studionashvegas has a new look

I know I know i’ve been neglecting the site for a bit, but i’m releasing fresh with a (sort of) new style and some new features.

The obvious difference is the color scheme.  It’s getting to be fall/winter, and that seems to be my fallback (get it, "fall" back) color choice.  I like the dark wood paneling, and zygat3r did an amazing job on it.

Second is the new "lifestream".  After some glorious hacking from FriendFeed’s widget I’ve managed to get a working badge on the site.  It has a lot of sites in it, and you can bet with BarCampNashville coming it’s going to be a hub for me as well as anyone who cares what’s going on with me.

Finally, I will be taking all of my portfolio pieces down (minus a few) and starting from scratch in posting them.  I’ve neglected to put new work on, and I plan on releasing works that I have permission to post now.

As far as other noteworthy items, I will be releasing a free WordPress theme in the coming weeks.  I’ve got the code done – i just need to test it for usability issues.

So, enjoy the new site, and let me know what you think!

    If you’ve updated your plugins in the last 24 hours, go straight back into your website and do it again – there’s a chance you may have downloaded some infected plugins that were hacked into the repository. According to WordPress.org, the plugins AddThis, W3 Total Cache, and WPTouch were infected with a backdoor that lets…
