My lat­est client project is com­plete. Jay Lake, a SF/F author pub­lished by Tor Books, and win­ner of the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Author approached me with a desire to have a per­sonal web­site that would be easy to main­tain, incor­po­rate his pod­cast, and allow him to cross­post blog con­tent to his LiveJournal. For a design, Jay wanted some­thing with a decayed indus­trial feel, imi­tat­ing some of his pho­tog­ra­phy and invok­ing the feel of some of his fiction.

This is a stan­dard WordPress set up with about a dozen var­i­ous plu­g­ins installed from Latest Comments to pod­cast­ing enclo­sures. No real prob­lems pre­sented them­selves in its con­struc­tion. Jay was a delight to work with and the site went very smoothly. These are the kinds of sites that I love to make.
