Fire From The Sky

Sites

These are some of the sites that I have designed and built -- not with FrontPage or other WYSIWYG bloatware, but with honest text editors. Most of the image work is done with IrfanView. I use mostly Free Commander to organize and upload files.

Several sites use WordPress as a mini content management system. I tailor the appearance and then, in some cases, give the site owner a few pointers and turn 'em loose. I have also worked with Drupal and (egad) Metadot. Trying to get into Joomla, but it tends to leave me cussing.

The Land of Fractalia
The Land of Fractalia
On Angelfire - ack, the ads and cookies - but flourishing for several years now. Proud member of the Infinite Fractal Loop, its purpose is to display a selection of fractal images that is occasionally changed. Most of my fracs are now here at FFTS.


Cupola House
Cupola House - a National Historic Landmark, the house was built in 1871. It now houses a museum and elegant shops. I have passed on care of this site, after seeing it through a server move and setting up a shopping cart.

Wups, strike half of that. Rebuild in progress, never mind the gory details. It's going into WordPress if all goes as planned.

Rainbow Rescue of Wisconsin
Rainbow Rescue of Wisconsin
Volunteer work for a non-profit animal rescue organization, colorful because of the rainbow theme. It was on a "free" host. It has vanished more than once, and it's gone again. Stay away from web1000. There are honest free hosts around, they just weren't handily available when I needed to get this one on line.

~ the nth remake of my original first site, a nice exercise in CSS. It is gone for good. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I first built it while learning HTML. See the almost-original now in my archived version. It's a hoot. M'gawd, I used tables!

I am usually available for work on site design. I can troubleshoot code problems too -- and might just let you know if you have them without being asked (LOL)
FFTS Forum, for discussion of web design, writing, digital art, is also a "skin factory" for testing new SMF themes. Originally done with phpbb, then converted to SMF. I prefer to work with SMF, but will tackle anything. Yea, verily, I have skinned a few different shopping carts.
