Tutorial: Installing Bugzilla on Fedora 11 & CentOS 5
Sunday, July 25th, 2010
So a buddy of mine (Charlie Glisan) was having issues installing Bugzilla on Fedora 11, and CentOS 5 a while back, and decided after hours of strife, and finally getting the software up and running, that he would write detailed instructions on how to do so. He doesn’t have a blog himself, and thought that it might be helpful to some others out there that are trying to accomplish the same goal. So, he asked if I would like to post the instructions on my blog. (more…)

Review: VirtualHostX 2.0
Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Now I am not a software reviewer by any stretch of the imagination, but I still feel the need every now and then, when I run across something I feel is useful, to sing it’s praises, or at least describe why I feel it is useful.

Building A Better robots.txt For A WordPress Blog
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
So I have been designing websites for quite a while now. I realize the importance of a robots.txt file, and the implications it holds for search engine optimization (SEO) and preventing duplicate content. However, for some reason, I have never bothered looking into building a better robots.txt file for my personal blog/WordPress powered portfolio. Weird, right? Honestly, what made me realize I needed to do something better was Google’s Webmaster tools, which I started using since re-launching my website this month. After looking through a few weeks of data in my account, I quickly realized that I would be running into duplicate content issues at the very least. So, I started re-searching best practices for writing robots.txt files for WordPress installations. (more…)

Re-design and re-launch
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
So for the last 6 years or so, my website/portfolio/blog has been hosted under the domain mydesigncouldbeatupyourdesign.com. I really liked the domain name, but as you can imagine, I had some problems communicating it to others verbally. So, after some thought and some re-designing, I have re-launched under the domain kevin-deleon.com
The site is a lot more streamlined, and in my opinion quite a bit easier on the eyes. Let me know what you think, and if there is anything that you feel could be changed for the better, shoot me an email, or leave me a comment (who knows…I may just use your idea).

All-Spec Industries Re-design
Friday, December 5th, 2008
I have been working for a company based in Wilmington, NC, All-Spec Industries, and my goal for last 3 months has been to completely re-design the e-commerce website.
It has been a huge undertaking, and with the help of another developer, we are actually nearing the finish line.
I plan on writing a few blog posts discussing the ups and downs of the process, along with screenshots of the new and old sites.
Keep your fingers crossed!
