I’m writing this sitting in a car travelling to Kentucky to my parents house for Thanksgiving.  Isn’t technology fantastic?

It’s been just over two years since I bought my studionashvegas domain and started the twitter account for my business.  It’s been a very interesting two years (to say the least) but if you would have told me two years ago what I would be doing now, I would have probably laughed in your face (or at least, I wouldn’t have believed you).

Most people would use this space to thank people by name (and believe me, I could fill your RSS reader with people who have been both an inspiration and blessing [and when needed, a kick in the pants]) but since there’s so many names to put, I’ll leave it at this:

If you’ve been a client, a contractor, a vendor, a follower on twitter, a facebook friend, or have in any way, shape, form, or fashion had any interaction with me, both good and bad… thank you.  I wouldn’t be where I am without you, an I can only hope that I have (even if it’s in a small way) done the same for you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

    One of the most useful features WordPress has is the ability to create custom image sizes from uploads.  This takes the guesswork out of design, as it allows me to specify exactly the dimensions I need for my image.  For a long time, WordPress had the ability to switch between a “soft crop”, which basically…
