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…
Code – Theme status: structure
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…
Code – some random javascript conditionals
Warning: what you are about to read deals with code. Working with PHP is fun for me. At times it can be a pain but I still love it. One thing that I have been trying to find is an AJAX media query for loading certain stylesheets when the viewport is at certain widths. I…
My WordPress theme
I finally, finally got the ball rolling on what will be my theme and theme structure for this site! I am so excited about this. After having read so many posts about templates, CSS, OOCSS, SaSS, PHP and just about any random acronym you can possibly think of I finally have a name for the…

A new direction

My blog site
This blog site has been a great thing for me. I have learned so much about myself by actually writing about my thoughts. It has opened my mind to how I really feel about life and the world around me. I have been experimenting more and more with web design and development. I can’t wait…
Parenthood – The journey begins
Parenthood is a never-ending journey and every day is a new adventure into making mistakes while trying to keep some sanity. Parenthood has no rules, guidelines or even a reference guide but it is still a great thing to be a part of. I entered upon this journey on June 7. Okay not entirely but that was the day my little boy, Salvador, was born so I will count that as the actual day the journey began. I will add more and more pages as time goes on and I get time to share these little life lessons.
Understanding JavaScript prototypes
Working with jQuery has been a really crazy journey these past few weeks. The biggest hurdle has been understanding how it all works. Little by little it has all been clicking in my head. Reading several articles about what jQuery is and how to use is has been a good enlightenment for me. There are…
