Intro

So my friend Louis and I started this small blog and podcast, and even though it's kinda sparsely updated, it works quite nicely for us as a creative outlet.

Code

Even though it's not really programming, the amount of work put into this site is fairly tremendous. Three redesigns have gone down in less than three months, and trying to integrate HTML5 (which, incidentally, isn't compatible with Blogger's XML wrapping) is a toughie. Firstly, I began by changing around some elements within the original theme. Styling was of little concern: I changed the ``div`` structure to something that I liked, and then went from there. I've also tried integrating a completely separate fixed menu bar, but I have yet to do that.

Colors

I kinda used a bad amount of colors.

Color	Use	Source
#000	text, headings, and links	standard color
#E8E8EE	borders	light grey hex search
#3B5998	facebook button hover	Facebook's color repository
#1DCAFF	twitter button hover	Twitter's color repository
#FF6600	soundcloud button hover	Soundcloud's color repository
#B31217	rules border color, YouTube button hover, link hover color	Google's color repository
#FFDF00	github button hover	light yellow color since I couldn't think of anything else

Fonts

I love fonts, too. I have a fairly wide collection of them now, and I keep finding more good ones on Google Webfonts.

Font	Use	Source
Roboto	main text, menu, header, and sidebar font	Google WebFonts
Droid Sans Mono	code font, resource list font	Google WebFonts
