With the new year comes a new look – not because I didn’t like the previous look, I just think change is healthy sometimes. I needed a brighter look and feel for this site with hopes that it reflects the year ahead. I will also be upgrading wordpress this week so expect a few glitches along the way. Happy new year to all.
TMHappy New Year CHRIS & Everyone!! 2008, whew, I actually wrote it correctly on a check today… lets see how long that lasts
Nice, clean and bright. I like change, this looks good to me. Was all of this on your previous site? Where did all of your graphic links down the side go? (I liked them, it was like a bunch of bumper stickers – fun.) But this will certainly do!!
LOVE all the informative links too. Stuff to explore… great! Thanks for sharing – all in one place.
P.S. – Is it just me? the “permanent links” at the bottom are in white on this white background. Unless that’s just a problem solving test to see if your brain can solve problems… did I pass?
I have mentioned your name and shared your work all over the holiday Chris, you will be a household name (more than you already are) before you know it.

chrisHi TM! I just finished the upgrade (which included fixing the permanent links below). Thanks for your kind words and support. I am going to bring back many of those graphics but organize them more. I have been spending the first few days of 2008 by shedding some skin around the studio and around my websites. mudbubble.com is next

ZebulonI like the new look, Chris! I’m sure this area will fill up with stuff, but right now the links for your tutorials seem a looooong way down.
Hope your New Year is a great one!

chrisOk – the tutorial links have been moved up near the top where they belong. Thanks for all the feedback so far – one of my resolutions was to update this site and to stop biting my nails – so far I am 2 for 2

Mr PeanutThe rollover effects (the blue underline) on the links at the top of the screen cause a stutter in your webpage. I think you need an invisible underline on the mouse off position to prevent this.
I am using firefox, if it makes a difference. Looks good.

DamonThis is nice. Two things jump out at me. When you’re in the ‘books’ section, Shopping Cart is cut off, you get ‘Shopping Ca’. Also, besides clicking the logo, I don’t see a way to return the ‘home’ page. Maybe I’m blind, which is very possible. Otherwise, it looks great, much more ‘cheery’.

chrisThanks dz – yeah i know about the books width issue – working on that – also, yer right, the only way to go back to home is to click on “keyframer” right now.

ZebulonI think the graphic for “How to Cheat in Flash” needs to be bigger, like, 300×400 or something.
Seriously, I think the main page may need some nice graphics, something that says “I’m an amazingly talented Flash designer”. Maybe not so grand as mudbubble’s intro, but a little something, maybe?
Just a thought.
