1×52, Week 14: VisualizeFit.com

This week, I set up just a basic WordPress site (just one page) with a domain name to see how much interest there might be in a project I’m considering.

The project is simple: a flipbook of before & after photos of real people who have lost weight, along with their stories.

Want to help with the project? I’m looking for stories and photographs! Please email me at katie@yellowrubberball.com if interested. Thanks! :)

1×52, Week 8: Is It A Snack?

Week 8 is ridiculous: isitasnack.com. I was LITERALLY in a giant fit of giggles while coding up most of this, it was so much fun – Andy can attest. At the time, I was really into alien theories, and was envisioning a little green man looking questioningly at aluminum foil and wondering if it was…

1 x 52 Week 4: Jambx, Twitter for Song Lyrics

In Week 4 of the 1×52 project, I built a lyrics sharer – something like Twitter, for song lyrics. I always want to quote lyrics when I’m rocking out to them – but don’t want to spam Twitter or Facebook with it. Check it out!
