I am not a web designer (more software developer), that said I do all of the work -including web design for my sites.

As mentioned in the last post, I recently updated the look for the Business Blog, Remix. I liked the way the new header graphic worked out so I thought I would do something similar for this blog.

Initially, I tried a photo image, however the results were not what I expected. I searched through stock clip-art I keep on hand and found a graphic I thought I could use.

The new header graphic for this blog looks similar to the one created for the business blog, however I am going to keep both headers for the time being.

Why not hire a web designer? Nerdy programmer cannot afford a web designer. Because of security issues, I have put on hold most of my programming projects, and began updating the graphics on several areas of my site (qisoftware.com). That said, programming is easier for me.

Other things I have been working?

By the way, have you noticed the relatively new widget on the WiredPages Real Estate page?

Unique properties are added to the interface (lower right corner on the page) on Tuesdays & Fridays. There are quite a few noteworthy (expensive) homes that you may want to scroll through. I have spent a little time going through the interiors of most of the homes. If you love great design be sure to check out the details by clicking on the links.

Want your Unique Property listed? A project I am considering.
