The Entry Archive
Welcome to the Big Square Blog!
Dear All,
Greetings and welcome to the new web home of Big Square Dot!
Big Square Dot is a one man website design company located in Houston, Texas. It is operated and run by Philip Arthur Moore, a recent Rice University graduate who worked up the nerve to avoid post-graduate corporate life and start his own gig.
Big Square Blog is the company blog of Big Square Dot. As the ‘tagline’ of this portion of the website indicates, Big Square Blog will be dedicated to the topics of website design and all things WordPress.
In addition to discussions about design and WordPress, I will also delve into some topics that I have developed a substantial amount of interest in lately, including MySQL/PHP programming, wiki development, color management, and more. I will use the Big Square Blog to keep customers abreast of any changes that are happening with the company and also spend some time writing the occasional off-topic, fun-loving entry.
The Navigation Setup of Big Square Dot
Without further ado, I will provide you with a rough outline of the Big Square Dot/Big Square Blog navigation architecture to make your visit here as enjoyable as possible.
From the main page of the Big Square Dot website (www.bigsquaredot.com), you can access the following areas of Big Square Dot:
- The services that I offer.
- The pricing for my services.
- A detailed, yet simple, quote questionnaire.
I have taken the liberty to include a lot of information about me at the ‘About’ page. Included in the ‘About’ section of the website is a brief biography, a note about my computer skills, and some quotes that may leave you scratching your head.
What’s the deal with the quotes?
Stick around for a minute or so and you’ll start noticing a lot of quotes that reference the book The Alchemist, written by Paulo Coelho. I stumbled upon this book during a trip to Phnom Penh, Cambodia during 2005. Due to a combination of homesickness, restlessness, and a confusion over what my goals were for the following year, I took to heart the many messages in this book.
The amazing thing about reading this book at the time that I read it was that I felt exactly as Santiago, the Andalusian shepherd boy, felt in regards to pursuing his dreams. There are two quotes that encapsulate most of how I have felt about life for the last several years, especially since taking the time to travel:
- “Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
- “In the long run, what people think about shepherds and bakers becomes more important for them than their own destinies.”
In short, at the time that I read The Alchemist, I knew it was finally time for me to follow my dreams no matter how wild or unconventional they may seem. This book has stayed with me for some time.
If you have any questions regarding my services, this blog, or anything else under the sun, feel free to contact me. There are two ways to get in touch:
- Send an email to contact [at] bigsquaredot [dot] com
- Fill out the contact form that is located on the quote questionnaire page.
That ought to do it for now.
I look forward to keeping you all up to date on the happenings at Big Square Dot, and if you need work done or know someone who needs work done, I trust that you’ll send them to the right place!
Cheers,
Philip Arthur Moore
