BlogSmall business, Marketing, Promotion and Web Design

Via LiveJournal found some fantastic looking web mail systems. Unfortunately out of three - one looks too much like default NeoMail skin, one needs its own web server and another one is still in early alpha (as it looks from Bugs page on SourceForge).

But look at the screenshots!

• Windows Live Writer (August 15, 2006): Turns out the whole idea of having a desktop app to manage and post to blogs surely wasn't a bad one. Microsoft had managed to come up with a tool that is compatible not only with their own MSN Spaces, but with LiveJournal, WordPress, MovableType and even Blogger (this post, if successfull would mean it works).

• Weebly… (January 17, 2007): Took me less then 5 minutes to create this page: http://zealus9.weebly.comI'd say it's a lot easier then Google Pages. Google, pay attention :)
• Testing Writely to post to Blogger.com (September 6, 2006): This is a test - do-do-do-doWritely's working fine for me and you :)
• Testing bloggar (August 1, 2006): This is just a simple test of bloggar - the blog posting software. Nice thing...Apparently, you have to "unlock" the blog in order to post to it. So, unlocking is pending...

The web site is up and running. However, the owner (great guy, actually!) keeps adding more and more ideas to it. Problem is - they contradict (technically) to each other. So every time he comes up with something I do hell of the research on how to do it properly (takes a lot of time), find out the solution (client is already upset that it takes long), give him an answer and - boom! - get next great idea that trashes previous work.

It’s my problem though, I work too slow. Need to do everything faster. Should I stop sleeping?

• Radio Ga-Ga (April 3, 2006): One of the problems while dealing with clients - is the problem with clients that don't know what they want. A client I work with on initial drafts (in fact it's a group of 6 people, most of them - women of various ages) has rejected six initial drafts - more or less original from my [...]
• Clients, clients, clients (October 21, 2004): "Client doesn't know what he wants until he sees what he gets" - that's sooo right! They had this terrible yellowish design with tons of useless flash buttons and very heavy scripts... Yuck! Now it's going to be stylish, neat and clean... and they hesitated because they used to old yucky thing... poor them, they don't [...]
• Client on a rampage! (June 23, 2005): One of my clients for whom we are doing the web site now went on design rampage yesterday. We gave him three drafts, he chose one, we started working on them, polishing minor details, etc... Everything was fine until yesterday night I got a message from him. He said that he finally figured out what [...]
• Chat is operational! (November 29, 2004): Now the chat for Generationnx.com is operational. Little left to do - redesign the header of the web site and design the new forum. After that the project will be 100% complete.

Brand new AquaShield.com web site is up. Some minor tweaks and header changes are on the way, but main part is pretty much done. Check it out, it’s a good company if you need to build a pool enclosure, swimming pool cover or something of that nature.

Needless to say I was eager to help and within days [...]
• Well, first part is over, more to come (November 12, 2004): First part is over, the client was introduced to the new working web site. Of course, there will be some minor issues and bugs and there will be some things to fix and so on, but nevertheless - it's WORKING! On the same note - let's hope I will be able to survive the stress of [...]
• Weird people that sell hosting (January 20, 2005): Yeah, weird. How else would you call these guys that don't return phone calls, don't respond to e-mails of their clients? They seem to be too big to notice small clients that have invested in whole year of hosting. And instead of making another sale they just ignoring it. Good, I'll make a sale on [...]
