Well, then. It's been almost a month since I've written here. Way to long. Especially when my family relies on the site to find out what I've been up to :)
I'm Back
Work has been a phenomenal rollercoaster ride. We've been the victims of the market downfalls not because we're a startup ourselves but because our clients are non-profits that require funding from their members/participants or they are startups run through VC funding. So needless to say, would-be clients have been reluctent to sign on. It's quite annoying considering we brought one company's stock up 2000%.
I'm far from giving up - I've picked up a few book editing projects and thank goodness we bought a house we could afford on one salary.
People have been wondering what I've been up to since I last wrote. The Leaky Cauldron is keeping me as busy as ever. I'm bordering on obsession trying to find all the Harry Potter news across the globe before anyone else does. As a result of the daily content, I've created quite the user stickiness and while more and more people link to us, we're getting a lot of user returns. This is the first time I've really had a chance to run a content-driven site. It's great.
We've finally gone ahead and done it. The 12 Angry Web developers have gone ahead and started a browser upgrade campaign. I've been so sick and tired of having to kludge-design sites I run for people with older browsers when there are Web standards that all these browsers SHOULD support. So I brought up the idea of the campaign after redesigning the ZOT site to be all XHTML & CSS and after realizing the site looked like crap in Netscape 4.x. I had to use OS sniffing via JavaScript and create a separate stylesheet for Netscape browsers.What a pain. I plan on creating my own upgrade page after I finish the ZOT site.
