I think we did another nice job. No credits this time (I’m too lazy), but a special thanks to all those Sarah’s out there, especially Sally (one of our favorite Sarah’s).
And here’s the video:

Settled on a theme, sorta…
The more I looked, the more I realized that I needed a conservative and straightforward look to deal with this site’s architecture. I swapped the banner for a fractal I sound about five years ago – and then ded some really amature-ish effects to the corner so you could still see my page title. You still can’t see the title very well – and that’s on every wordpress page until I change/fix. Also, although I like the fractal, it doesn’t go with the colors and look of the rest of the template. For now, I don’t care. It’s more important to have a shape I can work with. If I’m feeling ambitious, I’ll see if I can learn enough php and/or css to simply change some colors. I’d also like the titles to be sans serif also. Bottom line, it’s not perfect, but it’ll do for now. The tinkering continues.
The next movie is ready
I’ll post again when it’s done uploading to YouTube. iMovie is so easy. I love it! It ended up being not that long, which is pretty cool. In the same way that the last movie was focused on Finn (Liam) for about half the clip, this one is focused on Em’s amazing battle with Ticketmaster to get Crowded House tickets. It’s an epic clash!
Next movie status update
I’m trying to decide if this one or two movies. If it’s two, then the first one is pretty much done. iMovie is just that good.
The second movie (or second part) is a thrilling saga where Em documents her struggles with evil Ticketmaster the morning after her 36 hour chemo infusion. This all unfolds in realtime and it needs almost no editing.
As you’ll see in part one, we had a great visit from Sally. She took extra good care of us and we really loved having her.
Anyway, something should be posted before the weekend is out.
Here I Am!
I can finally post on my own website!!
Not really getting the hang of it…
I can’t find a theme I like. I’m most likely to take the original/default now. That means no picture at the top. Let me see what I can do…
A few more thoughts…
I think I’m getting a limited feel for this platform. I’m getting into a bit of a rhythm.
Another reason to celebrate WordPress is that it will work on safari whether its a pc or mac. That is brilliant!
Development Notes
Working with WordPress to see about making it a permanent home for mpomy.com. The Google page is just a bit limited compared to this. I wish I could work with the html a little bit (certainly the opportunity is there), but there’s no reason to try and reinvent the wheel.
The architecture here is geared toward writing and that seems a bit antiquated. This is supposed to be a blog, but I’m hoping to have a lot of pages linking to music, youtube, etc. The google architecture is letting me do that now, but it’s sooo boring AND it doesn’t play nice with Safari. I’m actually finding a lot of instances where mac and google don’t get along and it baffles me.
