Another round of security updates were sucessfull as of February 8th, 2010.  All hosted sites are up to date.

We recently had the opportunity to contribute a Wordpress theme to Sandy's Ankeny thanks to Slash Web Studios.  Sandy's Ankeny is a new blog maintained by, well, Sandy, who has previously worked at the Register and the Ankeny Press Citizen.  Congratulations to Sandy on the new project!

Balanced Scale Media is proud to announce the the integration of Piwik Web Analytic software as a free feature to existing and future clients.  Existing clients will recieve login information as soon as there is a sufficient amount of data to work with.  Enjoy! 

The newly redesigned Loftus Heating and AC website is now up and running.  This site was redone from the ground up from their initial static html site.  They now have a database driven website complete with the integration of the Lennox Product API!  It is my hope that they and their customers find it to be an improvement.

I'm happy to announce that BalancedScale.com and all client sites will now be running on a dedicated server!  That means more performance for you and a more flexible development platform for us.  We will able to offer more features and will have the resources to take on bigger clients.  Yeah, for progress!

Announcing the redesign and relaunch of Shotgun Congress.com. The site has had a number of features added to it. Hopefully, you will find it more community oriented, user friendly, and pleasing to the eye.

All sites were down today for regular maintenance as well as expansion. Balanced Scale Media is not only more secure, but has greater capacity to meet its recent growth.

The official launch of the writer's blog "Shotgun Congress" happened today. This site will be a source for fiction writing and thoughts on the writing process courtesy of site owner Mark Bosworth. Check it out @ www.shotguncongress.com.

I just added a new portfolio page to showcase some of our work. Feel free to browse through it. I would like to add some code and functionality samples in the future.

Things have been picking up here. We just launched www.handymarv.com! This a site for Marv's Handyman Service out of Woodbine, Iowa. Thanks goes out to LaBresh Media for the contract design work. The latest project is for a company named Kingdom Builders. We are looking to have a homepage up for them this week. I'll be adding a portfolio section to the site soon to showcase our work.

Cheers.
