Re-Skinning 99% Complete…
June 20th, 2008
Well, spent a little time getting some things buttoned up in the WordPress world. This site is 99% there, and now it just needs some faithfull posting to fill it with some usefull stuff. Going to really start searching for the good things afoot with the Saint Louis Design Scene…. more feeds on the way to monitor some interesting groups within a new site i found called: MeetUp.com. It has some interesting possibilities for networking in the real world of Saint Louis design, at least those who are techno-savvy.
So the goal now is to make some posts, no promises – but i hope to add one each week.
