Inspirations

Newspapers.

Techniques

Templating the design in Wordpress was dead easy, and I used CSS for all the styling. The graphics were done in the GIMP. The image in the header is a picture of me on the train from NJ to NYC, and the picture in the footer is Domo-kun. The font in the header is Franklin Gothic.

Final Word

For the record, this site is powered by Wordpress. It was built with valid HTML 4.01 Strict and CSS 2.1.
