27th Birthday Post With 7 Of My Favorite Wordpress Design And Development Blogs

My Experience As A Volunteer At Wordcamp Boston (with Session Slides) #wcbos

Now that it’s over I wanted to write about how great Wordcamp Boston was. Check out #wcbos or #bestwordcampever if you need more proof. Or you can relive it on the live blog. I first found out about it a couple weeks before the tickets went on sale, and I immediately wanted to go. The next thing I heard was that tickets were sold out….bummer. I didn’t even know they went on sale and they were already gone. Luckily I happened to see they still needed volunteers, which I was willing to settle for even though I wouldn’t be able to see and do everything I wanted when I wanted, and I would have to do work. I just wanted to be apart of it, and I was one of those chosen to volunteer so I would be able to go after all

25 Unbelievably Inspiring Works Of Art – Masters Of Design

It’s time for another dose of design inspiration. I think it’s necessary for designers to look at others work often to help expanding the imagination of creativity. It opens you up to more ideas and things that you wouldn’t normally even think of or consider doing yourself. I think my favorite type graphic art is photo manipulation because it is one of the most creative forms of art I’ve ever seen, and it requires an extreme amount of skill to do effectively

A Fresh New Wordpress Theme Design By Tweeaks

This is a new project I am working on, and it’s about time too! I have been meaning to start making Wordpress custom themes and designs for a while now, and never had the time to with all the other things I have going on. I had a reason to do it this time, and was motivated to make it the best I could, but within some requirements

How To Make A Dynamic jQuery Feature Post Slider For Wordpress

I finally finished getting my new custom jQuery featured post slider working as you can see in the header of the site. It took some trial and error but I eventually managed to figure out how to get it working. I ran into issues because I was first trying to use to get the posts, but then learned about WP_Query() and that solved all my problems.

10 Beautiful High Quality Dual Screen Wallpapers

If you are lucky enough to have 2 monitors to do your design or development work on, I am not, then you might possibly be interested in having a wallpaper that would fit nicely as the background. I got a request from one of Tweeaks awesome readers for me to post some dual screen wallpapers, and I promised her that it would be next on my list

I just turned 27 on Saturday and I gotta say, it wasn’t really any different than any other day for me. You know how I spent my birthday? I was working on websites, learning more about Wordpress and all that stuff that I do on a daily basis. I spent the majority of the day alone, on my computer. I’m so exciting, and wild huh.

The whole weekend really was basically nothing more than ordinary as far as birthday weekends go. It’s not like I couldn’t find stuff to do, I just wanted to do what I do, and it made me depressed.

I did go to the Cheesecake Factory with my family on Sunday which was nice. Also went to a small gathering of friends, where I only knew 3 people, and was only there for an hour or two. I used to do cool stuff, but now I’m boring I guess.

Anyways, I wanted to include in this extremely compelling post a list of Wordpress blogs for designers and developers that I used a lot over the weekend, and many times in the past. There’s a lot of great information for learning Wordpress on each of them and recommend checking them out.
