I’m having a lot of fun right now with a website showcasing my sister Sandy and her husband Luke’s home. They are getting ready to sell it and move to Florida, so I’ve come up with a fun little site with pictures, home details, and contact information. They are not quite ready to open the floodgates yet, but here’s a fuzzy screenshot to pique your interest:
Shhh! Don’t tell anyone. The site will go live a little later this month. Stay tuned!

Current Projects
I’m working on a couple sites right now. One of them is www.simonflory.com. Simon is my brother-in-law’s brother and he is a singer/songwriter. This is a pretty standard WordPress blog right now, but I’m going to be doing a custom theme and some cool additions. Keep checking back to see the progress. Right now, here’s a screenshot of what it looks like:

The other site that I’m working on is for Second Street Antiques in Bloomington, IN. This website will be used for the Second Street Antiques online showcase, but it will also be available for antiques dealers and individuals to showcase their items for a small fee. Again, I just set up the site and I’m using the Open Classifieds PHP classifieds system (www.open-classifieds.com). I really like it and, even though the site isn’t necessarily for posting classifieds, the system will work well for the owner’s purposes. I won’t post a screenshot yet, since I haven’t done anything to change the default theme.
Until next time, peace.
MAF Homepage
On January 11th, after about 3 weeks of working on it and months of planning before that, we launched a new homepage for MAF (www.maf.org). Colby Dees is MAF’s Art Director and he came up with the design. We use the WebGUI content management system (www.plainblack.com) and it took quite a bit of work to implement the design. Since there were quite a few style changes, I also had to go through the site and make sure I had consistent CSS. Including the missionary staff pages, MAF has over 250 pages and although I didn’t have to go through all of them, I did check to make sure the templates were consistent.
Along with the homepage, I restructured the navigation. This is a huge job on a site as big as MAF’s. I really like the way it’s setup now and I think the navigation is much more intuitive. I’d love to know what you think. Here’s a screenshot of the old and the new side-by-side:
