Believe me, I am a Web designer. The reason why this page looks so odd is because you're viewing it in a browser that doesn't support Cascading Style Sheet positioning. It doesn't work in particularly old browsers. However, if you scroll down, you'll find all my content. Don't let this site fool you, I've designed plenty of sites that work in older browsers, this was just my first step towards what is the future of Web design.

The Maneater

This is a mirror of two old issues using the design I created in 1998 for the site as online editor. Note that some links do not work (search, archives, about…) because the pages were not archived.

The Indianapolis Star

These are several of the pages I created while on my Dow Jones Online Editing Internship at The Indianapolis Star. The site used flat HTML pages, but I created several PHP tools to create repetitive blocks of code, like the state fair schedule.

This was set to be published after my Dow Jones online editing internship was over.

Home page designs

Version 1.0

This was the first home page I created. It went live in September or October of 1997. It was originally posted on my MU Web space when I was a freshman. I created it in a computer lab using Paint Shop Pro because I didn’t have a computer at the time.

Version 2.0

This was my second home page design. I had the vision of four sqaures forming a sqaure and decided to make the type resemble a periodic table. The inside design used more nested tables than I care to count — render time was horrible. But it was 1998 — tables and pixelclears ruled the day.
