And We’re In Business!
The blog has been successfully moved to the new domain and theme. Took longer than I wanted, but doesn't everything?

- WordPress' list-driven navigation. A lot of WordPress revolves around lists, which in most cases is good, but why use UL/OL/LI if you can simply use "display:block;" CSS?
In any event, the new blog is up and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the design and how I can improve the website!

![Image Manipulation with PHP and the GD Library]()
Yeah, I'm a Photoshop wizard. I rock the selection tool. I crop like a farmer. I dominate the bucket tool. Hell, I even went as far as wielding the wizard wand selection tool once.
...OK I'm rubbish when it comes to Photoshop.
![Parallax Sound Waves Animating on Scroll]()
Scrolling animations are fun. They are fun to create and fun to use. If you are tired of bootstrapping you might find playing with scrolling animations as a nice juicy refreshment in your dry front-end development career. Let's have a look how to create animating...
