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!

Hey Tumblr followers! So I was contacted by the awesome guys at Mojo Themes last month and was invited to the developer beta. It’s pretty cool, especially from a developer’s standpoint. Uploading themes is easy and fair – a great experience so far.
Then I took some time to develop an exclusive theme that’s now on sale for $14. You get a sweet (and customizable) theme, a PSD with some free custom icons, and a direct support line to me. Check out LIMON live and purchase it here!
I follow several tumblelogs and that means I don’t always have the time to check back and look at all the posts I’ve missed. That’s why I have bookmarked a handful of sites whose updates I can’t afford to miss. They are perfect examples of what a tumblelog should be: sometimes original content is posted but nevertheless, it’s always thought through, cleaned up and presented neatly. Here are just two:
Ever wonder what a perfect tumblelog is supposed to look like? Matthew’s is it. A beautifully-designed transmission from the deep south that raises the standard of microblogging. Besides the clever design you’ll notice that Matthew thinks through each post, explaining and commenting on it, then organizes it with tags and a unique short url. This serious attention to detail makes it easy to spend hours browsing this wonderful collection of images, videos, links and the like.
Sites like these aren’t built, they’re crafted – for you – so be sure to visit and follow. I can promise you you won’t be let down.
Also, be sure to check out the History section to the right for some useful and memorable posts.
David is a man who knows just what to do if his cat makes too much noise which should be reason enough for you to click that fancy dancy +Follow button, but I’ll give you a few more anyways. 9-Bits always offers good, quick commentary on the latest design and tech news. David is also a wizard of sorts. Proof: jQTouch & WebKitBits. And sometimes, if you’re lucky, he gives stuff away. That’s right, stuff for free.
Not many give back to the online community like David and, well, that’s just awesome. If you like technology, design and all that comes with it you should definitely follow 9-Bits.
Yep, there’s a few others but I’ll save those for later. Happy new year, people!
Hey guys, my new theme, Adaptation, is up on the Theme Garden. Install it here!
By having a theme repository within Tumblr, there are some obvious advantages: (1) There could be access to now-private stats, like what are the browser percentages, and how often does the dashboard user actually read a blog in context? (2) Knowing what has been updated in /custom_themes without having to check it. (3) Cleaner system of reporting bugs.
If only…
This is more annoying.
Happens (sometimes) when I click to zoom, scroll, the click to un-zoom. Eh.
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… :)
This is just a sneek peak for the new site design. Yes, I know I re-design way too often, but this time it will not only be a new design - but a new blogging engine as well.
Tumblr has been great but it’s still in some the early stages of the blogging fundamentals. Some of the missing features that always bothered me were:
Either way, tumblr’s biggest strength is the community. So I will probably still keep the tumblr site up (much like what cameron did), and import my regular posts.
I’ve got the index page completed, now for the sub-pages and EE integration. That means I won’t be making the switch for another 2-3 months (mostly because I procrastinate allot and I’m lazy and school’s starting soon for me).
