Hey guys, today I’m proud to announce that through my design studio – QBKL Media – I’ve released Bold, a smart, minimal and clean CV / resume template packed with nice features.

Bold is a minimal and clean one-page CV / resume template featuring print-ready and mobile-ready versions, downloadable PDF version generated on-the-fly, working Ajax contact form, jQuery lightbox gallery and social media section. It is also very easily editable and configurable.

You might wonder how Bold could help you, the blogger? Well, behind every blogger is a professional and truth is, no matter how much information you add to your resume and how much expertise you have, presentation is a key element.

The setup and configuration of the template is easy and straight forward and basically the time between the moment you finish downloading and the moment you have your full CV online is just a matter of how fast you type!

The Bold CV/resume HTML & PHP template is available for sale through the ThemeForest marketplace at the low price of $10 ($8 for the registered users with cash deposits).

It’s time to look good, be that online professional that everybody talks about!

Hello friends! This is one of those posts that keeps you updated with my activity (and prevents people to think that Blogsessive is gone). Again, it was a busy period of time, but one that has produced something that I’ve been waiting for while to happen: me and my associate, Adrian, have launched the website of our design studio: QBKL Media.

Between writing on Blogsessive and working on client projects I’ve hardly found the time to get the website together, but now it happened and I’m really happy. We went for a simple, minimal, one-page website that focuses on what we want to share with those that access it: Who we are, what we do and how to get in touch. It has already been featured on CSS Mania and Abduzeedo’s “Sites of the week #49″, and this makes me even happier.

Now, all that remains is to push hard to get the alpha version of DNPicker.com up and running. DNPicker is side project meant to take the place of the old “Domain names for bloggers” series on Blogsessive. Things have progressed well in the last week and if you wish to stay updated with what’s going on, follow DNPicker on Twitter. As soon as the alpha version will be ready, I will make available a few alpha-testing account that will be reserved only to those following DNPicker on Twitter to help the conversation, feature suggestion and bug reporting process.

This latest activity has influenced the posting flow on Blogsessive, but unfortunately, once in a while I have to make time for other projects too. Rest assured that Blogsessive lives on.

Thanks for being here!

By now, you should know that I’m a WordPress fan. While most people regard it as a simple blogging platform, some see beyond that and realize that WordPress is a very capable CMS.

While working with it as a website CMS will not allow too many customizations for entry-level developers or users, in the hands of a pro WordPress is ready to perform miracles.

The advantages of WordPress powered websites

There are quite a bunch of advantages when developing websites using WordPress as CMS, but the most important are:

• Productivity – A lot less time spent on development, which guarantees a lower cost and still high quality;
• Ease of use – Both client-side and developer-side. The amount of tutorials, plugins and support groups available out there is a divine gift;
• Updates – The WordPress community is very involved in keeping the project up to date and bug free and the updates are so easy to apply.

It’s enough to run a search on Google and you’ll see how many people praise the power of WordPress but instead of using words, this time I’ll use results.
