    The last two days have been a little weird for me since I’ve had this idea on how I want my image galleries to look like in the front page and I have yet to find the right solution. I’ve had to resort to using what I’ve never really tried exploring just yet: Regular Expressions.…

    I call them trends some might call it practice. I think both are fairly close to one another but practice is more the term I should be using since I am referring to code. What makes for a practice? Especially when it comes to programming? Who decides and says a certain way is good? Yeah…

    The progress of my theme is decent. I have been learning how to work with Git and SVN more and more. I did recently have a little conversation with @ipstenu on Twitter about learning version control. Yes, I am still learning how to harness the power of simple commits and getting the hang of how to…

    If it’s one thing I hate it’s loading up a site, click on something and then the layout gets all wonky on me. For the last two years I have read and learned about HTML and CSS validation. The one thing I have learned is that there are people out there that don’t care for…

    Recently I have been working more diligently on putting some finishing touches on my personal blog’s theme. Working on a local machine is so much easier now that I understand how it works. I remember when I started out with PHP it was painful. I got frustrated because I didn’t know where the files had…

    Slowly but surely my blog’s is coming together. The one thing I am now attempting to do is work out a gallery system. While I do like the Twenty Twelve’s way of presenting the image gallery I want something a little different. The way the Twenty Twelve handles the images is by linking to a…

    More and more I have coded the theme for my site and more and more I beginning to understand how TortoiseSVN works. Version control has been good to me so far. Every bit of testing I do helps to program my brain to register and understand better. A good example is a quick little snippet…

    Recently I was perusing the WordPress support forums in hopes to use some of my newly gained knowledge to help others that are learning just like me. I came across a thread that made me laugh a little bit. It was a practice I’ve never really seen and I think should be avoided; at least…

    Okay, I just recently found out about this amazing Notepad++ plugin and I am beyond in love with it! I had tried using Zen Coding but for some strange reason it didn’t work. It could have been me, to be honest. The plugin works very simply by creating shortcuts to cut the development time. These…

    So far I have been experimenting with adding theme options to my theme for when I get ready to actually share the theme with the WordPress community. I have the basic file structure that I want to be using for themes down the road. It is of course HTML5 and I’ll try and mess around…
