It is with great fanfare that I announce the birth of Since I created this blog, I have long dreamed of having a full website where people would go for stage management tips, tricks, stories and downloads. I was held back only by my complete inability to properly design web pages.
A while back I purchased Macheist Bundle 3, which includes lots of fun software. One of the more popular apps is Espresso, which is a new app for web developers. While on tour I started feeling a little bit inadequate as a geek because I didn't know any modern programming languages. So since I have this random free copy of Espresso, I thought I'd take some time to start out small and work my way through hand-coding websites in HTML, CSS, and onward from there. With nothing but free time between the tour and the Reagle season, in just a few days I had progressed through HTML to basic and intermediate CSS, and I decided to go ahead and buy the domain I've had my eye on for over two years, thegobutton.net (thegobutton.com, unfortunately, was taken, otherwise I probably would have bought it when I started this blog).
Along with that I purchased a hosting plan from godaddy.com, and uploaded the little site I developed onto it, and began expanding it. As of this writing, I have been working on this little project for three days, and I am ready to announce it on the blog. It's very much a work in progress, there are a lot of placeholders, but if you're curious to see what I'm working on, you can browse around, and there's a forum that's up and running, too (what I need a forum for at this point, I don't know, but I like forums).
This blog will eventually move over there, as soon as I figure out exactly how to do that. In all likelihood I will install Wordpress and transfer all the posts over.
And I promise, the banner will calm down. I needed to design a dummy one to get started, I had new Photoshop filters to play with, and things just kind of went from there.
