I've just launched HockeyRefCast, a webcast about ice hockey officiating. Episode 1 is now posted and available for listening. It includes:

• An introduction to the webcast,
• Hockey officiating news from the Summer of 2008,
• An interview with special guest, Referee Ian Walsh from the National Hockey League.

HockeyRefCast has been accepted into the iTunes Store Podcast Directory. You can subscribe to HockeyRefCast by following this link.

Weblog Improvement is a consulting service that specializes in designing, developing, and supporting Movable Type and TypePad-based publishing systems. I started it in 2004.

I relaunched WeblogImprovement.com over the weekend by adopting a design based on the Universal Template Set from the Movable Type 4 Professional Pack.

I wanted to use as few plugins as possible in this design, so I could show the out-of-the-box power of Movable Type 4. I used Custom Fields to designate screen shots from my Flickr photostream that represent each site that I've worked on recently. Each client website is represented as a single blog entry.

I designed and built two websites recently for a client of Weblog Improvement called Cambridge Products Group LLC. They are based in Whippany, NJ, near Morristown.

These are fairly simple websites that are built on the Movable Type Publishing System version 4.1 and a customized version of the Hemingway theme applied to the Classic Blog Template Set.

I'm starting to work on developing a podcast about hockey officiating which I hope to launch in September 2008. More details on this later this summer.

I decided to rev DaveAiello.com to make it a showcase for more of my work.  Let me know what you think of the layout.
