Everyone loves a mystery and we are particularly fond of the mystical realms. Around here, there are no secrets. Everything gets laid bare. Stay tuned to the blog if you're into learning about CSS & xHTML, design in general, grabbing an occasional freeby, and learning more about the technologies that go into this site. There will also be whimsical meanderings about a wide variety of yet-to-be-determined topics. Stay tuned to find out what's on my mind.
MailChimp embeds a number of codes by default when you use their pre-generated “embed code”. These scripts are very useful as they allow error-checking, validation, and other custom messages that happen within your MailChimp subscribe box on your website.
