New Years resolutions and commitment

by Scott LaPlant on February 8th, 2010 | No Comments |

I’ve never been one to make New Years resolutions – and I’m not really sure why this year was different but, I decided to make a resolution for myself. I’ve committed to getting back into shape and honestly, I don’t know why I’ve waited so long. In a very short period of time I’m already seeing benefits.

What the iPad means for you

by Scott LaPlant on January 27th, 2010 | 1 Comment |

Despite what the title may lead you to believe, I honestly have no idea what this might mean for you. What I think it might mean for content publishers, i.e., newspapers, magazines, and content/media companies in general, is that consumers will finally have a device that will allow us to consume this content in a more natural, comfortable way.

Redesigned – again!

by Scott LaPlant on January 16th, 2010 | Comments Off |

Well, the new design is up and for the most part I’m pleased with how it’s turned out. It wouldn’t be a redesign if it wasn’t still in need of some further refinement and tweaking. Over the course of the next three days I’ll be tweaking, refining, and completing this theme.

Before that happens, I’d like to give some credit where credit is due! My good friend and Wordpress hacker, Keith Solomon is responsible for things working properly. He’s an incredibly gifted Wordpress developer and I would encourage you to contact him if you’re looking for work done on your Wordpress install.

Mini review – Gravity Forms

by Scott LaPlant on December 28th, 2009 | Comments Off |

I’ve fallen back in love with Wordpress. Over the past few years, with the attention to standards based markup, it’s easy to understand code and the vast array of plugins and active development on the platform, it’s been easy to love.

One plugin that stands above the crowd (at least for me) is Gravity Forms. It makes creating forms a snap. I sent a question to their support email and received a response inside of 5 minutes. No idea if that’s the norm but I was impressed.

Speaking of being impressed… creating a form only took me a matter of minutes. I’ve been playing around with it and I’m truly blown away by just how simple it is to use.

Do yourself a favor… if you work with wordpress and create a lot of forms, you’ll really want to check out Gravity Forms. It’s a real time saver.

Looking forward to the New Year

by Scott LaPlant on December 20th, 2009 | Comments Off |

I’ve been busy getting accustomed to the new job and loving every minute of it. As sometimes happens, you get busy and forget about the other things you have going on in life, namely this blog.

I’m putting the finishing touches on a new design. I’ve never really finished this one – it just never felt like it fit me.

My hope for everyone is that you’re spending the holiday season with friends and family and you’re taking time to enjoy the peace and quiet. I’m looking forward to the extended time off. I can’t wait for the New Year. This past year has been a good one for a lot of reasons and I’m hoping to continue the trend and get on a roll.

From my family to yours, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and a wonderful New Year!

Your future is today

I recently left my job without having another one lined up, while the world is in the midst of the worst recession in recent memory.  The job was helping to feed my family but, it was doing nothing to feed my soul.  Despite reading some sage advice from the Harvard Business Review website, titled: How to Protect Your Job in a Recession I was throwing mine to the wind!
