Ecleanup.com, what do you think?

[falconguard]

Truthfully, I thought this was a massive e-recycling center.

Hmmm, since I'm going to be a 1-man show so to speak, I think I could just refer to myself as a consultant or whatever I want to do. I checked, and www.derekrose.net is available. I met the guy a few years back who has www.derekrose.com and I can't get it

I don't care about having my full name out there, mostly I want to use it as a tool to market myself.

Thoughts?

How about amalgamating the two roots into one so that its clear what you are about and includes something of your name there - I tried a few variations and drstech.net seems to be available (which is a quick abbreviation for Derek Rose Services tech.net)

Yeah, maybe, but I need to decide what I want either. Good suggestion though

KCNYCHIEF, you wouldn't perhaps be from the KC area or have family there would you?

To be totally honest, when I saw the thread name I thought it was a link to some page that does environmental cleanup. Did not even cross my mind for a second that it was related to computers.

Well, once you have decided what you want your service to be and represent it should be too hard to find a domain name that meets your needs

I believe I have...

I'm going with http://www.derekjrose.com I have registered, but it's not yet active. To view it now, go to http://box32.bluehost.com/~derekros/

I just finished installing WordPress, so it's going to be hot, just haven't done it yet. Please bare with me while I'm designing

Nope, sorry. I live in MA. The story is that I L-O-V-E Sports, KC=Kansas City, NY=New York, CHIEF=Chiefs.

My two fav teams, KC Chiefs (Football), NY Yankees (Baseball)

 

[kcnychief]

Move the date abit left

I would get rid of the Archives, Categories etc from the right hand side and have them at the top with a drop down menu

Change the font of the Calender to Terminal think thats the font looks better imo

Thats what i would do

Other than that looks good nice colors and clean looking

Good suggestions, however I'm NOT good at coding, and I'm trying to muddle on through

Boring, run of the mill. Look forward to seeing progress KC, I know it's not finished.

I agree with Paul on the config of the 'sections'

I know it's boring right now, but after I get it setup the way I want I will FLOOD it with content Don't worry, I have stuff that has been sitting for awhile

EDIT: Also can't wait to change "MCP" to "MCSA" and eventually "MCSE" I might have my MCSA after this Saturday *hopes*

I hate programming. The few things I have put togeather were mostly jokes, tests, or I ripped off coding from a site to put my own creation togeather.

And the only reason I asked about the KC area is my name is Stephen Rose, and I have realation around KC.


But anyway, what about Compuclean.??? I haven't checked availability.

I hate programming too, I really do. But I figure once I get the layout down I can just add posts, so hopefully it won't be too bad.

About the relatives, I don't have anyone on this Continent (I love saying that) with my last name that is related. My Dad is from the UK

I also don't need CompuClean, I'm going to stick with just myself as an entity, consulting, self-promotion, etc.

GL chico.

Thanks for the wishes I'm taking 2 exams Friday and a 3rd on on Saturday

Heh, that's interesting. On the other hand, everyone with my last name is related to me. And there is only one other person in the world with the same first and last name as mine.

Yeah, it's cool. I actually have chatted with the other Derek Rose, who has www.derekrose.com. I tried to purchase it from him, but he said the people who run Derek Rose pajamas have already offered mucho cash and he turned it down. Oh well

Hey Nets, feel like helpin a brother out with some coding?

EDIT: I just had an idea, I could load this .php into Dreamweaver when I get home and probably have a better luck with it because it will be graphical. Thoughts?

I know Frontpage adds crap code to it but I don't think DW does...

EDIT 2:
I got the code down to this...

<div id="rightContent">
<h2>Search the Site</h2><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
<?php get_calendar(); ?>
<?php get_links_list(); ?>
<?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>
<h2><?php _e('Links'); ?></h2>
--Insert Links Here--
<?php } ?>

</div>

Looks much better on the code standpoint, which pretty much takes care of right. I assume the date is in the header....

EDIT: Found the date string....

<li class="right"><?php echo date("F d, Y"); ?> at <?php echo date("g:i A"); ?></li>

I changed "right" to "center" and it moved allllllll the way over directly to the right of the last menu item, no space at all. Bummer!

The page looks good. Keep it up!!
