Updating the Site
by Sean Carter on Sep.09, 2010, under Personal
So, before I get into some of the changes I’m making on this site, and how I got there, I wanna say… My Firefox Persona number one has been approved.
So if you wanna update your firefox to have an id8tion look go to http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/291598 .
Now, to the website. First thing one must do is check out the HTML5 Boilerplate, it can be found at html5boilerplate.com. This is great for everyone, from those who have been web forever or those of us who have been gone from the digital canvas for some time.
Since I have been away from website design for so long, it’s taking me a bit longer than i had hoped to finish my site. HTML5 and CSS3 were not around when I started, nor when I pretty much stopped doing sites. Then again, I think we were still on Creative Suite 2..
I’ll post more, as I finish my site. I have added some little effects that take advantage of HTML5 and so some browsers may not get the whole effect. Then again, I’m keeping the cool little changing portion that shows different quotes from Linked In.
Firefox has “themes” too…

So, it has come to my attention that Firefox has started having “themes” to add to your browser. They call them Personas. So, this reminds me of the fun I had making iGoogle themes, whereas I have just noticed that one of my themes is the 87th most used theme, as seen here.
I have submitted my first firefox theme, and will work on more very shortly. It’s a quick and simple way to distract me for a few moments as I work on my new website redesign.
I will post a link to the firefox persona, as soon as they are accepted and if you haven’t checked out my iGoogle themes, you need to ask yourself “why not?” Here, I’ll make it easy on ya, here’s Sean Carter’s iGoogle themes.
New Look, COMING SOON
by Sean Carter on Sep.01, 2010, under Uncategorized
So, here I am again. I hope you haven’t forgotten about me. I’ve still not found a full time design or creative position anywhere, but I am really hoping something happens soon. I’ve been waiting tables for over a year now and I haven’t had a freelance project in a few months. So, it’s time for a new look. I’ve done some tweaks to my resume, and plan a few more tweaks. I am also redesigning the website, and hopefully the blog.
Oh, the blog. I really need to work on here. At least one post a month, if not a week is my GOAL. Let’s see how close I get to that.
