Gallery Project - June 04 2009
The gallery project page has been updated, it will be receiving some treatments to make it easier for non-experienced web designers to understand the installation process, but at the moment it shouldn't be a problem for someone with beginner level html.
Redesign - June 03 2009
I decided that the previous layout was too minimal to the point where it simply wasn't pleasant to browse it for an extended period of time. I still wanted to have a very light layout and to avoid a lot of graphics scattered around. The navigation was created when I was making tests for jQuery lists and I came up with the idea for it as it will be easy to store a lot of projects without being too obtrusive to the rest of the menu items. This navigation will also be beneficial incase I add archives at a later stage as it will be easy to sort out the dates within the collapsable lists.

My personal choice of browser, it is not as widely used as it should be since it treats pages a lot smoother and faster than most browsers.
The front-runner in web accessibility and provider of several validators.
A large library of free icons.
A site which provides excellent tutorials, both written and video, mostly for the technical aspects of Web Development but also for design purposes.
