As some of you may know already, I’m a web designer by day, artist by night and this site is primarily displaying and selling my artwork. Well, I thought it was about time that I have a proper portfolio site for my web and design work. So Rikcat Industries was hatched today. I’m using the name as sort of an umbrella for all my web experiments, tech and web thoughts, code samples, and design portfolio.
As for rikcat.com, well things around here won’t change much but I do want to give the design a facelift in the next couple of months. I would love to expand the artwork section and utilize the flickr API more to add functionality. That will have to wait, because I have to get cracking on some work for a bunch of upcoming shows.
Take care for now — Rik Catlow

Nice stuff Rik, it is nice to see you have a personal art space and a NOW a professional space for your web work. Nice going, it looks and functions great - I am working to get my professional place up now.

Very cool professional site. It’s something for me to think about as well…

Starting with the 2.1 version of Wordpress you can have the blog portion of your site on a different page by changing a setting in the admin. You can have a static homepage that is a Wordpress page, this enable Wordpress to be used like a traditional content management system.
Here is a in depth explanation.
