New month, new look

I decided not to take part in the CSS Reboot this year because I figured I a) wouldn’t have the inspiration and b) wouldn’t have the time to get a new layout up. I also figured I’d still be able to entertain myself playing with my rainbow navigation. However, when going over the photos from […]

Trendy Active CSS Tabs

You know how CSS navigation is all the rage, and that some people are going as far as having the current tab a different colour or style so that people know what page they’re on? Well, it’s easier to achieve than you think. No fiddling with JavaScript, no messing with multiple header includes so you […]

And Another Review: blueberriez.com

When I decide to do an unrequested review, even if the site has been suggested to me by someone else, I have to personally find something irritating on the site before I’ll even consider ranting about it. It can be anything that sets me off — bad coding, useless content or an annoying webmaster. So, […]

Unrequested review of blueberriez.com

Reviewed: Nile Site URL: blueberriez.com Aw, look, it’s that cute panda thing! I think the company behind the TarePanda™ character (San-x I believe?) must be really generous to give so many people on the web permission to use their images. Unless of course you’re breaking the law and using images you have no rights over? […]

Pixelfx.org

You’d think the fact that I wrote a scathing 3000+ word review of Pixelfx.org would be enough to express my general distaste for the “quality” of the tutorials featured there, but it’s just not enough. I’m going to repeat myself until I get the point across.. or at least until a few people tell me […]

Not Naked Anymore

As you can probably tell, I’m not naked any more. In fact, as it’s a new month there’s even a new header image to feast your eyes on. Naked CSS Day was quite revealing for me (no pun intended). As I browsed around my website I noticed gaps in the structure, and places where content […]

First Annual Naked Website Day

My website is taking part in the First Annual Naked Website Day — intended to demonstrate the value of writing semantic HTML and separating content from presentation. (Quote from Gemma of Helical-Library.net who is also taking part in the Annual Naked Day.) Basically, what you see is what somebody using a text-only browser would see […]

Freebie WordPress Themes

You know how I’m just so generous and lovely and awesome? Well, because of these wonderful traits of mine I’ve added some free WordPress themes. Only two at the moment, but I’ll gradually add to the collection. If anybody wants to see one of my old layouts made into a WP theme, let me know […]

New Entry Category: Pants

Blogging twice in one day? What is the world coming to? Yes, that means there’s a post below this one. Don’t forget to read it and comment on that one too. :P Anyway, back on topic — I have a new category! For those of you who couldn’t immediately guess, my new category is called […]

Unrequested review of fallen-rose.com

Reviewed: Kayla Site URL: fallen-rose.com 10 seconds.. 25 seconds.. 40 seconds.. 1 minute 20 seconds.. For crying out loud! I’ve been on your website almost two minutes now and your top image hasn’t loaded. I’d keep counting but I’ve forgot where I got to. And your top image is STILL loading, even after typing this. […]
