Designing the Web Today: A Little Simplicity Can Go a Long Way

Josh Robert Nay

As many of you know, I have decided to pause the writing site of my career for a time to focus on the website design career. What I’ll be discussing today is how important simplicity can be in design. When it comes to web design and development, it can be tempting to opt for a flashy, colorful, and noisy website. However, one thing you quickly learn in the web design business is that a little simplicity can go a long way. Case in point, in my work for both Well Prepared and HEALTHandMED, I took the websites from a cluttered,

Some New Changes in the Midst

Josh Robert Nay

A year and a half ago, I detailed my desire to continue writing and I really meant it. In fact, for the past year and a half, I have been working on TruTower and also acquired 1800Pocket/PC. Needless to say, those two websites have kept me busy (and unfortunately this hasn’t left me much time for writing in my blog or working on my books and poetry). You can keep up to date with these works by visiting the articles section of the website and clicking on the site of your choice. Be sure to follow both on Twitter and

My First Love Poem … Tranquil

Josh Robert Nay

Tranquil was my very first love poem, written in 1998 and previously published in The Colors of Life collection as Jontelle’s Poem in 2004. It has since been rewritten and revamped, published in my A Lover’s Garden collection in 2010. Due to fan request, this poem will be added to the upcoming redesigned A Lover’s Garden page in June as part of the Preview section. For now, enjoy! I see myself standing there, Tranquil for the longest hour. Happy. Free. Without a care Because of her hidden power. And as I stand there, Looking out Across the weathering world, I

Thinking and Rethinking … I Need Coffee

Josh Robert Nay

Some of you may have been wondering what I’ve been up to for the past month or two. Some of you haven’t. Either way, I think I’m going to write this entry. Most of my time has been spent on TruTower.com. It has been a wonderful experience writing for the tech blog, and I’m definitely looking forward to continuing. I heartily invite all of you to like the page on Facebook: www.facebook.com/trutower. Aside from TruTower, I’ve been working on a short story here, a poem there, but nothing new to report on the publication side. It’s not that I’ve stopped

Go Ahead! Make Up Your Own Title and Put it Here!

Josh Robert Nay

Writing has always been the greatest treasure I’ve known. I’m proud to be a writer, and through all the difficulties I face every single time I put pen to paper (or in my case, fingers to keyboard), I am reminded of elementary school, when my greatest goal was to be a bestselling writer. While that remains a goal (of course), I feel like my focus has shifted. I really don’t care if I make bestseller. I mean, I really wouldn’t mind at all, but as long as I know people read and love my work, that’s really all I care

Building Blocks … A Look Back

Josh Robert Nay

Two years ago today, Josh Robert Nay Online 1.0 was officially launched. Previously, the website had been called many things and went through many reinventions: J.R. Nay Connection (1999-2003), Gaia’s Adoration (2003-2007), space15 (2007-2009) and finally, in 2009, the final and official Josh Robert Nay Online was released. Here’s a quick overview of each of the former websites and their focuses, many of them having more included than writing! J.R. Nay ConnectionMy very first novice attempt at creating a website online, I honestly didn’t have my writing in mind when I created J.R. Nay Connection (JRNC). The site itself went
