It's about me, Dan Gayle, and my dog. Except, there is no dog.

New year, New design

So it’s the end of 2007. Huzzah! The Seahawks are in the playoffs again. I’m working, if only temporarily, at the Seattle Times, and things are looking good.

My friend Jonathan sat down with me to work on a new budget to help me reach my financial goals, so starting Jan 1 I’ll have to start being more fiscally responsible. Eh.

In any case, it’s time to roll out a new design for the ol’ webpage.  Looks like I spoke too soon. Serious CSS errors have been found! I was looking over at wpdesigner’s website (I actually wrote a few articles for him a few months back) and I came across a nice new tutorial that he had put together. It’s called How to Code a WordPress Theme, and it is much better than his former tutorials.

I followed it all the way through during a sleepless night, and what you behold now is the results. Pretty snazzy, eh? I customized it quite a bit, although you can still see the remnants of his Wrath wordpress theme that he used in his tutorial.

As you can see from the screenshot, it actually started as a theme I wanted to design for our website Geek-vs-Life.com, but I ran into some difficulties along the way. It works great for my needs though. I’ll be continually tweaking it as I go along,  (It’s busted!) and eventually I guess I should release it, if Small Potato is cool with it. We’ll see.

Serious stinking css errors have delayed the emergence of my new theme. Drats!

Pioneers of Prime Time TV

My old roomate Thomas has an awesome acoustic band down in New Mexico that had an awful myspace page. So Thomas gave the the go-ahead to kick it’s butt, in good old-fashioned design style. Since I had just managed to do the same thing with my page, it was as easy as busting out the ole’ template and fixxin’ her up.

The tunes are good, and they put them all up for free to download, so check’em out!

Ded Bundee

I recently started working on an album cover a band called Ded Bundee, a band that is going to take over the world due to its awesomeness.

Here are the cover ideas so far. I’ve used my photography for raw material.

New Myspace Music Page

So, I’ve finally gotten my music page 95% completed. Laying those things out is a giant turd, I tell ya what. And remember, I am NOT a web programmer, so I’ve had learn all of it off of the sweat off my brow.

Anyway, check out the tunes, and let me know what you think.
