Fun with Photoshop


So, I've been teaching myself this cool little program called Photoshop. Some of you have heard about it. Others may not have. It's a great little program that is power packed with cool features to allow a nerd like me to go NUTS! Anyway, this past month Lou and I went to the creek over Thanksgiving (wich I will post about our fun adventures there later). But, one of the pictures I've tweaked a little and wanted to share it with all of you. Enjoy, more pictures will follow. PS. My photshop skills are only getting better.

Back Country Adventure Tours

John and Liz in front of Castleton

Our Really good friends have decided to take the plunge.... The plunge into business that is. I'm super amped for them and want to write a little post about the opportunities that they can provide. Back-Country Adventure Tours is owned and Operated by John and Liz Johnson! Go my favorite sports team go! John is a very accomplished motorcycle racer, who consistently wins or finishes in the top three of each of his races. They've been great friends and are starting a touring/guiding business into the remote areas of Utah's Backcountry. Utah Back Country Adventure Tours has several tour options, either on motorcycle, on mountain bike, on foot, or on water, that cover terrain from Provo to Orderville, Lake Powell and canyoneering throughout any of Utah's Slot Canyons! Is there a better way to view scenic Utah than this!? Go John and Liz go! Pay their site a visit, and take a tour of the most beautiful terrain in all of Utah!!!

Back to My Roots


This post really is about Karma. It's still a sweet pic, but mainly, Karma. I've built a couple of websites, and now I am currently working on two more. It's like I can't get enough of them right now. So, back to the Karma. Because I understand a little about SEO and how Google ranks their crap, I'm posting a couple of links that have had some really helpful jit on them about Website design, HTML, CSS and the likes. So, here is the first website that I really began to use to help me learn about HTML and building the structure of my sites. It's HTML dog and you can find it by following this link.

HTML DOG


It's great because for beginners it takes you through step by step instructions on starting your website, and finishes with cascading style sheets to style your website. I loved it. I've since graduated to several books, and have loved it, but owe my Karma to the HTML Dog. I'll keep you posted with some of the links to my actual websites that I've built.

The next place on my list that I want to share my Karma with is a website called "a list apart". They have built a great website on design, content, planning, processes, and many more topics for building your website. I highly recommend visiting their site and subscribing to their RSS Feed. You can view their website by following the link below.

A list Apart


The last places for Karma that I want to mention is about SEO. They've got a ton of information that is really helpful when optimizing your site. It's SEO Book, and you can find them by following the link below.

Hello again...

I don't think anybody has looked at this blog in about 30 years, so, I thought I would begin publishing thoughts to myself... Alexis and I are married, nine months now! I can't believe how quickly the time flies. It's cliche but within the blink of an eye a year passes away. I love her to death, and we've had so many adventures these past few months. I can't list them all right now, but it has been wonderful. Keep looking us up, and I'll write another post here shortly. We love you all. Bye.
