Hey, you made it! As long as you’re here, you may as well have a look around. Check out the Blog/Articles to see what I’ve been up to lately, or snoop around below if you’re looking for something specific.
For the last 2 or 3 years my focus has been user interface design for iOS mobile devices and web development. My work has evolved from print-based promotion & marketing design into design for web and mobile, which is something that I really enjoy. Oh, I’m still an art director and continue to design marketing media when it comes my way, but mobile UI design is what gets me up in the morning. Hop over to my Portfolio for a look at some iOS app I’ve worked on recently. And other stuff…

Wanted: WordPress Plugin for managing free downloadable files

Posted on April 8, 2012 by holter

This article is about WordPress plugins for managing downloadable content such as .zip files, pdf files, .psd files, etc., on a WordPress site. The plugins I’ve explored so far are Download-Manager, Download Monitor, and Marketpress. Download Monitor, and Marketpress is a shopping cart plugin but the first two are plugins developed specifically for managing downloadable content. They all have their strengths and weaknesses but none worked for my particular situation.

The Problem.

I have a network of WordPress sites running on a WP Multisite network. My problem is that I want to give away art and graphics for free on one of my network websites but managing the free content is proving to be really difficult.
