One of the huge things on my plate at work over the last few months was to build a new Photoshop Elements Techniques web site. I’m happy to say that the site launched a little over a week ago—and, yes, I’m a little late with this post. Here’s a preview (click the image to visit the site):

Powered by WordPress
The entire site was built on WordPress (with the exception of the gallery and store, and those will be handled by WordPress soonish). I won’t get into too many details about how it works, but I will say that, in places, I had to seriously bend WordPress to my will to make things work the way we wanted. Overall though, I’m extremely happy that we’re using WordPress.

The result of my last 3-4 months of work is finally live. Earlier tonight, we launched the new onOne Software site.
Here’s a preview:

While I love the entire site compared to the old one, I think my favorite part can be found on the support pages:

One of the projects I’ve been busy with at work is building a new theme for the company blog. I’m happy to announce that we officially launched the new theme late Monday afternoon. Here’s a preview:

Go check it out and let me know what you think.
P.S. – I didn’t design the theme, our art director did—I did the code.

Since Tiff and I really don’t ever do holidays, I decided this year I’d write an iPhone app (well, a webapp) for her. So, last night, I did. When it was finished I realized that, with some tweaks, it might be useful for other folks out there with iPhones or iPod touches that want to give their significant others a geeky Valentine’s Day gift.
IMPORTANT: If you don’t have an iPhone or an iPod touch, don’t bother. It won’t work. The code relies on some CSS stuff only found in Mobile Safari (and possibly some WebKit nightlies) and won’t work in normal desktop browser. Again, it WILL NOT WORK IN A REGULAR BROWSER.
To customize the app for your Valentine, visit either one of the links below using your iPhone or iPod touch. Both go to exactly the same place, but the 2nd will likely be faster and easier to type on your iPhone/iPod touch.
Once you fill in the form and click submit, you can add it to your (or your S.O.’s) home screen or have it email the link to it to them. Just click the plus sign at the bottom of the Mobile Safari window.
Please let me know if you run into any problems or have any questions.
Enjoy!

As I was minding my own business late yesterday afternoon, I saw this tweet from @Mettadore pop up in Twitterrific.
I thought it was an interesting idea and figured the code to accomplish it would be pretty simple, so I cracked open my editor and started coding. Five minutes later, I had a working demo and promised I’d write a blog post with some sample code, so here it is.
The PHP:
