I’m proud to announce a new completed website at Klaraos.com. Klaraos came to me with their old static website, built in tables and their wordpress blog and said they wanted the two combined. The solution was to redo the site in the Joomla CMS, which worked out very well for this application. I redid the graphics to match their needs and current branding then added content including the previous blog content. Then a few extras were added like links to social networks, social sharing on articles and a live Twitter feed. I also incorporated a fantastic 3rd party plugin that auto generates newsletters every week. The newletters contain the articles that were posted that week, all hands off and automatic. Joomla was a pleasure to work with and I plan to work with it again in the future. Click to visit Klaraos.com now.

Music Video Jam - Watch and Rate Music Videos

I have a new personal side project up. It’s called musicvideojam.com. I love music videos, so this is a way for me to save ones I like, as well as share great music videos with anyone else who wants to see them. It’s a wordpress blog. I wanted to keep it real simple, but acheive a few key functions. One was to incorporate The Disqus comment system and the other was to make the posts and thus the videos rateable and have “charts”. I also acheived this through the GD Star ratings plugin. We’ll see how it works. I haven’t tweaked the graphics or background yet.. but I have some cool ideas in the works.

Check it out! Watch music videos and rate on your favorites at MusicVideoJam.com!
