Coming soon: Virtual Consultation

January 21st, 2011 by Jacob Padgett

A few months ago, Brittany had a meeting with some fellow Graphic Designers, and I tagged along. The subject came up of consultations, and how a lot of times they can be a bit difficult to set up for both the customer and for the designer.

Web Update…changing IE6 Support

January 12th, 2011 by Jacob Padgett

So, let me start off by saying that I’ve been waiting to write this for a long, long time.

I am officially dropping full support for Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 6 and below. Previously, I would at the very least make rudimentary attempts to make a site look good in at least IE6. However, I feel the time has long come past for me, and for Attractive Penguin, to stop this. Instead, we will provide optional base compatibility, for an additional fee, only upon request.

Another Year is here…

January 4th, 2011 by Jacob Padgett

And so we enter a New Year here at AP, and with that comes some required items, as we settle down from the holiday hustle and bustle and get back to our lives.

First, of course, is the best of wishes for the New Year to all of our customers, partners, friends, family, and fans.  We’re looking forward to another year of being involved with all of you!

And then comes those pesky resolutions.  Brittany hasn’t made hers yet for AP (that I know of…) but I’ve gone ahead and put together some to share with all of you.  And before we start, I know how resolutions go…so I’m asking for help in keeping them!

Here’s some things I’d like to accomplish this year:

Update for August — Web stuff

September 1st, 2010 by Jacob Padgett

So, haven’t updated the blog in a while here…let’s give you a brief look into what’s going on in the world.

We’ve just launched a new website for a client. This is the first site we’ve launched for a client here at Attractive Penguin, and I’m particularly proud of this one, I have to admit. You can access the new site here:  http://www.christinemesiani.com.

This will also be the first site I’ve launched with the packaged version of the content management system I’ve been working on creating off and on since mid 2007. I’ve released sites before using the CMS, but this is the first one that is “from the package” so

Current Projects, timelines, and thoughts

June 22nd, 2010 by Jacob Padgett

So, Brittany’s already got two great entries on here, I might as well get on board with this.

So, our website is now largely complete…at least on the front-end. I am working on an RSS feed updater for our Twitter feed to post automatically to our contact page, and I might tweak some other things to run a little smoother, but the work is largely done.
