I learned some tricks in Photoshop, but I am not as good as Stein Bagger, who made his Ph.d. diploma in Photoshop.
Well my point is: I had 435 online guests on my website yesterday. And I have not been manipulating wth the number of guests in Photoshop in the picture below.

During the last year or so the wave of web 2.0 has been very dominating on the internet. Knowledge sharing on various platforms is the keyword. And since I want so share my "knowledge" I also integrated a way to share and interact my blog post on ornholt.dk with other users.
To do so I integrated a small javascript code on my website developed by a company named AddThis. You have probably seen this feature before. Nevertheless I find the method very cool.

In 2006 I created a website for my brother, because he was doing okay in the fashion business as a model. And he is actually still doing okay. Today I updated his website with new pictures.

The Danish brand, strategy and design consultancy Kontrapunkt - has just launched their new website. I like it at lot compared to their old one. The new website has a nice feel and the style is kept in typical Kontrapunkt style: White, grey and black colors and a simple and not to flashy look.
Check the new website out here: wwww.kontrapunkt.com and the pictures below.

I do have a conflict of interest! On one hand I love the Internet for being what it is (no reason to mention all the things the internet has changed - in a positive way). Having finished what I would call my education on paper (A Msc. in economics & marketing) I am to make a choice about which direction my forthcoming career (basically I just need a job really:)) is going to point. No doubt I am going to put all my energy and time in a job where online brand building...bla...bla...something has to be a part of my job description. But but:
I hate banner advertising. An example from the real world. The danish magazine Cover is a good example. They had a really nice website from the beginning. Suddenly a lot of people visit this website. And suddenly the website is full of internet banners/advertising. And I simply hate that. Irritating and frustrating (and boring) web banners all over the place.

The answer to that question depend on many things. Nevertheless I have been part/involved in designing and programming a CMS based blog for Mette Dixen and her Cand.mag friend Nina. The blog is named indimellem.dk and deal with ( I call it Cand.Mag stuff) fashion, movies, literature, architecture, design, culture, Copenhagen etc (Indimellem is "sometimes" in english).

As I blogged about before I have created an iPhone optimized edition of ornholt.dk. I made this iPhone optimized website because I got myself an iPhone 3G 16 GB in spring 2009.
On my iPhone I surfed around on iPhone optimized websites and I thought I would create an edition of ornholt.dk in an iPhone optimized version.
