Manatee Web Site and MySpace Page Update

I just published new web site and MySpace page updates for Manatee. Their previous web site was based off of their first, self-titled album. It's been almost a year since the album came out, so it was time to update everything while they continue to write, record and play gigs.

Web Site: http://www.manateetheband.com
MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/teammanatee

If you're going to SXSW this year, Manatee should be there. Stop by and check them out.

Custom Tattoos By Jesse Del Rio

I spent the early part of the afternoon doing some preliminary testing before I set out on the design stage for my friend and tattoo artist Jesse Del Rio.  I am going to be using Squarespace again as a platform for both the blog and as a CMS to run everything and I wanted to make sure it would be flexible enough to provide the design features I wanted to incorporate for Jesse... otherwise I was going to just code a static site.  The new site will give Jesse the ability to put fresh content on his site via a blog (something he does not currently have), and as well as a CMS that will allow him to keep content updated on his own, including galleries of his current tattoo, painting and flash artwork.

To see some of Jesse's work, please visit his current web site at www.tatsbyj.com.  The painting shown here is one of his newest pieces in a collection he is working on, which will be my basis for his overall site design.

Squarespace iPhone App

I'm posting this blog entry from the new Squarespace iPhone App. It's pretty impressive and everything you would expect from an app that's been the better part of a year in the making. The app is basicly a highly streamlined version of the Squarespace control panel and still keeps the same intuitive Squarespace feel.

The app includes a section to post your blog entries directly from the road, the air or wherever else you happen to be... Including images. There is also a section to manage previous blog posts, check out site statistics and for the webmasters oi there, even enter other Squarespace sites you manage.

In all, great work. Thanks Squarespace team. I'm looking forward to seeing your social network link release.
