It seems like quite a long time since I posted a bit of a rant on something, so it’s about time for another. Todays topic of choice is exercise excuses. “I have no time to workout.” Hearing that comment always gets me worked up as we’ve all heard it before and it’s the lamest excuse… Continue Reading +
I’ve worked with WordPress for years, and one of the most common problems I see when looking at others code is the way they chose to get the path to their theme directory or the url of the site. A lot of front-end developers still don’t seem to really know what the best way is… Continue Reading +
A few months ago, I stopped using LESS as my CSS preprocessor of choice and started using SASS (SCSS) instead. I’d initially been put off using SCSS as it required using the Terminal.

I also realise that there’s been plenty of debate around which font unit is best, but in all honesty I don’t care about that. I’ve tried using… Continue Reading +
I like Brighton, in fact I’d even go as far as saying it rivals Bristol as one of my favourite places in the UK, not least because of the great design and creative crowd it’s famed for, so it seems strange that I’d never attended any sort of conference there before now. That was thankfully… Continue Reading +
