Poems Only Get's A Fresh New Design

As the title says, yes I gave poems only a new design as well as a new community system. It allows people to post comments, rate poems, submit poems, and has a community forum. In short, yes it's a Word Press Blog with the Thesis theme. However by the time I get customizing and editing a blog, you might as well call it a Brandon Tran theme because it really has minimal comparison to the original Thesis theme. That theme software wasn't cheap by any means, however it comes with a few perks. I can use that theme on any of my websites, and for clients, there is an additional $40 license fee. So far I am very pleased with the new site and its functionality. Here comes a little shameless promotion: If you have ever written a poem you should head over to Poems Only and post it! Help contribute to the community :) I will love you for it. And who doesn't want a little bit of Brandon love? Nice you are moving already, Thanks!

Here is a screen shot. Ignore the ugly advertisement on the right.

Youtube Site Everything Upside Down

The other day I was watching some music videos on youtube and noticed that everything was upside down. I am not sure if it was a hack or one of the developers wanted to mess around with the youtube style sheet for kicks. Well I took a screen shot of it, and it only lasted for about 20 seconds and was back to normal. I am sure they enjoyed that practical joke. I sure got a kick out of it!

New Forums for Holistic Health Library

I have put a lot of time installing and customizing a Holistic Health Community Forum for HolisticHealthLibrary.com. It turned out great! Still a few kinks to work out, but for the most part it works and functions correctly.

The forum is actually a word press plugin from simplepressforum.com. It has about 1 million options, so configuring and customizing something like this is not an easy task by any means. And of course if something isn't perfect, I can't leave it along, I have to get in there and edit some of the code work so it is just the way I like it. None the less, it turned out well thanks to SimplePressForum.com
