Grace with Paint on her hand
Today, Grace asked if she could start her own business.
“What would you do in your business?”
“I’d draw, paint & color pictures,” she announced. “And we could use the money to help the church buy a well for Haiti.”
How can I resist?
“And you can help me grow my business!” she said with a big grin.
OK… I’m all in. So we took a look at her existing GraceAnnJohnson.com website, and discovered it was badly out of date. WordPress hadn’t been upgraded for several years (probably since around the time of the last post). Thankfully the site hasn’t had the visibility to have attracted the hacks that many other older WordPress sites have suffered from.
So… here’s a fresh upgrade of WordPress to the slick new 3.3 “Sonny” release. And we grabbed a delightful new theme from the repository.
So Grace wanted to call the project “Picture Pencil.” And then she began to describe how it would look… so out came Photoshop and within about 15 minutes, the logo was created. A few quick modifications to the theme, and the logo is now installed.
So… we’ll have to figure out a process for selling her pictures — I’m not sure I want to go for a full-fledged shopping cart. Perhaps we’ll just grab some “Buy Now” buttons from PayPal. In any event… we’ll see where this project goes. Hopefully we’ll raise some money for the well in Haiti!
