I can’t believe it, but Ajaxxx.com hits a HUGE milestone today. Yup, the site is officially one year old as of today. I still remember when I posted that the site is finally up. Shoot, I still remember the months (and years) leading up the LAUNCH of the site, where I slaved to build everything. Between researching on Google, bothering my friends for help, and sacrificing all kinds of sleep, I put a great deal of work into the site.

It’s a huge accomplishment that’s resulted in some pretty big opportunities. I’m lucky and I’m blessed to have reached such a major moment.

And for those that’re curious about just how much work I put into the site, check out this link: How I Designed the new Ajaxxx.com

Thanks again to EVERYONE for their continued support and for checking the site. I appreciate it for real.

What’s up everyone? This is the third and final part of “How I Designed the new Ajaxxx.com.” Let’s recap, shall we?

In the first part, I talked about the planning that went into the site. I analyzed the old site from top to bottom, assessing the areas that needed improvement. In addition, I also made notes of the things I really liked about the old site and how I’d carry them over. In the second part, I went further. I got much more technical and talked about things like the page numbers, the tag cloud, and the social media elements; I also talked about things I chose not to use.

So now, in this third edition, I’m going to tie it all together. I’m going to show you what plugins I used and didn’t use (and why), some of the back-end things I did to make my life easier, and also some additional stuff about the planning. And of course, I’ll go into what I did to finalize it all.
