Tonight the Living Room Diaries, hosted by Kirk Green, debuts at the Van Dyke Cafe. They are back, bigger and better than ever! What started out as an internet program showcasing local talent, has now burst onto cable scene. LRD is now part of the TelAmerica Media family, Comcast Channel 88. How cool is that?!!
I re-developed their website using WordPress as the framework and totally customizing the design and functionality of a wp theme. Features include featured topics presented as a slideshow on the top of the page, integration with the Facebook “Like” feature for fans to share site content on their Facebook profiles and a flash video player.
So about this debut, there will be much merriment.
I will be there…oh yes I will. Will you?

Optional before you publish:
Categories – These are like navigational links for your blog to directly link you to posts of the same topic. For example, a blog about a tour to Texas with photos may have categories such as “Travel” “Photos” “Live Shows”
Tags – Entering tags for your posts is a great SEO tool. With tags, you can make mention of every single topic, name or any other words that directly relates to your blog. For example, this same blog about a tour to Texas may have tags that include very particular details about the blog like places visited, people of mention, etc such as “travel, roadtrip, flights, tour, photos, Texas, Dallas, El Paso, House of Blues, Bob Donalds, Evan Paul”
Trackbacks – If you copy a quote from another blog, enter the direct link to that blog here. For one, it gives them credit for originally writing the piece, and for two, a link back to your blog will appear to their readers, which gives you exposure.
Discussion – Check or uncheck if you would like to allow/disallow commenting or trackbacks on your post.
