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
