Launch Your Website and Learn WordPress Along the Way
December 6th , 2010
Over the past year, I’ve had some great experiences working with friends who were messing around with WordPress, but just needed me to help them get everything configured and customized. These weren’t folks who needed a highly customized website solution, but folks who needed their sites to fool people into thinking that they cost a fortune to build.
The How
Since these were people who were open to getting their hands dirty with a little simple technology, we had a great time working together either via Skype or in person updating the site together, changing a color here, adding an image there, adding a page here, changing the text there, etc. Since WordPress makes it so easy to get a website live, we could just play around and have fun with it until we ended up with what my friends wanted to see, all the while cracking silly jokes about all sorts of sundry (but family-friendly, of course) topics.

What I Learned About WordPress Last Week #1
May 2nd , 2010
Inspired by the supa-talented Portland-based designer Deb Pang Davis‘s recent blog post What I Learned this Week #19 2010, I’ve decided to follow suit with my own list of things I learned, last week, but just about WordPress (otherwise we’d be here all month, as I obviously know very little and each week is a completely new adventure in all areas of my life).

Welcome to My New Website!
November 1st , 2009
Hey there everyone! Wow, it’s my first blog post on the long-awaited (by me, at least) OFFICIAL Magnetic Webworks website!
You see, for the longest time, I had this silly old site I called my “online business card” since I was (thank heavens) too busy with my clients to create a proper online home for myself. You can see that old site here if you care to.
Thankfully, I have been blessed with even more clients than when I started, but over the past couple of months I’ve been putting in as much time as I could between projects to complete this site, which hopefully gives a good picture of what I do, and embodies the passion I have for what I do.
Of course, like all websites, this one is a work in progress. And that’s the beauty of doing things online.
I will get “all Zen” on everyone for a moment and remind them that just like nothing in this world is exempt from change, a website needs to be a living and breathing organism constantly changing to reflect all of the changes going on in one’s business as well as one’s view of the world. In fact, one of my favorite bloggers, Johnny B. Truant writes a great article about this very topic.
