Google Image Traffic
Here is a great post about Google Image Optimization
Writing a new loop for merch.com
So as a way to help increase the page rank on the site, I have to build up all the band landing pages.
Looking to write an auto generated script that will cross link the bands better. Sounds like fun?
It’s not.

Wanting to buy a Mac Book
I know they are expensive, I know that I have two computers, but I want a Mac Book.
Something about having that level of mobility really helps increase creativity.

Clean PINK blog layout →
I like the clean look of the blog. Blogs often times get WAY to bogged down with Ads, Designs and other “tings”. Justin DID mention that the Pink was a bit hard to read on the white background, however I’m not sure. I liked it.

Slightly shady seo took an indepth look at what could potentially go into search engine ranking.
Archas Blog is coming along nicely
I have been watching / providing a bit of input on Archas Music Blog as of late. It is starting to look really good! If you want to see something trippy just resize the browser window.
I should ad that he is not supporting IE6. In all seriousness, GOOD! For internal projects I fully advocate NOT supporting IE6.

Just got an iphone!
I know that I am late to the party on this one, but I just got an iphone and I love it. I woke up early and instead of going to work I drove to the local Apple store and got me the phone.
I hope to figure out a way to post from it to tumblr at high speed.

Wrapping up a few designs
One of the hardest things to do is put the finishing touches on a design of yours. I am working with dani on a project right now. It always sucks to be at this point because it is a very fine line to walk to make sure that you will end up with a good design.

Setting up Archas Blog
Archa is setting up a music blog on his domain. However he was previously hosted with godaddy (booooo) so I set him up on Dreamhost.com under my account (its nice to have unlimited space). Anyways we set up the blog over lunch so hopefully it will be rocking soon!
Working on setting up a project for AEG Live.
We are working on redeveloping a site for AEG. I don’t know if I can say what it is yet, so I wont. The setup stage is always fun though. Basically the designs are started thanks to dani and I have to set up the wordpress site to handle all of the functionality.

Updating the Bios for Merch.com
Back when I redid Merch.coms band t-shirt website a year ago I set up the bands to have a dynamic include that requires each band to have its own page.
Yuck.
Anyways its time to update the bios… not fun at all.
Crying over PR4 blog =(
So it looks like the Frye / Wiles Blog just dropped to a page rank of 4. For those of you that don’t know what that means, good for you keep it that way. For those who do… I know PR is not a big deal at all. But still. It makes me sad to see it drop.
=(
Working on link networking for work.
Today is a “build up the internal site” day. Although it seems I do that every day. Have been building up the Southern California Web Design Firm Campaign lately. We are ranking on the front page for Southern California Web Design. This is not to bad since we started the campaign last week.
Back to linking!
We Hearth It / Visual Inspiration. →
I noted this because I liked the layout, also the content of the site is pretty cool. I have always been a fan of bright colored layouts.
Cleaning out the living room.
I recently moved into a new apartment with Justin Johnson. The best part about a new apartment is that you get to have a fresh start to everything. However the sad thing about this is that you have to work your ass off for a few days to make it all work out!
Hey, at least I get to set up my Detof case! YAY!
Trying to Launch the New Frye / Wiles Portfolio...
Been working today on prepping our new design portfolio layout. Just finishing up the little touches at this point. But those are the kinds that I hate the most. Mostly covering up my silly CSS mistakes.
It’s funny how something can develop into a much larger project when the little things kick in.
Bionic Justice Video Game Blogging
I have been working on Bionic Justice over the last few months. The problem that we had with this blog is that we just didn’t have enough time to work on it and keep it up to date. Bionic Justice is a video game blog for normal people. We have kicked back to a once a week post schedual. This has helped a lot, although only one of our writers has been keeping up.
Over the next few weeks...
Vimeo Guide - A vimeo website
So I have been thinking of this idea for a while now. Basically it is a blog that presents really good vimeo videos. This nice thing about this is that a lot of people are starting to follow Vimeo. This Vimeo Video Review Blog is going to be a great outlet for me.
A few of the problems that I am going to run into is getting traffic to my site. Like most blogs, (all other 5 billion) it will be...
