Based on all the great feedback on the intial business card designs, I’ve settled on these two final designs: A B Back Please post a comment with your preference – I see it as spacing (A – hard left edge) vs. readability (B – alignment of data). Some of the feedback I received was instrumental…

I’ve been thinking about what to do with the links page when I re-do my site. It’s terribly neglected and perpetually out of date, yet I link to sites all the time in my blog (and on occasion on other pages). Manual maintenence has not worked, so why not let the links page aggregate those…

I’ve started working on a new King Design web site that will actually have a little content on it. I originally indended to have one page summaries for all my professional offerings, however I started thinking that more of a break between personal and professional sites might be a good move. As such, I’ve been…

I’m starting to get tired of the system that runs behind the scenes here on alexking.org. I’ve found that I update my blog more than I update the rest of the site in part because it’s a habit and in part because it’s just easier. I built the basic template system used for the rest…

This server will be powered off and moved to a new (more reliable) data center this evening. This site as well as taskspro.com will be down for an hour or two while this happens. Hopefully none of you will be working with your Tasks trials on a Friday night anyway. 😉

I’ve shut down the ‘blog@’ e-mail address I used exclusively for leaving comments on other people’s blogs. I’d started getting ~25 spam e-mails a day at that address and decided to kill it before it got out of hand. Spam seems to grow exponentially. 🙂 Now e-mail to that address will bounce with a message…

I just got an e-mail from Brad asking if I could create an RSS feed for the WordPress CSS Styles. Good idea!

I’ve implemented A List Apart’s Smarter Hotlink Prevention. Let me know if this is better or worse than my old method for you folks using web based RSS aggregators. Here is a smily to test with.
