New Blogger Layouts are AWESOME

Whew! I was worried about what I was going to blog today. It's already 4pm and I haven't a blogged a word! I know you all are getting ansey, looking at your clock or your RSS feed wondering where I am.

"What is he doing? It's not like he has a business to run or kids to take care of..." 

Well, I am saving my post about bad words for a day other than the day after the epic birthday blog so today's post will hafta be just a little bit nerdy and techy. I was strolling through Google + trying to gather some inspiration when I saw Blogger Buzz's Blog had announced new layouts for Blogger!  Now remember, I've been using this blogging system for years (more than 5!) and this change is super exciting. I think it's a slow way to merge into Google+!

There are 7 new ways YOU can view my blog. Some are more confusing that others, some you wont see as many photos at first, but they can all be customized by you, the reader! Super sweet! I'll keep it like this, but let me know what you think. Which view do you like best? Or do you like it the old traditional way? Personally I like Mosiac. Magazine is cool too and so is Flip Card but Mosiac is just niiiiiice.

Either way, hope you're having a great week and an awesome day!

Talk soon,

Where I Am - On The Web

The internet is one big bad tangeled web.  I've been contributing to that digital mess of mass information confusion highway since the late 90's.  Today, with my over zealous creative brain coming up with so many ideas and having so many different platforms to chose from, I've found myself on every other corner of the internet.  So, consider this a little map of my art on the world wide web.


www.blackwellphoto.com 
First, and foremost - the reason I always say I'm always on the internet.  Being a stay at home dad, I do most of our work via the web.  E-mails, video conferences, and social networking all make up my day as well as taking care of a 1 year old woman.  So Blackwell Photography's website is the #1 place to find me online.  It is the core of internet presence ... the reason I'm even here, blogging!

Blackwell Photography's webpage is an idea Stacey and I conceptualized one day in the park.  It's a combination of our work.  The Trinity of websites, as I like to call it.  Her portfolio can be found at stacey.blackwellphoto.com, where as mine can be found at marc.blackwellphoto.com.  Our wedding page is it's own seperate site located at weddings.blackwellphoto.com.  That leads to the other subpages, blog.blackwellphoto.com & photos.blackwellphoto.com, where you can view galleries and purchase downloads and/or prints.

Leading into the "social networking sites" in a minute, but still sticking to business.  You can find Blackwell Photography on Facebook by clicking that link.  Twitter, Yelp, Myspace, Tumblr, too.

My personal Facebook site is dedicated to blogs I post here, random status updates, and also a place to share news/blogs/photos/& stuff.B.  It's an overall gathering place for your MB fill.  If you're a Lucas Grabeel fan, or a Drew Seeley fan - you aint gettin' through to this one unless you're super cool.  Haha!

My Twitter page is more laxed and I like to have more followers.  The more the merrier - for some reason...  It's a little more raunchy and fun.  I still promote Blackwell Photography through it, but now with the new BP Twitter, it'll more be a home for letting you know I posted a picture of Zoe somewhere.

My Twitpic is a photo site dedicated to my every day blog kinda pictures. Photos of my hot wife and I going out on dates, to shots of me on a movie set.  Whateva.

My tumblr is a place to post iPhone pics.  Anyone with an iPhone needs 1 dedicated place to upload those pictures to for years.  It's the only way to create a good archive.  And after many attempts and many different photo sharing sites, I've grown to like tumblr for my iPhone viewing needs.

Of course, this blog at Blogger is an old journal of written madness.  It dates back to 2006, so I'll keep it around for a while even if I don't post to it on any regular schedule whatsoever.
