ICodeLayouts.com Coming Soon

I am finally going to put one of my oldest domains to use. Its just been hard getting back into the working mode ever since I came back from Europe and I think its time to get some things rolling again for me.

I am announcing the start of I Code Layouts. Simply put, I will be coding web layouts and offering other web layout services such as PSD to WordPress conversions and PSD to xHTML conversions. The expected turnaround for these projects are generally a day or two and sometimes they are a lot quicker.

As usual, web standards are coming into play and all the layouts spit out by my trusty dreamweaver and photoshop will be xHTML and CSS valid. I am hoping to get a few solid clients to use my service and then expand out into something larger.

I am planning on developing a client system with icodelayouts.com and my other domain icodescripts.com which is currently expired… That reminds me to go renew it asap before it gets deleted. Anyways, with the client system, I will be using a custom panel where my clients can access either site and manage projects and such. It might be apart of my CMS that possibly will be released publicly or for a small fee.

One of my good friends, and recent clients Ryden Rizzo will be whipping up a layout for me. Hoping to get the site fully launched and serving by the end of the week. Already served one client under this name, only a handful more to go!

And if you ever forget just remember… I Code Layouts.

Work in Progress: WordPress Manager

As many of you may know, I run my small web hosting company, and lately, a lot of my clients have been using WP blogs.  Like myself =).  What I am working on right now, is a WP Upgrade / Install script.  I would put in the variables, such as where the script is, and such, and it will upgrade / install the WP blog there.  It is going to be somewhat a server script that in reality, would upgrade WP when it is out dated.  I might plan on selling it commercially and get some profit off that shiznawt.

I plan to widen the support to forum systems, and other scripts that the average web host would need.  It should be very very interesting to see how well it works.  I just finished the installer part.  It is still mostly chicken scratch around, but it is simple and it will install the WP blog and return the admin/random password string that is genearted by WP on the installation page.

It is pretty sick, and I already have some people who are interested in purchasing it.

So Many Clients, So Little Time…

Well, I am sure that my name is out there, atleast some where. I have had so many clients coming in needing jobs done that its crazy! I have Dan from http://www.predatorstuff.com with a recode of his blog / script and I have another client who is starting up a myspace supply site with a CMS to do all the little chores. There is also another one who wants a Movie Trailer CMS. One with a Word Press layout that needs coded. An entertainment site CMS thingy mah bobber. And also, v3.final has to be released within about 2 weeks. A Game Review CMS, and probably a lot more stored somewhere else. Of course all these tasks will be completed, and before dinner too 😀

The problem I have is that I have school and I participate in a lot of activities at my Church and in my community. You just wait world! Wait until I am out of school! YOU WILL BE MINE! 😛

Not that I am complaining, I need to build up my portfolio with some nice looking sites, well developed and such. That will bring in even bigger clients in the future. Plus, I need the money to support my projects / LiquidxHost ( The BEST Webhost by the way… 😛 ) I still have not started on TutCMS, my sweet project. I may pick up a few friends and ask them to tag along for the development of that script, who knows. I also have volunteered to help out in some other projects too. School just takes up so much of my day. I get up at 5:45, go to the bus by 6:20. Reach school by 7:10 on a good morning. Go to school…. School ends at 2:30, get home at minutes to 4:00. Turn on computer, check mail, do homework, check mail again, go online / visible. Do work if I am home that day, and then BOOM, its 12:30, back to bed… So yah, So Many Clients, So Little Time… 🙂

Can you count from one to ten in eight languages?

I have recently entered a competition called eCybermission. Students choose a topic in your community and find a way to solve it. What we did, was accelerated learning using technology… You can’t pretty much beat the WWW, that is pretty high tech already! We got translations in counting from one to ten in the following languages:

Spanish

Korean

Chinese

Polish

Japanese

Italian

French

American Sign

You should check it out, you will more and likely learn something new, and you can never stop learning!
More about the project:
eCybermission is a nation wide science competition in the United States in which teams compete at a chance of getting atleast $3000 in saving bonds towards our future, things like college. The longer you keep it, the most interest builds up on it, the more interest, the more it is worth, get my drift? 😛 Since our team placed Second in the South East Region last year and we each got 3k a piece (not too bad eh?), we decided to go again but this time, for first place! This year, we entered once more since the odds are better at winning, and we hope to get first place, which is about 8k a piece, and an all paid for trip to Washington D.C. to present our project infront of the army, or something like that, its gonna be pretty big though, so wish me luck! The results come in later in the school year, maybe towards, the end, so I hope we get atleast another 3k a piece, that would be wonderful 😀

Thats all for now, bed time 😉

I am still debating if I want this to be a paid or free script. I am possibly going to make it paid, but I am not sure about it yet, still thinking much of it and where I am going to go with it.
