Bboy vILLn from UGF

The Lor Brothers have been homies of mine for a couple years now and I gotta say they are two of the nicest (in dance and personally) bboys i have ever known. They are so true to the art. Practice constantly, always bettering themselves as bboys and community mentors / leaders. They are both actively involved in culture shock la and the Long Beach bboy scene. They battle with the best and prove themselves to be amongs the best not only on and off the floor. I just found a trailer from peeping the Kallusive site that Kyle put up for vILLn, one of the mighty Lor Brotherans.

I’ll only say that this fool can do mad power on top of this mad style. I’ll let the video speak for itself. Enjoy and be inspired.

T-shirt Test

Testing out the t-shirt process with Zazzle. I really prefer their interface over Cafe Press so far. Any body else have suggestions? Lets see how this embed looks prior to a custom store:

For now you can click on this bad boy and order a shirt. I know the initial shirt is expensive and I only make like 2 bucks on it haaa. The reason is because it is an American Apparel shirt. Feel free to choose a cheaper shirt (lower quality) if that is more in your budget. If you guys have design ideas for my shirts send em on over!!! Shortly, I will integrate the Zazzle store here on the site. Just gotta figure it out.

For all my Web Geeks - WP vs EE

This post is really just a link to a cool post by wed designer Macus Neto. I know totally unrelated to dance but it explains the difference between Wordpress and Expression Engine. Since the website began, I have used wordpress and recently my Web Dev Sensei changed it to Expression Engine. This is one of the articles that convinced me to stick with this CMS instead. Many of you may not know but I handle EVERYTHING about Breakdancedvd.com including the website, marketing, distribution, and of course editing the dvds and videos. Its become absolutely overwhelming.

Fortunately, I am surrounded by amazingly talented individuals who have stepped up and help take the load off of just me. It would be soo nice to just focus on making dance related content for all of you as opposed to diverting energies to my continue education of web development. With that said, my smoovement brotheran Victor and Syrenz chica Donna have mostly taken over handling this new site layout / design and implementation. The whole Back End of the site (the part you guys don’t see) is running on Expression Engine and it is pretty robust in it’s abilities. In the coming months, this site will take on some transformations as I continue to find the right balance of buy my dvd with why should you in the first place in addition to Daily / Weekly useable Dance content for all of my viewers. Any feedback would definitely be appreciated.

Here is a great short article on the differences between wordpress and expression engine:
