    Inter­ested in Pur­chas­ing Textlink Advertising

    Hi,
    I am inter­ested in pur­chas­ing per­ma­nent textlink adver­tis­ing at some spe­cific pages of your web site
    http://ember.stafa.us/
    Let me know if you are inter­ested so that we can dis­cuss it fur­ther. I can make a good offer to make it worth your time.
    Thanks

    Con­grats on smash­ing­magazine! It’s how I found this incred­i­ble site! Was won­der­ing how you added cbox to your side­bar? I’m using word­press as well, but don’t know where the cor­rect place is to paste the cbox code. Please help :)

    Thank you!

    Well it depends on your word­press theme. In my case, I placed my cbox code in my sidebar.php file.

    Im not really sure how is the struc­ture of you theme but Im guess­ing that your cbox code should be placed any­where inside your #sec­ondary div tags.

    Hi, Ember, you really inspired me with your pho­tog­ra­phy (project 365). You made me wanna take pho­tos as sharp as you so badly. Hope i can learn from you.

    Just won­der­ing, is it pos­si­ble to take pho­tos like that with nor­mal dig­i­tal camera?

    Hi Ember, I dis­cov­ered your site from the Smash­ing­magazine arti­cle. I’ve been work­ing on my first photo/personal blog for a long­time now. I chose to hand code (as opposed to using a theme) because I wanted some­thing truly orig­i­nal. You have lit­er­ally raised the bar HIGHER than I any site I’ve seen both in terms of design and qual­ity of pho­to­graphic con­tent! Now you have to tell me…where do you even begin when putting together some­thing as ele­gant and visu­ally inter­est­ing as this? What’s your typ­i­cal work­flow? I remem­ber see­ing sketches…but do you com­pose it in Pho­to­shop first then slice and dice for CSS?

      Wow I’m def­i­nitely not all that. ;) But thanks, Umang.

      Yes I usu­ally do rough sketches of how the lay­out would look like. Then I’d work on the design in Pho­to­shop. Once I’ve more or less final­ized the Pho­to­shop mock-up, I would — yes — slice, dice and code them into CSS and inte­grate them onto a Word­Press theme.

    Hi Ember

    Great pho­tog­ra­phy, just won­dered what effect you were putting across your pho­tos each time, noticed they have a high con­trast look about them with per­haps more yel­low cast across them, great look, gives them very strong and vibrant look. Oh and nice web­site dude!

    Cheers

      I don’t exactly have a one-click effect that I apply on all my pho­tos. I usu­ally edit on a photo-by-photo basis — what’s best for each shot. I use Adobe Light­room for all post-processing. I would sug­gest you to exper­i­ment with dif­fer­ent tech­niques when work­ing with your pho­tos. Thanks, by the way! =)

      Thank you, Cathy. =D If you’re refer­ring to the link to ‘ember.stafa.us’, it shouldn’t be load­ing as its domain have expired. No wor­ries though, that is just the URL to my old blog which has since been doing a 301 redi­rect to this domain. It was work­ing for awhile — I guess my friend finally decided not to renew his domain after all these years. Thanks for the heads up though!
