J Taylor Design Lehigh Valley Website Design

A lot has been happening around the digital realms of CrossFit Advanced. To keep things exciting, we were brought in to do a short video during a routine workout. However, in watching the video, you will certainly find that not all workouts are equal.

Over the past couple years, use of custom fonts has grown tremendously. Before fun CSS methods of using custom fonts were supported, we either used Flash options like sIFR to bring in custom fonts, or sliced images for headings and titles. The sIFR route was the smarter option as you could use the custom font on the fly, as opposed to having to create individual image files for each and every title. The downside to the Flash based methods is that they do not work on non-flash based devices. The use of @font-face in CSS has changed all of that, giving designers more flexibility when using custom fonts on the web.

Our good friends over at CrossFit Advanced have put together a challenge coined 115 Royal Burpee Challenge, which will start February 11th and go through June 4th. The challenge is simple (well, explaining it is the simple part). Starting February 11th, do one burpee. Add one each day until June 4th, where the final day requires 115 burpees. So on February 12th, do 2 burpees. February 13th would be 3 burpees, and so on.

We have been meaning to write up this post since the iOS 5 update was released for the iPhone this past October. Upon upgrading our iPhones, we noticed a nice new feature to create shortcuts, or ‘frequently used phrases’ when sending text messages. This certainly is not a new feature for cell phones in general, but it is a new feature for the iPhone that can come in handy.

Our good friends at Suzanne ND are taking a break from business for a few months. With that, they wanted to swap out their full website with a short message noting their absence. They gave us their text as well as the idea of a bear hibernating. From there we put our creativity to work and are pretty proud of the results.

A couple years ago, we wrote an entry on using PHP to auto update the copyright year on websites built on WordPress and other PHP websites. However, if you are building a site in ExpressionEngine, it is advised to utilize EE code when possible over PHP.

Allowing a copyright year to auto update is easy to do in ExpressionEngine thanks to the current_time variable, which still functions using PHP date variables.

It is amazing how quickly the year goes by. Looking back at 2011, we can proudly say that we made a lot of new friends, worked on a lot of great projects, and continued to hone our craft to be able to provide our clients with the best products possible. Thank you for making 2011 our best year yet!

I know that we have mentioned it before, but we have some great clients here at J Taylor Design. One of those shining stars is Lucky Girl Jewelry & Gifts.

Through December, Lucky Girl is running a Pay It Forward campaign where they are giving away gifts each Friday. The cool part is that the winner cannot keep the gift for themselves, or give it as a typical gift to someone (ex: for Christmas or a birthday). The gift must be given when it is least expected.
