I’m coming off my long hiatus since, well Christmas. I’ve been crazy busy lately, but I have recently been able to catch my breath and check out some great tutorials, blogs, and design inspiration found all around the interwebs.

Geek Week – Web Design, CSS, jQuery, PHP

More geek links for all! this week more great jQuery tutorials, some new ways you can use CSS in CSS3, WordPress galore, and several other great links mixed in for fun. If you like what you see check out my Delicious feed, as I am always running across great links.

jQuery & JavaScript

More and more jQuery. Even though I spend a good portion of the day coding in Flash, I am more interested in what can be accomplished with JavaScript without resorting to Flash.

XHTML & CSS

I can wait until all browsers support CSS3, but untill then we’ll settle for the browsers running WebKit.

PHP

I wish I could run the world on PHP!

WordPress

Great WordPress tutorials here. Most of these I already use, but I always read a new tutorial to see if I could be doing it better.

Design

These tutorials and resources make me want to create my own font for the Star Wars universe!

Misc

More geeky stuff I’m looking at. Matt Brett’s review of Dead Space, some pointers for Flash alpha channel in video, regular expressions, a little competition I’m in, and the new MetricInteractive.com.

JC-V3 a Sneek Peek of the New Site Design

I have been thinking about an new design for some time now. Actually ever since I launched V2. Basically the V2 launch was more of a move to WordPress rather than a well thought out re-design. I found myself rushing through the V2 design because I knew the move to WordPress would be arduous. Thus the design suffered as I focused more on the back end.

The site now is functioning on the back end the way I want it, but does not look and feel how I want my site to look and feel. Thus redesign JC-V3 is born. I still tend to cling to the K.I.S.S. design method. I love grunge sites, but don’t think of myself as a grungy guy. I have noticed a trend lately in a spacey design (not Kevin Spacey). This design captures the space theme as well as some of my favorite colors black, and blue. I also am using lots of PNG images, which give me more freedom in my design.

I do hope you like the design, and if not, I hope you will provide constructive criticism to help me along the way. I have already started the initial XHTML coding of the pages. I plan to screencast the entire process in time lapse of course. Needless to say this is going to be a lot of fun! Thanks to Vaughn and Paul for their help as I bounced ideas off of them, and feed me ego.

-Cheers
