Things are in full swing and we have made some great progress on the wedding plans. April 13′th will be just around the corner!
Well those are the major items! Lot’s more little things to do. For more details on our wedding you can view our web site on the Knot.com
I have done a little house cleaning on the website and implemented the new K2 theme for Wordpress. Here are a few of the changes:
- It has some neat new Ajax functions that improve search and navigation.
- 3 column layout to get more information on the page.
- All the links are now search engine friendly and easy to read.
- Fast loading XHTML/CSS design
- Great widget interface for modifying things on the page
Let me know what you think!
I am on my “use it or lose it” vacation this week! At Home Depot your vacation time does not carry over so I had to start taking some. Looking forward to catching up on some house projects, doing some photography, relaxing, and maybe even writing some more posts!
This news certainly deserved a post! After almost 18 months we finally got our act together and set a wedding date. Crystal and I will be getting married on April 13th 2008 at “Flint Hill” in Norcross GA. We wanted a “Southern Mansion†style wedding and we are really excited about Flint Hill. It was exactly what we wanted: a good balance of history, modern ballroom, and beautiful gardens for an outside ceremony. Now I am busy planning all the details. 
I just realized that I did not write a single post in the month of April! Time to get back to finishing my foundations of personal finance and move onto some more topics.
Work has been crazy latley as we are in the home stretch now of getting ready to launch the new Homedepot.com site. I have ben working on this for over 18 months so I am looking forward to getting it done!
I don’t do a whole lot of traveling for my job and after the above trip I don’t understand how some people do it every week. Yikes!
The first stop on the tour last week was a visit to Usability Sciences in Dallas, TX for some usability testing on the new homedepot.com site we are getting ready to launch. Testing went well and it always amazes me the kind of feedback and insight you can get from a few users over a couple hours.
After Dallas, it was off to Salt Lake City for the Omniture client summit. I gave a presentation on site search and got to meet a lot of people that I work with at Omniture but had never met in person.
After the Omniture Summit, I stayed in Salt Lake for a few days and headed up to one of my favorite spots on the planet: Snowbird, UT. Since moving to Atlanta from Vermont I have not got out on my snowboard very much so it is always a treat to get some turns in! I was hoping for some deep snow but all I got was a lot of sunshine! It was the warmest conditions I have ever seen in Snowbird. It was 68 degrees at the base (8000 feet) on Saturday!!!! The whole mountain was like a giant slush puppie! Although I would have preferred it to be 10 degrees out, dumping snow, and blowing 20-30 at the top, it was still fun to get out and work on my tan.
I left Utah on Sunday night and headed back to Dallas for some more testing. We finished up on Tuesday night and headed back to Atlanta. Trucking the snowboarding gear with me to Dallas was no fun and I got some odd looks bringing the snowboard into the hotel but overall a very productive trip!
After reading lots of blogs over the past couple of years I have decided to start my own here at AndrewKnight.com. I have moved the pages about my consulting business over here.
I am still working on figuring out what topics I will talk about, but here are some of my first thoughts:
Ecommerce
This is my day job and what gets me up every morning. I love the industry and how it has fundamentally changed the way business is done around the world. The pace of change is incredible and the growth rates of internet businesses are far out pacing the off-line world. It is an exciting time to be in this business!
Personal Finance
Over the past couple years personal finance has become a topic I have become more interested as I have become to understand it. The more I know the more I want to learn. I hope to help share some of my learnings here.
Career Coaching
This topic has evolved as I have moved around in my career and learned a lot from some very bright people around me. Since I don’t have 20 years experience I will focus my thoughts on tips and tricks for those just starting out.
Technology
OK I admit it. I am a closet computer nerd. Every once in a while I will be having a conversation with someone and it will just come out. Watch out, it can catch you off guard
Marketing
Online marketing and Ecommerce go hand in hand. You can’t have one without the other. Look for this blog to highlight innovative marketing programs that online retailers are using.
Lots more coming!
Andrew
