I’m truly honored to say that this Sunday at 8PM CST I will be co-hosting #BlogChat with @MackCollier. If you’ve never “attended” a #BlogChat, it’s simply a specified time that like-minded individuals come together to talk about content, blogging essentials, tips and tricks, and (this Sunday) blog design. I’ll be fielding questions and offering opinions on design tips, going over responsive design and how…
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, and with the new year finally here I have a lot of ideas and cool things to talk about.

It’s been long overdue for a design refresh, and this weekend I pulled up my bootstraps and got to work. There are quite a few things going on (both inside and out) that have brought my template into the new year (and will keep it on top for a few years to come!) 1) HTML 5/CSS3 The site is (as best as I can…
Let’s be honest – I’m ready to kick 2009 to the curb. This decade has been deemed by the news agencies as one of the darkest in American history. But let’s not focus on the negatives – let’s focus on what’s to come. We stand on the precipice of a new chance, a new start for some, and a new era in technology, media,…
Instead, I’m asking all of my friends and followers to help me out with a favor. Every year I take this time to recognize a special charity that is close to my heart. Child’s Play Charity is an organization dedicated to providing gaming equipment and toys to hospitals worldwide. They have over 60 hospitals in their network (Vanderbilt in Nashville is one of their…
