“This little baby was pushed through the interwebz birth canal by the gentle hand of Dr. Squarespace, and lots of heavy, heavy breathing.” – New to York, Tyler Thompson, Squarespace – Lifestream

Recently I offered some advice for how small businesses and independent professionals who aren’t very tech-savvy could expand their existing simple brochure sites into sites that will actively help build their business. …Because the way the internet works today, a static brochure site is like a car up on blocks: You can sit in it, you can show it to people — but it ain’t going far. After discussing some issues in the comments to that post with my friend maiki interi (a talented and thoughtful Web developer), I’ve decided to correct an important piece of advice.

After 10 years of existence and releasing a bunch of features including activating real time RSS feeds , jump breaks (AKA expandable post summaries for you WordPress guru’s) and anointing BlogPress Lite as the Blogger app for the iPhone, Google is now asking for suggestions on how to improve Blogger. ( Blogger Buzz ) As we close the chapter on the first ten years over here on Blogger, the team couldn’t be more excited about the possibilities that lie ahead over the next ten.

The web industry nowadays is very productive. During these years there have been many trends followed and every day the designers experiment new techniques creating new tendencies in the art of making website. Recently is evident the necessity of a direct communication with customers and a website is the first place where a company can make know their cool stuff and services. A well-designed website is important for the growth of a business and often to create a “fresh” and clear image for a company (or a product, or a freelancer) we need the help of the art of simplicity .

The old blog had numerous design changes, and I never really found a Blogger or WordPress template that worked. When I moved everything to SquareSpace and hired a WebMaster, I settled quickly into the template below: An American Lion, Old Design This worked well, I suppose, since a dark background with white or grey text supports a photography blog. I do run quite a few photos, but I also try to write as much as I can.
