My first client Rachael Burke, took advantage of my free offer change her site over to WordPress. Heres a direct link to it (http://rjacobsburke.com/). I really happy how this website came out. I’m looking forward to helping her make updates to it as she continues teaching at Edinboro University and creating new bodies of work.

Also I have a test site for a new client live now, Charles E. Luceno a Personal Injury Lawyer. As of right now there is not much on the site due to I am still waiting on content and feed back from this client. I hope to have this sites finalized and live before I leave for the Battle of the Bulge event at Fort Indianantown GAP.

In providing the best service to my clients I have been offering to upgrade their websites to a WordPress format. This will allow them to have complete control to upload and edit content from any computer or mobile device. I have recently switched the website Mountains In My Bedroom to this format which can be found here (LINK). As of right now the 101st Airborne 502 PIR WWII re-enacting group is in favor of this option. The status at this point in time its on hold till the hosting client installs WordPress.

This past month I started to get involved with the Greensburg Art Club in helping conduct animation classes on Saturday. I am looking forward to this program as it will allow students of animations to get some fundamentals of this process without going to a major art school or college. Today I am meeting with another instructor of this class to set game plan for these classes. With my part in conducting these classes I am also offering my services to the club by upgrading their website in to a WordPress format. First draft of the this website can be found here (Link).

Recently Adobe just completed its 2011 beta testing of Adobe Muse a website design program that will allow the user to build a website without the use of HTML code. I gave this program a test ride with my 82nd Airbiorne 508 PIR WWII Living Historians website. Some of the tools are similar to Adobe In-design and Illustrator it needs an object alignment tools or a table tool. Adobe Muse is a good tool for graphic artist to build a simple website if don’t want to touch any code. I am curious to see how Adobe will improve this product.
