My name is Chris and this is my blog.
I’m a photographer, filmmaker, writer, web designer, inventor, and former FORD model.
Before and Above all of that – I am an Entrepreneur.
From a young age, I’ve known myself to have both an entrepreneurial spirit as well as an extremely short attention span, which I attribute to the variety of things I do and pursue in the present.
Here are some of my working websites:
- ChrisPics.com – Site for my photography business
- ChrisFlix.com – My filmmaking, directing, and video editing work
- AffordableActorHeadshots – Specifically actor headshots photography work
- Metrogrip.com – My original invention; a portable straphanger for subway commuting
The Internet has been a great interest of mine ever since the “ol’ days” of dial-up, when I first discovered the World Wide Web at the ripe old age of 15. (Gosh, 15 is ancient in children’s computer competence nowadays!)
By 16, I was making my own websites using the existing tools of the time; free web builders on FreeYellow.com, AltaVista, Geocities, etc, and then AOL’s site builder. Eventually I graduated to MSFrontpage then onto Dreamweaver, where I stayed put and happy until… the miracle of WordPress! (Ahh, where had you been all my life??)
My discovery of WordPress re-ignited my interests in web building, the interest that had been smothered and nearly killed by long hours lost creating roll-over buttons and trying to get menus & frames working right.
WordPress allows you to skip all those tedious design steps and give you a base template to work off or more accurately; a full-on ready-made site that is FREE and just waiting for your content to be published to.
I have 45 domain names (80% of which have been indefinitely “Under Construction,” but I’m working on it!! Really!!) and can now put a site up in less than a 24hrs if I really want to.
Look for this blog to include some basic WordPress and Web business tips and tools, plus topics on about being what I like to call a “Webpreneur.”
