Welcome to Version 9.0 of artimeg.com, of which only some have actually gone live. I have been working on this redesign for a month or 2 now. There are quite a few new features. As you can see the top of the homepage now displays some of my work and will be updated when I can. At the bottom is a section of recent photos, which are randomly pulled from the gallery. Under that I am displaying my most recent tweets from twitter. (Currently not working for some reason. Seems to be working now, must have been a twitter issue.)

I am now using tags on my posts, although I need to go back through all of my old posts and reorganize the categories and tags.

Also, on the to-do list is clean up the css a bit. I need to do some organization and find any unnecessary code, but that will have to come later.

• Plugins:
• • askimet – Comment Spam Protection
  • Customizable Post Listings – Displays the recent posts on the home page.
  • Google Sitemaps – Creates a Google sitemap of my site and updates it and google when I create new posts.
  • SRG Clean Archives – Displays a nice clean archive page.
  • Tiger Style Administration – This one’s just for me.
  • Twitter Tools – Displays tweets on home page.
  • Ultimate Tag Warrior – Handles the tags.
  • WordPress Database Backup – Easy database backups from WordPressadmin area.
  • WP-ContactForm: Akismet Edition – Contact form script that uses askimet to handle spam.
  • WP Audioscrobbler – Displays my most recent last.fm songs on the home page.
  • WPG2 – Integrates WordPress and Gallery.

I promise this weekend I will finally get pictures up from the Breaking Benjamin’s St. Louis, MO show from June 15^th. OK, so I got busy this weekend and did not have time to edit the images, but I have started the process and will get them up ASAP. The images are finally up.
