“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.” – Douglas Adams I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what makes a good blog design and when to release that design to the world.

How To Create Tabs Using jQuery

Tabbed sidebar elements are in. Why bother making users scroll down the page, when they can simply click a tab to quickly access various parts of your site? Another popular thing is jQuery, “The Write Less, Do More, JavaScript Library.” I’ve gotten a lot of emails asking how I created tabs with jQuery in the [...]

Back From Spring Break & A New Theme

So, I’m finally getting around to blogging this week. Yes, it’s been a long absence, and I know I said I’d be back on Monday or Tuesday. I actually did come home on Tuesday, but I’ve been lazier than I’ve ever been this week. I have accomplished a few things though. Let’s get those out [...]

Yes, I’ve been influenced by Facebook. So, I’ve decided to mimic their design for my next theme. I think I’ll call it Facebook Mimic. It’s not finished yet. I haven’t decided whether I’m keeping the same colors, and I need a good header.

Finished Amy’s Website

It was a long weekend, but I finished putting the pieces of Amy’s website together. I’m happy with the results of the design mostly. It has made me reconsider how I structure my website. So, I might have a lot of housecleaning to do if I decide to do a little restructuring. I guess I’m [...]
