Hey there everyone! This is starting to become habit. For the second time in less than a month my week in review post has run late into the week. I apologize for the delay in getting new content on the site, but you know how life goes…sometimes it just takes over. This has been a busy week for GrandmasterB, as I am putting the finishing touches on a custom theme for a vBulletin forum for work. I’ve been working pretty much non-stop for the past week trying to get all of the bells and whistles installed and working before the big day on Saturday.

FOOTBALL SEASON IS COMING

What big day you ask? Well, this Saturday is the kickoff to the Mountain West Conference football season! While I’m not the biggest college football fan; I am a fan of the network being broadcast nationwide on DirecTV and being the first network dedicated to a single college sports conference to go into nationwide coverage…pretty damn cool. The new forum isn’t quite live yet, but will be launching on Saturday morning for fans of the conference to jump on board and chat it up about their favorite Mountain West Conference teams.

…keep reading, trust me!

CUSTOM WORDPRESS THEME

What else is GrandmasterB up to? I just finished a custom Wordpress theme for a client in Vail, Colorado. The blog is for a Reggae radio show that posts their show playlists, as well as upcoming shows in the Vail Valley. I’m waiting to get the database off the old hosting server, so I can get it backed up onto the new WP install so it’s not 100% live yet…I’d say 98% though. I’ve included a screen capture of what the finished product looks like below. Overall, I’m pretty happy with the design, but the client loves it and that’s what counts eh? The design took about twelve hours from start to finish (concept to final product), but as I said there’s still a bit of work to be done with the database. I will definitely be adding this one to the portfolio.

WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

I’ve got a few other host projects coming up soon, and some others that I absolutely must get done! I’m still dealing with the concept of Mr. Pappagiorgio’s custom theme and trying to tie it into his current layout. Once I get in the zone and crackin’ on Photoshop it should come together nicely. Don’t worry Mr. P, I haven’t forgotten you bro. I think that’s about it from last week…I think anyhow.
