Welcome to the official blog of Brandon Moeller. Right now, this blog is being used to demonstrate the new WordPress theme I created for Barefoot Drums of Houston … I will be installing this theme + WordPress on the organization’s server soon and this theme is activated so the organization can see what its future blog will look like once their new design is installed on their server.

I have begun to play around with FriendFeed and have added it to my Facebook page and most recently to this blog. Does anybody else use FriendFeed? I like how it allows all of my content that I place elsewhere to be placed within it, but I’m still not sure if this is good or bad. For instance, some content is really only for some eyes. If you’re my friend, and you’re internet savvy, then you’re likely connected to me on one of these social media networks. But FriendFeed allows me to broadcast my activity on these sites here on other pages … and I’m not sure if that’s what I want. Hmmm….
Thought I’d like to share, so please find below the two themes I have recently created and extensively modified to match two Web sites I designed.

Last night, I added a new plugin to my blog which allows users to share my posts across any imaginable social network or link posting service.
I originally stumbled upon the ShareThis service by avidly reading Wired.com, which uses it. I used it a few times to forward articles to that certain someone, you know, to further affirm my geekness 2.0. When I first saw the ShareThis interface, I thought: How much is too much? I mean, seriously: All of the latest and greatest Web services just seem to be small variations on the same four-pronged theme: Post content. Share it. Comment on what your friends are posting. Repeat.
Of course, the only problem with that idea is that, thanks to the outburst of all these nifty services, everyone does the same thing a different way. Usually, compatibility seems to be the last consideration.
With ShareThis’ more-is-never-enuff approach, though, at least none of my readers can claim they were left out.
