I had to update Evolutionary Designs. In order to make the updates, I had to install the new plugin manually. The new plugin has not been updated when looking at the comluv plugin through the dashboard.

I have been building and designing websites on and off for several years. Last year, I decided to take this from hobby to a part-time freelance job.

After, working with Enternet Now! for a few months, I decided I needed to go back to school and learn more about design and development so I could start building logos and creating themes for our WordPress Clients.

Here are a few logos I created for Evolutionary Designs. Of course, I am not a More >

Stress can be difficult for anyone. Depending on what you do, how difficult, and the amount of hours you have to put can add to the stress levels. For me, stress its from almost every direction, about year ago, I decided it was time, to start working toward what I liked doing, so I went back to school and working toward a multimedia degree program in web design and motion production.

When I work with clients or talk about what I do and services we offer through Enternet Now! and Evolutionary Designs, I often get asked the question “what is SEO?” or “what is search Engine Optimization?” Once I explain, they ask “why would someone want that and pay for that service?” After answering so many times, I came to realize I never really talked about here and even on our Sales page at EnterNet Now! We never really go over what is and how it works. Today, I want to talk about the basics of SEO (Search Engine Optimization), the more More >
