well I have kinda neglected this blog for a couple weeks or so! Sorry….

I have a few good excuses! One I kinda fell off the blogging sphere, as in lost the urge to write anything. Two I have been busy trying to run a photography business and drum up some new clientele. Good news its doing pretty well! Three My brothers dog spilled a glass of water on my laptop!!! I could have killed him. Luckily once it dried out it worked just fine… But not before I had already replaced it with a even more awesome Laptop.

So you see Its been a crazy crazy time of the year. I have several weddings to shoot this summer along with a few Bellies and babies shoots. I love making soon to be moms feel like models for a day. To see there faces when the get the photos back is rewarding enough.

So My apologies to those who read this blog as I will be on and off of the blog though out the summer as it is a busy time fore me!

Oh and I figured out what was wrong with the featured posts here on this site. It happend to be the links that where directed to the photos for the fetured posts where pointed to the wrng flickr link. In order to fix it with in wordpress I had to go to the advanced feature/tab in the photo info and pull the link from that tab instead of the Edit Image tab. Once i updated those links everything was back and running like it should!

Today between 7:30pm and 8pm I had a run in with James, License plate 20022, from Pacific towing in Hillsboro Oregon on my street Bronte way Hillsboro Oregon. I was pulling in the street and turning around to drop off my son who is 4 yrs old. I was not parked I was idle. I know for a fact there is no way he could have been called by someone to have me towed for being parked there as i had just pulled in and turned around was not parked. He dropped his towing gear pulled up and blocked me in the street and threatened to tow me while me and my 4yr. son was in the car with the car running the whole time. He also almost ran over my brother, as he got back in his truck and refused to give us any of his information when we asked for it.

I am filing a complaint with the Hillsboro police , my HOA  and the company in which he works for the BBB and The mayor of Hillsboro Oregon, Plus KATU News Investagators.  What he did was highly illegal “predatory towing” which is against the federal law.  I was threaded while my and my 4 yr old in the vehicle. His words where ‘I will tow you even if you are in the car’ that is a threat to kidnap, not to mention slander and harassment. He refused to give us any information, what so ever when we asked for it. My brother tried to retrieve the information while almost getting run over by the guy. He also threatened to report me to the HOA as he took my number off my plaquer for my car window.  I am reporting him to everyone I know to as what he did was illegal, I did nothing illegal all I did was turn around on the street I live on and drop off my son.  I was not even parked there.

Thank you for listening to my complaint on a predator towing company. I needed to get this off my chest! I just hope he and the company learns there lesson from treatin people badly with my complaint. I am not one to take threats to me or my faimly with out a fight.

Last night I did some research and found a twitter background I liked some what. I then took it apart in Photoshop CS3 and reconstructed my own. http://twitter.com/thedigipix It is amazing what you can learn while taking apart other templates. That is how I taught my self how to use wordpress themes. I am self tough with basic PHP html and Photoshop editing.

If you would like a updated Twitter page I would be happy to help you out with a customized background for $25. Just shoot me an email michelle (at) Thedigipix.com or comment on this post and I will contact you with more details.

Are you in the market for new web hosting? I know I am. As I currently use what is called Yahoo! Small biz web hosting. The only reason I still use them is because I have yet to really look for another web host.

I recently came across this site whom provides reviews and what not on different hosting companies webhostingrating.com. This may be what I need to get my butt in gear for finding a new web host provider. I really don’t want to pay as much as Yahoo! charges for the little customizations it allows and doesn’t allow with a httaccess file and wordpress. It really is a pain in the ass when you are trying to make a business website look professional. This file is a essential in helping your links function and look proper. With out access to it you will not be able to display pretty permalinks you’ll end up with a default like this ‘http://brokenperfection.com/blog/?p=123′ instead of ‘http://brokenperfection.com/blog/nameofpost’.

So if you are looking to use wordpress and want permalinks to display names instead of characters and numbers I suggest you look for a web host that does as Yahoo! does not allow access to it. It becomes a big pain in the Arse if nyou know what I mean.

You apply for a job thinking its one company and walk into the interview to find tables lined with knives and that its not even the name of the company you applied for online. I decided to stick around to see what kind of people would use another company name to lure people into a office for an interview. Well let me tell you the chick who was doing the interview was not a happy person. she was stern and um had a very Bitchy vibe coming from her. Not someone who you’d want to work with.

I asked her why when I applied they where called another company and she just said I have no idea I’m sorry for the mix up. She knew what happened and didn’t bother to even ask what and where the link was that i applied at. You would think one would ask and fix that. There where several people there for the interview sad to say I was the only one who walk out of the office.

people are so desperate now for jobs they will put up with anything. I on the other had will not work for a company who lies to me the first 5 mins and greats me in the manner I was for the interview. Name of the company was Vector!
