Sluggish but not from a Hangover.

I've been a bit sluggish lately, but its not because of St. Patty's day.  I've got some flu/infection thing my body has been fighting for a few days, and yesterday I had a pretty sweet fever, so I apologize for the lack of good updates.  I did put together a list of some of my favorite websites and will be adding more in the future, hopefully that will tide you guys over for a bit.  [+]

St Patty

Happy St. Patty's day folks, have a safe and fun holiday... I'm working on a few things for the site at the moment so stay tuned for a tutorial for tomorrow. [+]

Got Malware? Use a Hosts File

Even though this isn't directly related to blogging or running a website, it is needed to have a well running PC. After all if you can't use your PC because it's bogged down with bloatware, malware, adbots, or any other dang thing out there, you very well can't do any website work. What is a Hosts File? A hosts file contains mappings of IP addresses to Host Names, and can block any access from a [+]

Theme Implemented

I think I found a theme that will work for now, it's a 3 column theme like I wanted, with some advertising areas implemented and two sidebar widget areas. So Far I think it looks pretty good, Ill have to add some shark logos here and there, but that goes without saying with a free theme. This one is gonna be a bit tricky to tie together though, god bless the designer's heart, [+]

Never Again Forget That Amazing Idea

Ever come up with a great idea, but don't have anything to write it down on? Ever wake up in the middle of the night with a great idea but put off writing it down till the morning? We all do that, and most of the time that great idea slips through our fingers. Fret No More! PocketMod to the rescue! Ok ok, enough cheesy PSA talk, this thing is pretty cool. I [+]

Theme WIP

I've decided to start working on a new theme for sharkfoo.com.  The 2 column layout is not working for me, I'd much rather have a 3 column which would enable me to put ads in the sidebar instead of peppering them around in the content.  So stay tuned for that, also I have some new findings in my traffic experiment which I will post sometime tomorrow.  Even though it's a little early I've noticed a [+]

Must Read Web Links

These are just a few links I've been reading through the past few days, I figured I would post them up for you all to enjoy and hopefully learn something. Smashing Magazine - Navigation is the most significant element in web design. Since web-layouts don’t have any physical representation a user can stick to, consistent navigation menu is one of the few design elements which provide users with some sense of orientation and guide them through [+]

Site Misconfiguration

FYI I'm working on fixing the logo/css, if I remove the text it bumps a couple of divs around... it'll be fixed shortly. [+]

For Developers - Must Have Firefox Addon

If you're into building websites you might want to take a look at this tool. I stumbled upon it just a few days ago whilst browsing the Firefox addons directory. It's called Fireshot, and it allows you to take snapshots of a webpage in the window or the entire screen and annotate it. Its amazingly simple to use, thats one of my favorite things about, not a lot of clutter but very [+]

Grand Opening
