Design By Blake is back
Welcome to Designbyblake.com, online home to Dan Blake, professional web designer. Currently I work full-time for a large printing company as an in house web designer.
The thing is, the term web designer is rather generic. I work on a team of 7 "web designers" each one of us with different strengths and weaknesses. My biggest weakness, design or rather visual design. My biggest strength is code, all kinds of code, XHTML, CSS, Javascript, Action Script, PHP and Ruby on Rails.
I'm just a big code geek and while I don't claim to be an expert in all of these scripts/languages I'm pretty good in all of them. Better in some than others but good in them all.
XHTML, CSS, Javascript, Action Script, PHP and Ruby on Rails
I know that may sound somewhat egotistical but I like to think of it as being confident. Anyhow that really brings us back to the point of this blog and the title, "Design By Blake is back."
I had started this blog a few years ago. Somewhere along the way it lost its way and I lost my desire to write. So it sat dormant for a little over a year. I recently decided to restart the blog. I deleted the old posts and thought I would start fresh.
Future posts for this blog will focus on web design, creating websites and code. The posts will just be my point of view and hopefully you'll learn something you don't know or better yet you can comment and teach me a thing or two.
I like the new look, nice photography too.

Thanks, the photo was taken with my nice new toy the Nikon D-80. I took this self portrait in on of the mirror balls in the ceiling of my office. Notice the rows and rows of gray cubes and gray desks. It is very office space.
