Per usual below is a list of some changes I've made to the site:
1. I no longer have each section of the site running in a separate WordPress Blog. Thanks to Custom Post Types {LINK REMOVED} I was finally able to merge it all into one database rather than having to re-create each item - post by post - thanks to the igneous plugin called “Post Type Convertr.” During the migration process I managed to clean up a lot of the coding and unneeded pages laying around too.
2. With all the blogs (sections of the site) in one place I had to fix some broken links and create some new official re-directs for the main sections aside from the Blog namely Video Photo Art & Design and the Archive {LINK REMOVED}.
For example brasscoestudios.com/pictures was converted to pictures.brasscoestudios.com.
And with that all #118 blog posts were tweaked to have the URL's reach their intended target or removed if invalid. Deleted areas were the planned Music section along with all the Tape Logs (for now).
3. It took me a while to have both the Facebook LIKE button and the Google+ button correctly display when viewing my site over various browsers and mobile devices. Removing some of the javascipt used for displaying certain fonts was the key. Also those buttons can now be found in all areas of the site rather than just in the blog posts.
4. With the above mentioned JavaScript change I found out that using Google Fonts {LINK REMOVED} worked way better anyways!
5. Even though I already created a Facebook Fan Page for Brasscoe Studios a while ago I was able to add a LIKE button for the website to the header. In addition I added a tweaked Fan-Box widget to the sidebar which displays image of those who have already Liked it.
6. I added breadcrumb trails to all of the sub areas. It was modified from the Prime Strategy Bread Crumb plugin.
7. Within the Photo section I created a new area called Photo Projects and moved the (Favorite Digital Images) gallery into it. Also created are the galleries "Black & White" and "The Jumping Project".
8. Lastly I created a website icon!
SIDE NOTE: I’ve finally begun to work on my video camera and its attachments ( 2012 misc - video & electronics ) in preparation for a short film I’m directing. It will be shot on DVCproHD then mathematically remastered from 2x 1080p to 4K and will be shot in true anamorphic! Below is an image of me trying to focus the lens in Cinemascope.
I found Erick's old band site for "The Vipers" and added to the Website Creation section. I hope to eventually upload some of their songs (if cleared) to the archive too.

In the past few months I’ve made tons of changes to this site. Below is a short list of them:
1. For the Blog areas I noticed that Internet Explorer fails to display my post titles correctly. This is because I use a little JavaScript program that converts the title of the post into an image which is an easy method of being able to use any font you want whether the viewer had it installed on their own system or not. In order to remedy this issue I added code to display a message for those using IE to browse the site with another browser - such as Chrome or Firefox.
2. I have slowly started fixing all of my ftp uploads that connect my Flickr videos with the actual High-Definition video used to upload to Flickr. It'll probably take me the year to get all 500+ videos added.
3. Speaking of Flickr videos in order to be allowed to have my actual videos sitting in a download folder within my ftp area I had to create a {LINKS REMOVED} linking back to this site. It automatically displays all of the videos so far added online. The link can also be found within the Pictures menu.
4. On the Photo page I fixed an issue where Firefox would display the next year’s set of image on the same line rather than correctly starting on the next.
5. Up until last week the gallery listing all digital images from 2000-2008 were manually created in a series of cell tables. I modified my method of displaying posts in order to have it display the link only. Once that was achieved I had to then re-add all those past image sets as new posts (by date) and watched as they populated the correct year area. The beauty of this method is when I decide to move 2009 in to that area it will do it with a simple line of code rather than adding all 92 by hand.
6. I had to publicly remove some of my videos from the Video section simply because they're next in line to be re-mastered. I hope to get those back up shortly.
7. The Timeline which lists all the clips & videos created so far had all of it's links verified and corrected. The now-private videos are noted as such.
8. In the Video section I tweaked the look of it - changing where the title appears and displaying the views up front.
9. Also the main movie image was changed to a silhouette of me and some of my camera equipment. It replaced the temporary image of my old camera which was in place since 2008. I still plan to photograph an actual image that visually looks better but it’ll do for now.
10. For my Tape Logs {LINK REMOVED} section I began scanning (OCR) all of my offline paperwork in order to have complete and searchable listing.
11. Although I already mentioned that was added to my Art & Design I finally uploaded the actual DVD file used when adding the video to MySpace {LINK REMOVED} years ago.
12. I removed the “posted dates” from all other website areas except for the blog.
13. Lastly I removed the FFlick link from the header as that site was purchased by Google and no longer displays my movie related posts.
