I finally got the new theme for DadThing done, and am happy with it! In fact, I’m seriously considering starting a web design business. In addition to DadThing I have also also designed the following sites:
- HoylmanConstruction.com – My brother’s construction company.
- Gourmet Art Studio – My friend Jurate is an awesome artist, go check out her artwork!!!
- Sabrina’s Brown Bag – My wife’s new party business website!
All of these were designed from scratch…no FrontPage or DreamWeaver or any of that crap…just plain ole’ HTML and CSS typed in Notepad. 😀
Let me know what you think about the new DadThing design in the comments section!
Oh, yeah…I have also started a new Reviews Section at DadThing. In the Reviews Section I plan to review items that can either be used by a Dad, or their children and family.
I’ve already got quite a few interesting products to review on the way, and and will continue to pursue other cool guy products.
If you have a product that you would like me to review, please email me at jared(at)dadthign(dot)com
Very nice Jared! I took a peek at the other sites you’ve done as well and was equally as impressed. You’re a closet coder, man!
@Chuck: Thanks…I really enjoy it. I’ve tinkered with programming for many years. I used to write PC software for http://www.rentron.com, but have recently moved to more of the web style programming.
Nice.
My experience with css is that an omitted comma or one too many semi-colons and you’ve got one hell of a mess!
You’re very brave.
@Ed: Yeah, I had quite a few messes to work out when I first started. But, after I got a technique down, it really is not that hard. 😀
It looks great, very clean and simple. I like it a lot! I am going to add you on my blog fathers section today. If you do go into web design let us know. I am always looking for someone to help breathe some life into my blog!
@Sheliza: Thanks for the link to DadThing! I also added link to your site in my sidebar… 😀
Wow. Jared this is awesome! I love the header photo. That little guy melts me every time! (Ace. Not you. No offense or anything :p)
@Honeybell: Thanks..I really like that photo too! It is from our most recent family pictures. I have many more from that photo shoot to post in the very near future… 😀 (No offense taken…I’m used to Ace getting all the attention. 😀 )
I recently re-launched my blog (thenewdadguide.com), decided to make the switch to wordpress so I know all to well the fun of working with CSS/themes. Must say your blog looks great. I love the clean look!
Hah! just goes to show how scrambled my brain is, miss typed my web URL… don’t want to take credit for someone elses!
@New Dad Chris: No biggie…check your comments. I misspelled Dadthing. 😀
Very nice. Been a while since I have been here. Been super busy. Glad to see things are going well your way and the upgrades are awesome
@DaddyKV: Thanks man…I know the feeling of being super busy.. 😀
