EnergyLink, Limited is a company located in Wellington, New Zealand. I’m not quite sure how they found me, but this was a great team of people to work with. Now, I did not do the design for this site. In fact, Scott over at usable! handled the design for the site, but he needed someone to “WordPress it out.” He knew what he wanted, but he wasn’t quite sure how to pull it off - so he found me.
Andrew needed a website.
Actually, Andrew needs to write. He’d done blogging before, but it was on a more personal level. His secret, though, was his desire to write fictional stories - to get these tales out of his head. However, Andrew - by trade - is not a writer. It’s his own personal passion, and although being published is not his focus, he’s not putting the idea aside.
He knows his limitations, and wanted something clean and simple that would focus solely on his writing, and honing the craft.
He wanted a touch of personality to it, but nothing that would detract from the main object: the words, and stories he wants to create with them. He only needed a slight bit of functionality: to have reliable word counting. Other plugins he had tried were inaccurate, and since he wants to possibly become published (and actively participates in many set exercises for practice), an accurate word count was necessary, so a custom function was written for him that counted only the words he wanted to count, and ignored all else.

Cold pizza for breakfast and Ramen Noodle Soup for dinner?) Their original designer, unfortunately, couldn’t keep them on as a client anymore, so in stepped Brass Blogs.
This site is part of MTV University, an online resource for college students. Their part of the MTV world consists of getting questions from peers on - you guessed it - how to say something. It’s sort of an updated “Dear Abby” with a twist. Since it’s run by the film students of UCLA, the submissions, and responses sent in by other students, are in video format.
