Okay, now I'm going to add another layer of portfolio magic onto the matrix. StyleApple wants me to add this badge to my blog and get featured for 30 days.

Let's give this a try and see how it works.

Behance portfolio in progress

OMG!, Can't believe I need to create ANOTHER online portfolio. I haven't finished the last one. Just as I thought I was getting the hang of WordPress, I'm faced with another content management system, but this time it's owned by ADOBE.

 BEHANCE 

Behance is the social network that ADOBE Inc., the creative software giant, has recently acquired for their creative community. It will add to the already exclusive group of users for production of everything from websites to feature films. Behance is just another way that ADOBE users can interact and share their creative output.

Manta is really upgrading the services they offer, I'm putting this here to see if I can get any viewers. Let me know what you think.

Why not have both?

Yes, Dreamweaver is complicated, but when I load a page on my host server, it generally reacts as I would expect. The WordPress site kept giving me unexpected results. I think it was my host server that just wasn't ideal for WordPress templates and file structure that it requires. I've moved one of my domains to another host and I'll put my WP portfolio on a host that's better suited for WP. I'll go back to building my services site in DW. This way I'll have BOTH! I can work my services site in DW and have my portfolio on the WP host.

Is WordPress the answer?

trying to work within the constraints of WordPress is making me crazy. I probably should have stayed with Dreamweaver after my GoLive site was misbehaving. Now, I'm going through templates to see which ones have the most versatility and options. They are all kind of klugish. But now I realize my host isn't set up to save the pages and posts correctly. AAAARG!

Working on my new online portfolio

Decided to use Polaroid pictures on a light box as my metaphor for the presentation of my accomplishments in graphic design. The Agfa lupe and wax pencil are old friends of mine too.

Perhaps I'll even add an Xacto blade for the edginess I need.  But as I work in the HTML of the latest version of CS, I'm always looking to see how they decided to IMPROVE the programs by making them MORE complicated. Nothing is easy. Check out my site as I add pages from my colorful past. I'll travel down memory lane through my decades of projects and employers.
