			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I, like every other web designer on the face of the planet, hate IE6. I hate how it doubles your design time simply because it does not work like it should. This does not mean I can stop designing for IE6. After all I assume the reason IE6 holds such a huge market share is that there are also many old windows operating systems out there that can not use IE7 or IE8. Maybe they are users at their jobs that are not allowed to upgrade their browsers and they really have no choice. So for my clients I do not feel like I have a choice, I am still going to design sites that are IE6 compatible.</p>
<p>But, when it comes to designing my site, that is a whole other story. I am sick of  IE6 being a hinderance on code and formatting when it comes to my own site. I do not think I will become so drastic as to block IE6 users from seeing my site (yet), but I am not going to spend the extra time to make it work either. I am taking astand against a craptastic browser. It does not work for me so why should I work for it. In the future if I do implement changes on my site that make it completely brocken on IE6 I may take the step of blocking IE6 users.</p>
<p>I know I have many IE6 visitors to my page but honestly it is time for you to upgrade. Here is a few links for you to follow to the browsers you need.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have become extremely lazy concerning my website as of late. I am hopping to change this over the next couple of weeks. As you can see I have reworked the layout of the site completely to be more portfolio friendly. I am still redoing images and adding portfolio posts of older work, but after that is done I have a ton of new work that I have done that will be added as well.</p>
<p>I also have decided that I am going to start posting on the blog again here as well. Many of my personal posts I have been doing at <a href="http://nitforpat.com" target="_blank">nitforpat.com</a>, but I would like to start posting again here because I do come across many different design related articles, projects, and pieces that I would like to catalog on the site. I have noticed on my analitics that I have been getting quite a few more visitors to the site than usual, so it is my hope I can keep the content fresh and give visitors a reason to keep coming back.</p>

<p>A project I have been working on for sometime now. I first built the site as a static HTML site, but recently have begun moving the site over to WordPress so taht the client can have more control over the content. The site includes all your typical features and even has an integrated event planning, invite, and RSVP system. The site can be seen here, <a href="http://nashvilleasce.org" target="_blank">nashvilleasce.org</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Sometime back, when I first was starting to theme the iphone and ipod touch, I created a theme of glyphs so that other artists could use them for there themes as a starting point. Some of the gyphs in that theme I was much happier with then others, not to mention it was missing some of the standard apps since the 2.0 software release for the iPhone. So this is my next go at it.</p>
<blockquote><p>Other artists are welcome to use these icons as they want, the only thing I ask is that you give me credit and link back to this post so that other artists and interested people can find the same tools.</p></blockquote>
<p>Also if need be I have these icons in there original vector format, just contact me through my <a href="http://gageparker.com/?page_id=57">contact page</a> and I can send them your way. To download the themes just click on the images.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">update:<br />
I have updated the themes with 40 additional icons each.<br />
