JazzPromoServices.com Redesign

Yesterday saw the launch of my latest project: a redesign of JazzPromoServices.com. This site was already built using WordPress but needed some reworking to best take advantage of the CMS functions of WP. It served as a good opportunity to make use of the new Custom Post Types functions of WordPress 3.0 – they came in handy for organizing the display of an extensive Client Project database. Having now worked a couple of sites in WP3.0 I must say how impressed with the improvements I am.

I should mention that the visual design is an adaptation of a stock template – the majority of my work was in the backend of the site.

It’s much fun doing all these projects for JazzCorner.com. The next one is already in the frame – more about it in due course….

Since earlier today, I’ve spent a little time working on the redesign and, although it’s not quite complete, I’m comfortable to live with it so far. Please pardon my dust while I finish up over the next few days….

I find myself with some spare time this afternoon so I’m finally going to try and finish up a couple of personal projects – starting with the redesign of this blog. Apologies if things get screwy around here….

Unlocking iPhone iOS4 – already!

It’s now a little more than 11 hours since iOS4 – the new iPhone firmware – was released. I’m pleased to say that I finished upgrading, re-jail breaking and re-unlocking my iPhone 3G, a couple of hours ago. A huge vote of thanks to the iPhone Dev Team for figuring it out so quickly! Not only does the Jailbreak work, but it also permits a couple of features supposed to only be available on the iPhone 3GS and 4; namely Homescreen wallpaper and, more importantly, Multitasking! Very cool!

I used the latest beta of Redsn0w (0.9.5b3) to jailbreak my iPhone and it worked like a charm. I simply upgraded to iOS4 in iTunes and ran Redsn0w. I was upgrading from a Pwned 3.1.3FW stuck at the 04.26.08 baseband. Once Jailbroken, I had to run Cydia a few times to get it to update itself but that wasn’t a huge headache at all.

Fave features so far: Folders are pretty handy but the unified Inbox in Mail is just what I’ve been waiting for. At last!

A little post by email test….

Just checking that this works, as before, in WordPress 3.0 – also interested to see if Twitter Tools picks it up too. Normal lack of service will resume shortly!!
