Today I switched the comments over on this blog from the WordPress 2.7 threaded comments to the comment system, IntenseDebate. If you haven’t heard of IntenseDebate, they were acquired a couple of months ago by Automattic (the company that owns WordPress.) I have been hesistant to switch my commenting over to a third party provider, such as Disqus, because I do not want to give up the “Google juice” from those comments living in my site. IntenseDebate has circumvented that issue and I have full confidence that this is now the way to go for WordPress commenting.

For some reason, doing a design for this site was harder than others I’ve worked on in the past. Maybe I was driving myself into paralysis by wanting it to be too perfect. But, what I eventually decided I needed to do was crank something out. I did just that the other night.
I have always had solid design sense and can navigate my way around Photoshop in a very competent fashion; however, I have had my nose buried in nothing but code for the past couple of years with very little opportunity to do any graphic design. So, I had to knock the dust off.
As I was working on a design for this site, I wanted to created something slightly edgy with lots of potential for change down the road. Since my goal with SeanASullivan.com is to write and share a variety of things related to my life, I felt it best to take that into account. I, myself, am a very dynamic person so I needed some colors and design sense to help convey that.

Welcome to www.SeanASullivan.com! For many years I have moved from domain to domain with various projects, and it’s time to settle in on a permanent home. I thought to myself, “What could be more permanent for a domain than my actual name?” Odds are that isn’t going to change anytime soon =)
Anyways, the purpose of this site is to serve as a centralized point on the web to find out all about me and the various projects I’m working on at any given time. In other words, it will be an aggregate site all about Sean A Sullivan. Here, I will pull content from other sites and various social networks so you can get the complete picture as you desire.
It may take some time before I get moving on this project as I’m really busy with work and other things, but stay tuned and we’ll get there in time. Also, be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed so you know when things are happening.
Until next time!
P.S. You can also get here by typing seansulli.com (wanted to stick with my full name for the formal domain).
