    New Fall 2010 Portfolio

    Posted in: Uncategorized

    The past decade I’ve been constantly redesigning a personal digital space to house my portfolio, thoughts, and social touchpoints. So I finally changed my web host to reliable Media Temple, and developed a redesign to integrate my photography and design into my new portfolio/blog hybrid: http://kylewiebalk.com.

    My collection of work ranges from photography, original content creation, video production consulting, digital marketing projects leveraging social media, and innovative ideas to propel our Internet/media/Web 3.0 revolution. I also love creativity, travel, architecture, and craft beer.

    If you enjoy any of the content here, please share or comment. If you are interested in working with me, please fill out the contact page here and I’ll get in touch with you.

    Start a New Blog Using WordPress in 6 Simple Steps

    Posted in: web design

    After deciding to breathe new life into my several-years-old HTML portfolio website, I changed to a better host and installed WordPress after hearing so many people raving about it.  After a little experimentation, I realized how powerful the engine really is.  I use the technology to power my blog, as well as my portfolio website (less uncommonly used just as a CMS).  It can be customized however you want it to look–there are so many great examples of this (see below).
