    Nearing the end of one process and starting another

    I see the light at the end of the tunnel, but know there’s another tunnel immediately after. Such is the life of a coder I guess. At any rate, it feels really good to know I’m coming to the end of a process I began back in December of last year and to see the…

    Finishing the tablets and heading for mobile

    So formatting the theme for tablets turned out to be way easier than what I was anticipating. Essentially all I had to do with it was divide the sidebar into two and put it under the main post area. Also, I moved the social icons to under the header and had to eliminate one of…

    So it’s been a while. Actually that’s an understatement. It’s been about two months since I last touched the Nuovo theme, mostly because this semester has been killer.
