Silver Linings

I’ve been so busy with my first job; yes real job, not freelance; as a web designer that I didn’t get around to removing the “wannabee” tag from my blog.

That’s one of the silver linings of being fired from that coveted first job yesterday.

I don’t really have to remove the wannabee tag if I worked there less that 3 weeks and only helped get the site online and process the first sale, right?

Oh, you think so, do you?

Well, what if I tell you the site sucks? What if it’s based on a free template, but ugly, and the store’s plugged into an I-frame? See what I mean?

O.K. That’s settled.  Still a wannabee.  Still need to redesign this site :)

On the other hand, did learn a lot from the 3 weeks.  Tshirts are hot business on the web.  There is a nice little OS Commerce plug in available that would make a tshirt site really fun!

The other perk was finding this guy. Dave Reeder was the designer of the template (which wasn’t really ugly until you added my former company’s logo). He’s a for-real designer with a brain, the actual code for the template was sweet and clean. Read his post about FTP’ing a virus to some of his client’s sites here. I never thought about Filezilla being infected, did you?
