PSD to XHTML slicer for Your design. I start a Freelance work.

…. or in other words : I’ll customize Your WordPress as freelancer or outsource.

Visit http://MediaBox.lv for more information. Place where I’m starting my freelance career.

Just wanted to say, that from last Friday I’m starting to work as freelancer on customizing WordPress (WP) and WordPress MU (WPMU). Basically it means that I’ll do (almost) everything what related to work with WP:

  • WP install on server and configuration,
  • Custumize Your WordPress,
  • (X)HTML slicing work for WordPress and e-mail templates,
  • Turning WordPress into Content management system (CMS).

I decide that after 3 years of simple cutting PSD to HTML for e-mail templates (HTML slicing), I could do same with (almost) any web design – turning PSD to valid XHTML and CSS. Almost all of my friends know my passion to Internet. After some time they asked me to help with setting up or simple fix some web pages. I already found help team ( or backup), not only in Latvia, but in Lithuania too. … And already working on two projects :)

Until now it was just a hobby and probably will stay some time…

This was just small announcement. Let’s look how will it flow… If You are interested in cooperation, look for contacts on Umbrovskis.com. (coming soon)

PS. just to make clear – I’m not web-designer, just PSD to XHTML slicer :)

How Google made me present!

Some months ago, when Google transferred all feeds from feedproxy.google.com to feeds2.feedburner.com, they changed RSS and atom feed address too. During that process I choose my feed address as refreshing, but there were also some Israel’s web page with same name on old feedburner’s service (feeds.feedburner.com). So during these changes, Google everything messed up. And some of my RSS/email readers got news in ivrit.

Here is my present from Google

Hello,

First of all, thank you for using FeedBurner and AdSense for feeds. We really appreciate every minute you spend using our services.

We also know you’ve come to depend on us to deliver your feed reliably without ever requiring you to change anything (unless you want to). Unfortunately, due some poor planning on Google’s part since you created your new feed, http://feeds2.feedburner.com/refreshing, we have been forced to change its address to http://feeds2.feedburner.com/refreshing2.

WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?
We have worked hard to ensure that any feed that already exists on feeds.feedburner.com cannot be created in the new Google-hosted feeds environment, feeds2.feedburner.com. However, a few feeds, including your own, did end up with the same address on both sides. We’ve used an automatic conflict-resolution system to determine which feed’s address to change, and the choice ended up being this feed.

(…)*

So I was waiting, waiting, … nothing for some 3 months. Only yesterday I’ve got package from US. At first I didn’t know about any package, which I should recive from US. As far as I could remember all my Internet shopping was inside Europe.

You can buy them on www.google-store.com

After all this my RSS address id feeds2.feedburner.com/refreshing2
