You may have noticed that things have been very quiet on EliHorne.com, but don’t think I’ve abandoned my post (no pun intended).
Page 1 of the redesign is finished, and page 2 is about 50 percent done. With the new site accomodating my material and digital blather, I also intend on releasing at least one [...]

EliHorne.com visitor statistics
Like Derek, I am a statistics addict. I log in to Google Analytics and my ShortStat page at least 10 times a day.
While this site has only been a full fledged blog for a little under a month, a couple numbers have stayed pretty true. Some of this may surprise you, other areas [...] -

With chaz’s helpful comments guiding me along, I finished coverting page 1 of the “fleur” redesign into html. At around 2:30 in the morning, my “recent comments” and “recent posts” were almost 100% functional in wordpress.

Design resource: daily color schemes
As a designer, I often find myself looking for inspiration to get over a block. I visit my favorite design sites, browse a couple CSS galleries, but sometimes thats not enough to jump start the creative flow. The problem is that you see these great samples, but you don’t want to bite off [...]

And I’m back…
OUCH!

facebook revisited
