Creating a fixed header region in drupal 7

One of the big web design trends in the last year has been fixed headers. They look great (sometimes) and you can do some really creative things with them. 




Useful jQuery tooltip

While I've been developing my own personal site, I've figured out how to do a lot of cool things with jQuery in the process. I've known how to do tooltips for some time. There are literally dozens of ways you can do them. I wanted the most simple solution that looked good, had minimal changes in my code, and that I could use across any part of the site.

I stumbled on a pretty cool way to do it. Here's how:

HTML

What do I mean by "all-in-one" web development?

I know a lot of people that are web designers. I also know a lot of web developers. It's difficult sometimes to classify myself as either one. I certainly feel like that is plenty of room for improvement in all areas. For the most part, I handle all of my websites totally alone. There are times when a client has provided preliminary designs or wireframes. Sometimes they know exactly what they want. I'd say 75% of the time, clients just know they need a website, and that is as far as they've gotten. They don't know what to call it, what domain name they want, or what they want it to look like.

New Website soft launch

Last night I decided to go ahead and route my domain name to my new website. I've been working on it off and on for about 7 months now. There are so many projects I am involved in right now that I barely have time to work on my own personal projects, including a new CD that I wish I had more time for.

This new website has been done completely in Drupal and is much more complex than any other website I've done for myself. I've done some interesting things with PHP parsing and have really given my CSS skills a workout.
