Web design & content management.
How's it going? I’m Danny and I believe that design directly affects the way we see the world. Follow me on any of the networks below to get to know me better!
I post most things here than anywhere else online. So if you would like to know me better and you've found this then you're all sorts of lucky. Congratulations!

Yay! New design for the new year. Well, honestly, I decided to hold off on moving to ExpressionEngine until they release the 2.0 upgrade. In the mean time I released a tumblr version of my new design!
Look forward to a special Christmas present from me to the tumblr community for all the fun you guys have allowed me to experience over the past year I’ve been on tumblr.
I think the pic provides a pretty straightforward explanation. But I would encourage you to take a look at the site and mess around with the posts. Let me know if there are any bugs, though (Unless it’s on anything other than the latest Safari 3. I don’t even have the slightest idea of what this looks like in Firefox or IE… not that I have a problem with Firefox but I just don’t use it).
My original intention with EE was to do something similar to Jason Santa Maria’s site. So far that seems to be working but I want to wait for the update. Now, tumblr is a little limited in this regard but changing the layout will only require some quick class changes thanks to the blueprint framework. This also means that it maintains a vertical rhythm that ironically is pointless because I don’t want to have to change each image’s height to match the grid… It’s cool, still looks good.
FONTS! Oh oh oh! The design looks best if you have Gotham installed. I’ll be working on a sIFR alternative soon. In the mean time I have a little something for browsers that support CSS2. If you don’t have Gotham or CSS2 technology it degrades to Helvetica Neue Light (on the post meta), then Helvetica, then Arial and then generic sans-serif. Other than that there’s some serif on post bodies.
The paragraph’s that follow the first in an order are indented. I’m still not sure I really like this, especially with small sentences followed by images… looks a little weird.
Please let me know what you think. I decided not to go with disqus comments so reblog or just a “like” would suffice! I’ll be making updates as time goes by.
After a weekend and a day of no internet I had to reblog something about this mess. Sweet!(via nickdouglas)
We’re seriously excited about this, and we can’t wait to see what you’re able to do with it.
The most noticeable improvements:
- The new engine is scoped, so you’ll be able to nest and repeat blocks and variables.
- The engine uses a new token parser that will support special syntax for API hooks.
Details after the jump. I seriously can’t wait to start coming up with something… :)
Today, we’ve added two new ways to use tags:
Tags can now be displayed for each post in your theme (see the Custom Theme reference’s new Tags section). You can link to URLs that look like this:
So, this is really cool.
Though I’ve always wished that I could filter by post type: http://gfxcorps.com/filter/music
http://gfxcorps.com/filter/reblogs
http://gfxcorps.com/filter/popular (like, most rebloged or something…)
Instead, I have to go to my dashboard, filter by post type, edit each post individually and tag each so this will work: http://gfxcorps.com/tagged/music
But, it looks like we’re getting there. :)
