Spacepress

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:08:52 +0000

I had loads of fun with this one. One of the prettiest mockups I’ve ever created nearly ruined by the fact that it’s completely un-layout-able. I was able to get around that, though! (Except not for IE6. Cue heart attack.) And now it’s finished in all its glory, ready and waiting to burnish the face of your website to a mirror shine.

XHTML 1.0 and CSS3 valid.

Tested in IE8, Firefox 3.5, Opera 9/10, and Safari 4.

Quoit

Quoit is a small, lightweight PHP-based quotes database. Install is slightly less user-friendly than normal, but it’s nothing terribly drastic–just edit config.php to point to your database and access http://yoursite.com/quoit/setup.php to set up the tables. Once you’ve installed, you’ll need to delete or rename setup.php since users can potentially alter your database tables and create alternative admin accounts by running setup again. I tried to minimize the risk there, but nothing is foolproof.

There’s very little UI-based control over Quoit from an administration standpoint. There’s a link to delete a quote of your choosing (visible only to admins, of course) and that’s about it. If you want to make another user an admin, change the “level” field in their row in your database to 4. (To be honest there are only two user levels, represented by 1 and 4, but I wanted to keep my options open.)

There’s also no easy way to change your password. This will be coming in a future release, once I’m not sick of the sight of opening and closing processing instructions.

Enjoy! Download is here.

Minn 2.0

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 23:39:00 +0000

Minn is back, and it’s better than ever. With a new, original (I think) three-column layout that uses floats instead of absolute positioning, Minn will fill any browser window to the fullest and maximize your reading experience!

Tested in modern browsers. &c &c.

A Time To Speak

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 20:34:29 +0000

A Time to Speak is a literary magazine staffed by students from Providence Extension Program, a homeschool program in southern Ohio. I, a former student, was contracted to design the website for the ATTS people (these people include my sister).

It’s a very simple blog design, since all they needed was essentially an easy announcement system and periodic large updates, which is exactly the kind of thing WordPress is good at.

Tested in IE8, Firefox 3.5, Opera 9/10, and Safari 4.

TUMIZA

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 23:37:31 +0000

TUMIZA is a red and brown corporate site theme designed for GuruMarco.com. It started out as a web design mockup that I cleaned up and now-ized, but with varying requests from the guys at GuruMarco it eventually evolved into a more 90s-ish, compact, darker theme.

Tested in IE8, Firefox 3.5, Opera 9/10, and Safari 4.

ESL

ESL is a black and green, minimal theme. It’s left-aligned and has two sidebars, as well as an integrated search form.

XHTML 1.1 and CSS3 valid.

Tested in IE8, Firefox 3.5, Opera 9/10, and Safari 4.
