Today, we launched a new web site for an author friend of mine, Charles Jones (I call him “Chip”). Chip is a former Richmond Times-Dispatch staff writer who paid his way to Iraq last June to research this book, entitled Red, White or Yellow? The Media & the Military at War in Iraq.

The site contains a video trailer about the book, which we posted on YouTube, and a slideshow of original photos that Jones took while in Iraq. The book can be pre-ordered from Amazon and will ship in September. Congrats Chip!

I’m proud to announce the launch of a new project that’s been nearly 8 months in the making (hey, client projects always come first). Recently, we launched a newly re-designed version of the Rick Whittington Consulting web site.

While there are a lot of new features”behind-the-scenes.” I wanted to share a couple that you’ll want to take note of.

• A more integrated, improved blog
  You can now see new blog posts in relevant places on the new site (outside of the blog). You can also sign up to have blog posts e-mailed to you (just look to the right and enter your e-mail address) — a great way to receive new content! If you use an RSS feed reader, you can add our new feed to your list — it’s at http://feeds.feedburner.com/WebSiteEffectivenessBlog. If social bookmarking is your thing, you can also help me promote things I write on the blog.
• An updated portfolio
  I’l be the first to tell you that it’s embarrassing that we hadn’t updated the portfolio in nearly 2 years. I’ve updated the portfolio with new projects to better showcase our design and development capabilities. View the portfolio now.

There are also a few other behind-the-scenes capabilities that allow us to serve content based on where you’re from and how you get here. We’ll be using that soon.
