Greetings all,
I wanted to take a few minutes and thank you all for all of your support so far. This website has reached heights I would have never dreamed, and it continues to grow in popularity. I am very excited to see where it all goes, as I continue to write and promote. That being said, once again, we have outgrown our design. This site looks like a child designed it, and it doesn’t stand up in the big leagues.
So, I have sank some cash into it, and in addition to already moving it to a faster server, (1and1 just couldn’t take the heat,) I have hired a professional web designer.
SamDiener.com has gone through a few iterations over the past 6+ months, and I thought it would be fun to provide a past look at the site, so without further ado:
My first effort was a massive failure/conglomeration of failed javascript, flash, and actionscript 3.0…. hours and hours and hours of learning code yielded a somewhat tacky effort that kind of worked…. for about the first three weeks of the site.
Of course then came the sellcreativity blog concept. While it still exists over at sellcreativity.com, I think it probably gets 1 visitor a month.
Of course I was just getting started, because then came the site where the original “How to Creatively Network For Your Job Search” was published:
The next layout was a hybrid of my reprogramming and a stolen copy of thesis, and stealing the design from another web site. The web design was a major catastrophe, as I learned pretty much all of CSS, Thesis, and a TON of php to make the site work. However, after about 100 hours of work, I decided I didn’t want my site to be using someone else’s design on a framework I didn’t pay for, so that layout was live for about a day.
And then we went back to the previous format. I kept it and the site got very large.
Of course, now we have the design you see now. But not for long….
