Pardon my dust...
In case you didn't notice, this site is currently undergoing some cosmetic changes. Not really a redesign (though it took me long enough!), but more of a retouch. Cleaned up all the graphics and a lot of the code, and just gave everything a more polished look. Unfortunately, I had to slightly alter the HTML in a couple places (added an extra div around the main section and gave a div in the sidebar boxes... Continue reading

I've messed with my links RSS feeds
On Friday I made some changes to the way daily links were categorized and therefore have dropped my Quicklinks RSS feed, hopefully you didn't even notice and you shouldn't have to make any changes. The original plan was to try to keep blogroll and other favorites separate from my daily links in the feed, but after posting more than 600 links and 580 of them being of the daily variety I realized the extra effort...

Things they are a-changing

Plus I wanted to brag about some random traffic surges I've had lately. Site traffic The number of visitors to this site has skyrocketed in... Continue reading

New Year's Resolutions
Rather than making a single post with all of my New Year's Resolutions that I'll forget about in two months, I've decided to set some goals for myself and actually focus on attaining them. They might be short term or long term, easy or hard, serious or silly, but they're all legitimate goals that I have. I've added a brand new Goals category to the Doing section of my site to keep track of everything.... Continue reading

My server died!
Alright, this pisses me off at least a little bit. This site as well as 722webdesign are both hosted at Surpass Hosting. They are by far the cheapest host I was able to find and I haven't had too much trouble with them before. So today at about 2 pm the whole freaking thing crashed. It was down for about an hour and then it looked like they had reinstalled Linux/Apache/Cpanel. I was in contact... Continue reading

BrianBehrend.com: Version 3.0
I want to start this off by saying Internet Explorer blows. Big time. For some reason, the same HTML and the same damn CSS don't result in the same damn thing. On certain pages in IE the main content area is too wide and has some extra white background crap sticking around. POS outdated browser! It's done (sorta) For the most part things are functioning throughout the site in both good browsers and the one... Continue reading

Temporary skin
Changes aplenty have been made and a whole new look is almost ready. For those of you using Firefox or on a Mac, you can catch a glimpse of the future by visiting the redesigned weblog page here. Otherwise you get a temporary new look until the other one is completely ready. There are still many changes/fixes to be made, namely IE compatibility. I also want to make some changes to the way individual entry... Continue reading

UT versus Arkansas highlights
I'm now hosting highlights of the UT versus Arkansas game from last Saturday for JCDenton. Check it out. Update: Well that sucked down a whopping amount of bandwidth in just one day. I had to take the highlights down to ensure I'd have enough bandwidth for my other sites. Sorry.... Continue reading

New MT version installed
The new version of MovableType (MT 3.1) was released today and I've already gotten it up and running here. Not too much that you guys will see right away here, but it's just the first of many changes that are on their way. A couple of immediate differences: MT-Blacklist v2 is installed. For you that means your comments will appear immediately after you make them. More importantly, for me it means no longer wading through... Continue reading

Take that you domain stealing bastards
I've been getting more and more more interested in the business of web design lately, so last week I decided to look for a possible new domain name. I wanted an address that could be focused on design and my (currently non-existent) portfolio, so that this address could remain more personal. I was hoping for something to find a decent company name that would also have an available .com web address. I know I don't... Continue reading
