Merging of Two Websites

Merging of Two Websites

Recently I've been talking about the merging of two websites on Twitter as well as Facebook. Well today I decided to tidy it up and make it happen live. Though I am sure there are some little aspects to deal with (such as redirecting one site to another site). So what sites am I talking about anyway? I decided to merge TylerIngram.com and TylerIngramPhotos.com. Since TylerIngramPhotos.com is primarily a photo showcase … Continue Reading »

Photo Portfolio Site Redone

Photo Portfolio Site Redone

Over the past little bit I've let one of my web sites dwindle down as I found it not as fun update. You see, with the previous incarnation of my photography portfolio website (www.tyleringramphotos.com) it was running on WordPress. I have had a few iterations with themes but essentially each blog post was a new photo. I began to dislike the way that worked and thought through some new ways … Continue Reading »

New WordPress Layout Here

New WordPress Layout Here

Alright over the past couple days (well today and yesterday) I've been tinkering around with a new layout here for Tyler Ingram dot Com. It's not an entirely new layout, but right off the bat you probably have noticed the various changes I implemented. Why Change the Layout? Some people fear change, I love change (well for the most part). I wanted a new layout that would give more emphasis on my … Continue Reading »

Making Things Dynamic

The past few hours I have been pretty geeky. I've been looking into Flickr's API (application programming interface) and how I can monkey around with it and PHP. What did I want to accomplish? At the beginning I didn't really have a goal, I wanted to see what I could do with it, how I can access my photos and from there I would figure out something fun to implement. Well … Continue Reading »

WordPress: Modifying Your Lists via CSS

While I sit here and look over my various sites including my Photography site, I noticed that the unordered lists were not styled. Raul also mentioned how I should write about styling unordered <ul></ul> or ordered <ol></ol> lists within a WordPress theme, as his was also missing styling. This won't be a terribly in depth post about how to completely restyle your unordered or ordered lists but it will hopefully … Continue Reading »

Royalty Free Photos for Personal and Business Use

Royalty Free Photos for Personal and Business Use

One of the aspects of web development and design, or even blogging is trying to find photos which you can use without having to pay for them or paying very little for. Today on Twitter there was a mentioning of a stock photography website that I believe many people might find useful when trying to find stock images for their web layouts or even blog posts. That website is FreeDigitalPhotos.net … Continue Reading »

Some More Blog House Cleaning

Some More Blog House Cleaning

Every so often I like to look at various aspects of my blog and tinker with them. It's nice to change things up a little bit but after doing a new blog theme for my site, Robyn pointed out the new layout lacked some items it previously had that she liked. The Categories on the sidebar and the Navigation links on the single page. I remember reading (not that I remember … Continue Reading »

Check Your Custom WordPress Themes

Check Your Custom WordPress Themes

Recently I was asked to look at modifying a 'Premium' WordPress theme and while browsing through the code of the theme I noticed a couple things that people should be wary of when purchasing themes, or at least in my opinion. In today's day and age in the World Wide Web there are various good practices a designer and/or developer should look at when creating websites or themes for web … Continue Reading »

Adobe Illustrator PC 1 Course Completed

One thing I find myself doing is constantly learning, especially when it comes to knowledge related to web design and development. I have always had a dislike for school but at the same time I have always enjoyed learning about whatever I can. With web development I have been looking to further my skill set and in an effort to do so I have been looking to branch off into … Continue Reading »
