Server-side software used

  • Writer’s Block is a Content Management System I coded myself. It allows you to create non-blog content pages (Anypages), has a robust spamguard to prevents spamments, and has many other features you should check out.

Assets used

  • The navigation button icons at the top of the page come from Mark James’ amazing Silk Icon set.
  • Karla by Jonny Pinhorn is used for titles, navigation and header/footer sections.
  • Georgia is used for body text because I like how its numbers don’t don’t always fall on the baseline.
  • Consolas is used for preformatted text.

Past designs

Apologies for the poor image quality. I did a lot of the early stuff with a 56kb dial-up connection, and was trying to save bandwidth where I could.
