Some Little Tidbits
Firstly, CSSbake was very recently featured in a Smashing Magazine post on 40+ Helpful Resources On User Interface Design Patterns, which is a huge boost to CSSbake as a website and growing resource for webmasters. Huge congratulations to Ben, obviously, and to Melissa, who’ve both been putting in all the work lately to keep it ticking over while I lounge in pregnant misery.
In other news, I have been desperately trying to roll out some updates to my own site in what little free time I have, and because of Amelie‘s PHPAskIt, have now got a fully working FAQ (except not) script for the first time in about 6 months. Alongside that I’ve updated a few articles (typo corrections only), and published Common Windows Myths in which I attempt to be as neutral as I can (so it’s not a “XYZ sucks please use something else!” article) while still correcting a few misconceptions.
Desperately trying to get through a backlog of projects, 5 month old emails and other such delights while I have a little energy in the evenings, so bear with me if you’re waiting on something. Cheers!
Warning
This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.
As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.
Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

You should get someone to help you with those e-mails. I’m sure there are a lot of the same type of e-mails that can be answered with simple answers. :)
Congratulations on CSSbake :)

@Emsz: that’s why I’m hoping the working FAQ script will come in handy. I can start directing people back to things that have been answered (likewise, they can search, yay :D )

:D I do like my tasty home baked pai. Pity I haven’t got off my bum and finished the latest version though, hmmm
Congrats on the SM linkage :D

Congratulations on CSSbake getting featured :D It really is a great resource if people need inspirations for a certain part of their website.
Good luck with all your projects/answering emails/whatnots! -
Ugh. Finally. Now I can go back to asking you dumb questions. ;)

This relates more to your article about Windows myths than your actual blog post, but I just wanted to let you know that you’re definitely not alone in being a Windows user by choice.
The amount of cursing that comes from Sam’s mouth whenever he has to use a Linux or Mac computer for his programming is astounding. :P
-
Yay! I’m glad to hear that CSS Bake was featured.
-
Congratulations on CSSbake getting featured! It’s definitely worthy of the recognition, I take a gander at it every time I want to make a new layout.
The Windows Myth article is fantastic. My friend is a huge Mac loyalist, it’s quite irritating.
-
Aww congrats on CSSbake! I really like that site.
-
That’s fantastic about CSSbank; congrats. It’s an all-around great website but I especially love the ‘cookbook’ section.
-

Did you see this? -
Oh, that’s great for CSSBake! :)
-
I saw that post with CSSBake. That’s awesome. Congrats :)
-
Congrats for CSSBake! It deserves the recognition :)
and yay to the FAQ section, I can start asking questions now. Lol. ;) -
Tidbits? I always thought it was "titbits". Clearly I was wrong, and just as well really. Although my Firefox spell-checker seems to think I was right all along. Never mind, whatever.
Good lick with getting stuff done and that. I generally find myself cheesed off that nobody can muster up the botherment to email me. Obviously I need to be careful what I wish for.
-
awesome news for CSSbake. It has such awesome inspiration. :)
And I can’t even get things done normally… I think you’re doing things amazingly fast.

I found CSSbake a few months back, but it was pretty empty and dead-looking, which was a pity…it’s an excellent idea for a site. CSS gallery + applied tutorials.
There’s much more to it, so I’m quite happy to have another site to add to my bookmarks.
