Update 004

Haven't been updating lately - mostly due to laziness - but a lot's happened since 03. For starters, I remade my layout yet again, putting the portfolio at Version 3.0. I've updated a few sigs, added a manip, and created a completely new original piece titled 'Catharsis'. The design itself is incomplete, having not included the owl yet or finished the tabs for Contact and Tabs (a section I've decided to implement for guitar tablature in gp5 format to freely distribute everything I've put on Ultimate Guitar because the users there don't know how to rate tabs). I also put NivoSlider on the site for the sake of previewing my latest work. Gotta remind myself to reinclude prettySociable for the sake of sharing my work.

Still waiting on word from Carthage as it seems their budget's tight lately. Did the design for Cupcakes Customized and uploaded to my portfolio, however. Also revamped the No Wooden Nickels page. It will take a lot more work, however (even excluding the user interface). For example, I'm not sure yet how I should go about implementing a 'What's New' section, though I'm considering having a docked div fixed to the bottom or side.

Looking into copyright registration for web designers. I doubt anybody's going to infringe upon my work, but I don't want to put anything past the clients, lest I find myself in Designer Hell like when I first began designing for profit... in other news, my back feels like it's breaking. Gotta get a real mattress unless I want a stress fracture in my spine before the age of 20 without even playing any sports.
