During the times in which we currently live, attempting to lead a healthy, natural life could not be any more important. This is only one of the reasons I enjoyed working with Tiffany of the Nature Moms blog so much. An inspiring mother and an excellent writer, Tiffany sends the message I have just presented you with in an astounding manner. Her posts include product reviews of healthful products, thought-provoking anecdotes from her personal life, organic recipes, and so much more.

Tiffany requested a revamp of her old design wishing to use a natural green and orange theme to compliment a unique header graphic. We provided her with just that so that she could present herself in a more professional manner to the thousands of readers that browse her blog everyday. 

I wonder why my post titles have had so much to do with the current state of the season lately. Either way, Happy Spring!

It’s an exciting time here at Blog What? Design! We are currently taking on new projects for the May - July season. If you are interested in receiving a quote for your project, please contact us. However, please note that we will not be able to complete your project before this time period.

Additionally, our starting prices have gone up from $700 to approximately $1200 per project. Business has been competitive and we would like to provide our clients with the best service possible.

One final note: I have been experiencing an infinite number of problems with my e-mail within that last two months thanks to my transfer over to Gmail. If you have not received a reply, please e-mail me at your convenience.

SO! There’s been quite a bit going on this side of the Hudson lately! I feel like I owe an explanation for the lack of activity. Maybe not, but here’s my life within the past few months anyways:

• Ahmadinjad came to Columbia University amidst great controversy. I had a few hearty political debates with around three cameras in my face at all times (as did every other student that day). Check out some interesting photos from the event.


• I got through my first semester of college! Woohoo! And no. Unless we’re Facebook friends, there are no “interesting photos” so see from that.


• I have reaffirmed my belief that New York City is the best city in the entire world and that every undergraduate who isn’t attending college here is seriously missing out.


• I interned for two months at College Humor as a web developer—owned by Connected Ventures. I subsequently learned that working for free is not cool.


• I became online editor at The Columbia Daily Spectator. Since the beginning of the semester I have launched an entirely new blog network—entitled SpecBlogs—completed many upgrades for the publishing company’s websites, and have many big plans in place! (Including some super awesome web applications never before seen by any other College Daily… no Harvard… not even your ”Crimson” will be putting out stuff as cool as us.


• I hatched up a brand new business plan… which involves fashion and websites; these are very obviously two things I truly enjoy. More on this possibly soon…


• I bought a black fedora and I wear it everywhere.


• … because I have finally started to take on new projects at Blog What? Design and will hopefully be blogging quite a bit more after the semester settles in.

And life couldn’t be happier Anyways, that’s it for now! 

The Twirlin’ project was introduced to Blog What? through our previous client, Tyrone. We knew that Tyrone was always a pleasure to work with, so we got started on this project right away.

Twirlin’ is “a derivative of stepping or step-dancing originated from the Historically African American Fraternity’s culture of organizational boast worthy song and dance. The history of this art form dates back to the middle decades of the 20th century Anno Domini. While there are many organizations that use cane props in stepping routines, there are four organization that have emerged most well know in the phenomenon [Kappa Alpha Psi, Phi Beta Sigma, Sigma Gamma Rho, and Zeta Phi Beta].” [Wikipedia]

To demonstrate this passionate urban sort of dance, Tyrone and his client decided to go ahead with a design that was grungy and filled bright color on a black background. The final product is Twirlin.info. The logo you’ll see was designed by an independent artist, and we incorporated it into the best places.

Twirlin’ features a blog section with various videos and reports, a history of the style, a “how to” page, more current information on the dance, and finally a page with access to buy merchandise and contact the webmasters.
Twirlin’ is currently still in its production stage.. but check back soon to see new information up on the site.

We’re finally back after some God-awful downtime within the past few days due to some ridiculous name server issues with a new domain company. The lesson? Never switch away from companies that may charge a bit more, but are simply the best and most professional around.

Thank you for your patience!
