Resume:   
Portfolio of Michael Hargis

hargism.com

I developed this site using XHTML, CSS, and the Dreamweaver coding environment. I created the graphics in Photoshop CS2. It is just site about myself and a few things I have done. It was a chance to gain more knowledge using CSS and a place where people can see some of my work. View it: http://hargism.com

hargism.com blog theme

I also designed a WordPress blog theme for hargims.com. It was also made using XHTML, CSS, and the Dreamweaver coding environment. It is a WordPress theme that I plan on using for a future blog about web design. I had to add a view new PHP functions to get the 'portfolio' page to work the way I wanted. It was made as a place to store a portfolio so people can view some of the work I have done. All the graphics were done by me in either Photoshop or Illustrator. View it: hargism.com blog theme

cattle-battle.com

I originally did the Cattle Battle website in Flash 8, but it just wasn't working for me. I didn't like the layout and the ease of usability, so I decided to redo the site using CSS and XHTML. I made most of the graphics in Illustrator and some in Photoshop. I also used JavaScript to add a small slideshow of the weapons used in Cattle Battle. The site was created for my group's final project game at Full Sail. View it: Cattle Battle Website

get-random.com

get-random.com was my first experiment with blogging software. I installed WordPress and created the theme using CSS, Photoshop, and Illustrator. It started out as a blog about gaming, entertainment, and technology and had a completly different theme. I decided to change the topic to something I knew was very popular. I did keyword research and found two topics that get well over 1 million searches a month. So, I learned about keywords, long tail keywords, and did a lot of research on SEO(search engine optimization). My site stats have increased greatly compared to the technology based blog I started with. This has also been my first dabble into advertising by adding Google AdSense ads on the site.
