Hello World!

Hey everybody, Scott here, the other half of planetstorybook.com. I've been hard at work developing the site architecture, and I can't say how excited I am about this, I think this is going to be a really special site, and I'll be giving you updates on how the site development is coming along.

I'm happy to say phase 1 is finally complete! What is phase 1 you ask? Well the development of a Flash-based dynamic storybook system! Version 1.0 of the storybook entry system and the storybook display system are complete. The database structure and fuctinonality is in place, and we now have the ability for users to share storybooks with friends.

Right now, I'm working on adding the ability to upload photos directly from the storybook entry system and preview your storybooks there. I'm also adding the ability to have greater control over layout options. In addition, I'm also bugproofing the existing architecture. That shouldn't take too long, then I'll add the ability to search for and edit existing stories.

Development has also started on character art as well. I can't wait until that's complete and we can start integrating the characters into the site!

That's it for now. Back to work!
Scott

Color Happy - Happy 1st Birthday Arianna!

We are now well into Spring of 2009 and wow does time every past by fast! Ari is now 1 years old and is as smart and beautiful as ever. I couldn't be any more prouder! For her birthday I wanted to do something special so I illustrated a coloring book for her.

I am also really thinking about getting print sponsors to mass produce this book so that I can donate it to Children's Hospitals! It always feels nice to give back.
