A new blog is born

A quick introduction for this blog, and Regan Johnson, the creative mogul behind Soaptray. I hope to use this blog to share some of the neat things I come across while designing and developing websites.

Well, it’s been a long time coming, but my blog is finally here. In between working full time on my latest venture, Datepad, spending time with my family, and trying to get outside more, I’ve managed to slave squeeze some time in to get my blog off the ground.

Let me introduce myself, so that we are no longer strangers.

My name is Regan Johnson - a 22 year old bloke from Calgary, Alberta, Canada - it’s nice to meet you! I’m a creative web developer with a savvy blend of skills within my profession - a mix which is unique - programming, design & marketing.

My mentor taught me much of what I know today, and I owe many of my successes in this industry to him. Because of his selflessness, and the effect it has had on me, I feel compelled to share what I know with others in hopes of returning the favor. If your interested, learn more about me.

I bet a lot of you are wondering what a crazy name like “soaptray” means.

The name is something catchy, unique, and easy to brand. Soaptray Inc. is the name of my creative design studio here in Calgary. I have a handful of excellent clients, and I love my job (if you can even call it that). Soaptray is also a place to share and organize my ideas. Since you are reading this post, I don’t think it needs any more introduction.

Thanks for checking out my new home on the net, and I look forward to meeting some great people along the way. Why not introduce yourself and leave me a comment below?

Regan,

I am a teen blogger from India.
Your design is awesome. KUDOS to you on that.
You’ve shown that, blogs doesn’t have to be always formal and minimalistic.
The design work is awesome, not to mention the content.
I am sure that there are much more to come from you.
And in your introduction, you talked about “sharing what you know”. That is a principle of mine too..I believe in free sharing and i love the community spirit.

Writing this comment was a pleasure. Congrats for your off-beat colour schemes and comment form layout.
Morover, you are on StumbleUpon, so you will have a good go for sure.
All you have to do is to just share what you know and you’ve already proved that you WILL.

Wishing you a great way ahead.
Cheers from India by Aravind.
:)
