No, the exclamation mark is not due to a mild form of hysteria or anything, I am actually happy and relieved to have finished my portfolio site as I have to say, the hardest and fussiest web design client I’ve ever worked for is myself. I’ve spent long hours coming up with different design styles and concepts, many very complex and graphically intensive. It’s slightly ironic that I’ve settled for a very simple and restrained design, but I think this approach places the focus on the content more than the site itself, which is a definate plus for a portfolio site.

Now I’ve got the means to do so, I’m going to start writing some articles about web design. I’ve learnt a thing or two about the practice of web design over the last year or so, and much of it is thanks to designers like Chris Coyier, Adii, Darren Hoyt, and Elliot Jay Stocks.

So it’s only fair that I share some of my knowledge, hopefully to help out people who are in the position I was about a year ago. I’ll be writing about the pitfalls of CSS, Internet Explorer (you could write a thesis on that), Wordpress, and a bunch of other things that might take your interest.
