Merry Christmas to ya’ll and to ya’ll a good night

Best wishes this holiday season to anyone who reads this.  It was quite a year, to say the least.  I’ve been looking forward to Christmas vacation for quite a while… I plan on sleeping as much as humanly possible.

Started working with Solas again, and I’m just about wrapped on their new site design.  The site is live, though there’s a few more nuts and bolts to screw down.  They’re gearing up for their album release in early February, and wanted to get a fresh look.  Though it took a while, it would have taken infinitely longer without WordPress!  On top of the new look and feel, the site sports tighter social networking integration thanks to ShareThis and other plugins.

The goal has generally remained the same: keep the design simple, modern, and easy to navigate.  For the band, it needs to be simple for them to update (which is why I chose a WordPress backend to begin with).  Thanks to the mobile WordPress apps for iPhone and BlackBerry, a quick update is a snap–essential for folks that hardly have a minute to sit between gigs.

And, looking forward to 2010…

Musically: I’m almost finished mixing the new album from Ol’ Bill Dollar, and mixes for batsupsidedown should be finalized in January (fingers crossed).

In the interwebs: I’ll be making a website for The Cascia Center set to be built at Broad and Ellsworth streets.  Prepare for a new media blitz.
