Hey everyone,
Just wanted to pass along a note to let you know that I have just released Junction to the public! Check it out at the Junction homepage.
I am currently trying to find out how I can release Junction to the WordPress theme directory. At the moment, WordPress only accepts normal themes, and not child themes. I […]

I’m just putting the finishing touches on Junction right now, and will be moving on to testing very soon (probably by Friday). If you would be interested in giving it a test-run, please leave a comment here (leave your email in the email section, don’t publish it in your comment).
I’d love to gather as much feedback […]

I know, this isn’t the first time you’ve seen me start this whole thing over. Really, I am not starting over at all. I just felt that I needed to take my “theme in progress” down for a while until it was closer to being ready for launch. I learned a very valuable lesson though: […]

I had an idea for a post title background today. I was somewhat inspired by the new header for Last.fm.
Take a look at the idea, and tell me what you think!
The title would be in Din Bold, using sIFR. Also, I’m debating between Georgia and Lucida Grande for body text. I really like Lucida Grande, but also […]
As I have been researching more design details for my “In The Details” series, I came across quite a few more date displays that I felt I needed to share. So, before we get to tomorrow’s post on what I’m calling “image ribbons,” I thought I’d post a few more date displays for your enjoyment.

So, as some of you may know, my entire blog was erased last week while I was attempting to install something on my web server. Unfortunately, while Media Temple has a backup of the database, they want to charge me over $120 just to restore it, which I just don’t have. So, it’s back to […]
Note: The sIFR doesn’t seem to be working at the moment. I’m working on a fix this weekend. Hopefully everything will be good by this weekend. The problem happened when I tried to use sIFR 3 with the Flashy Titles plugin. I’ll have an update when everything’s fixed.
On a few of the blog designs […]
Made a few style decisions regarding the blog today. As I had posted earlier, I want the design to have a personal feeling to it. I want it warm and inviting, and to almost have a “hand drawn” aspect to it.
I’ve started to dig into the stylesheets a bit. One of the things I love about […]
