… the site:

• Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional
• Valid CSS
• Powered by WordPress
• Heavy use of PNGs with transparency effects. For Internet Explorer 6 users, I’m sorry I haven’t instituted the fix for the browser yet. A victim to my analytics!
• Uses no tables for site layout and there aren’t any hidden spacer.gif’s lurking about.
• Currently isn’t accessibility friendly. Main focus with this design was to experiment with some techniques.
• Texture background created using various brushes from:
  • Abstract Smudge Brushes by FortuneGfx
  • Abstract Splash Brushes by rce-ordinary
  • Ultimate Brush Pack #4 by axeraider70
• Fonts (logo, nav links and sidebar header graphics)
  • Logo – Ruach
  • Nav links and sidebar headings – Banshee
• zuru zuru is a Japanese onomatopoeia to convey the sound of feet dragging on tatami mats, or just dragging in general, which can symbolize indecisiveness. This symbolism kind of matches how I’ve been going through life.
