That’s right, Dominic Fawver will be joining me at Affiliate Summit East 2009 this August in New York City.  Dominic will be assisting me in covering more of the conference for TrishaLyn.com, as well as starting a new model train related blog soon.  So look forward to another addition to the Blinkstar Media family and help me in welcoming Dominic!

RachelNuckols.com is now up and functioning.  This is a client site, built for a recent graduate of a sound arts program.  Ms. Nuckols wanted an online presence to showcase the portfolio work she has put together while attending college.  She wanted a simple site that has the media embedded and the descriptions of what she did for each project.

This was my first forray into embedded media beyond video.  I worked with different media players for the song files and sound files that were not attached to videos.  We finally settled on the simple Quicktime player for all files as it is the least intrusive to the cohesion of the design.

This is version 1.0.  We are currently working on a more suitable design. The site is hard coded HTML created in Dreamweaver.

I announced the launch of GirlScoutGuide.com a bit prematurely at the beginning of February. I didn’t really have a lot of content up, but now there’s some good stuff there, including a bit of a heartfelt thanks from me to my former Girl Scout leaders on this, the organization’s 97th birthday.

I’m working on adding more content in terms of songs, badgework suggestions and tips, arts & crafts, etc. Right now since Cookie season is in full swing, it’s mostly some cookie information and some news stories and my take.

I’m looking for someone with some Illustrator or pen & paper artistic talents to help me with some icons for the site, perhaps with a better logo but I can’t afford that just yet. I want to have category icons to put in each entry, so one for Songs, one for Crafts, one for News, etc. all in the same style. I could go through a stock photo site and find some graphics, but I’d really rather have something custom. Though I can’t pay much, and it irritates me that I even have to “outsource” this kind of work since I don’t have Illustrator myself.

So, any suggestions? I’m all ears

I’m pleased to announce the launching of a new site by Blinkstar Media: GirlScoutGuide.com. Girl Scout Guide takes the 12 years of scouting that author Trish has under her belt and turns it into a tangible resource for older scouts, leaders, camp counselors, and other volunteers within the Girl Scout organization.

Featured content will be news on the Girl Scout movement, badge work suggestions and help, camp songs, crafts, activities, and other scouting related hints.

To contact Trish with ideas or feedback on GirlScoutGuide.com, please email info@girlscoutguide.com

Simply put, Blinkstar Media has evolved over the years from Blinkstar Design, founded in 2002 by Trisha Lyn Floyd (now Trisha Lyn Fawver) as a graphic design/desktop publishing company to what you see today.

Blinkstar Media is a publishing outfit, responsible for blog content & a number of blogs, article content, affiliate marketing on a publisher level, graphic design for both print and web, and various other forms of media production.

Media is our baby, and if you’re looking for a sitter, we can fit the bill.
