Family website gets a new look

Posted by admin on December 27, 2008

WordPress is so versatle, that I’ve spend the last couple of days giving my family website a complete overhaul.  What used to be a blog managed by blogger with the coppermine gallery for photos has now been converted completely to WordPress, utilizing the NextGen Gallery for the family photos.  Various common plugins are also in use, such as cformsII and akismet.  I’ve modified the freely available Oriential theme to create the look.  Visit oneproudmama.com and take a look.

Chris Pirillo Giveaway!

Posted by admin on December 20, 2008

Chris posted on his blog about how he and his wife had the wonderful opportunity to go on a shopping spree for toys to give away!  He talks about how fun it was to relive their childhood memories while shopping thanks to a generous donation by Sears. As Chris puts it,  they

“…thoroughly enjoyed taking a trip across town and down memory lane as we tore through the “Toy Shop.” The goal: to find $500 worth of toys to give to a local donation center.”

Read all about it here: http://chris.pirillo.com/2008/12/15/receiving-the-gift-of-giving/.

While you’re at it, go ahead and join in on the contest Chris has going on!  I’m entering to win the Lego package, because Lego have been a longtime hobby of mine (26 years to be exact!)

Merry Christmas, Chris and Ponzi, and thank you for your generosity!

Vivid Digital Technologies website takes a new approach with new design.

Posted by admin on

The Vivid Digital Technologies website is undergoing a new design with a whole new approach. In the past, this website has been used to promote the products that Vivid offers. But with a new year, brings new ideas, challenges, and goals.

With that said, this website is taking on a more personal approach. If you are unsure of who Vivid Digital Technologies is, let me introduce you. Vivid Digital Technologies is the name that I conduct my business as. My name is Nicole Arnold and I am a freelance web developer. I live in Michigan with my husband and our three children. I love cats, computers, crochet, and reading. I’ve been a Lego collector for over 25 years and take great pride in watching my children begin their own collections. My desk is always messy and, like most self-proclaimed geeks, I have coffee for blood. :)

With a tumultuous year almost behind us, it’s time to start thinking about better days in the new year. This site will no longer be focused on selling my services, but will be used to provide a resource for anyone interested in web design or using their website to it’s maximum potential. As a resident of of the state of Michigan, I am dedicated to assisting our hard hit state with tips, advice, positive thoughts, and of course, web design services to the small businesses that are struggling to keep our local economies moving forward.

I currently offer Blog-MI as an affordable website solution to Michigan small business and have new specialty websites in the works to make an Internet presence attainable for even the smallest of Michigan businesses. In addition to getting Michigan businesses on the Internet for potential customers to find, I am working to build a system of websites devoted to marketing those businesses in numerous ways to give them the most exposure I can.

If you are not a Michigan business or resident, don’t worry. I can help you, too. My freelance services are available to people across the globe. My biggest joy is working with the WordPress platform, so if you need assistance with your WordPress blog, give me a shout! I’d be happy to help.

Now that you know a little bit more about me, feel free to stop by any time and enjoy the site!
