I set out an hour ago to try to fix a fading problem someone reported. Basically, what I have on my site is a bunch of PNGs, and if they are not clickable, then I have them set to 30% opacity. This works fine in every other browser, and I even had the IE code in place to fix the transparency of these PNGs.

I didn't find a lot of recent information, but it seems that IE8, without compatibility mode turned on, doesn't render opacity. Ugg. So after an hour of searching for a hack, which I hate using, or some sort of answer. Nada.

So here is what I decided to do:

It's about time that I start posting stuff to my blog. Once I finish up the last of my projects, I am going to take a much needed break from freelancing. At that point, I think I may start writing. But in the meantime, I'll continue to try to post stuff to this site.

Today I'll talk briefly about Robo.to. Robo.to is a social networking site that gives you a video profile where you can update several social media sites at once, including Twitter, Flickr, Facebook and more. Currently, Robo.to is by invite only, but you can still request an account on their site.

I have officially switched hosting companies now. Our previous company, which will go nameless to protect the guilty, had a real problem with understanding that I may know a thing or two about websites and how they are supposed to work.

In any event, I am glad to announce that everything is running 100% smoother now that I am set up on this new server, which means that you may be seeing a lot more from me now that I don't have to worry about why my site is taking 2 minutes to load.

Are you ready to turn your business ideas into an online reality? Do you need quick changes to your existing website or a complete overhaul? Do you need a logo for your business, or an online inventory tracking system?

I know that there isn't much to this site right now, but I think that I am going to change the format from a small business front, to my personal and creative blog. Stay tuned for more to come.
