The Madness Continues - 9rules

To continue down the road of awesomeness that I’ve been traveling on since November 1 - I’m extremely excited to announce that I’ve been accepted into the 9rules Network!

For those that aren’t in the know - 9rules is a network of websites with an eye for good design and great content. It has a real sense of community and personality, as well as some high profile names in various fields. Needless to say, I’m stoked as shit to be a part of something so great, and to be grouped with those that I admire and look to for inspiration, insight and knowledge is truly flattering.

Once again I must play the humble card. I guess it’s because I’ve only really had people interested in my site from a design standpoint as well as my content for a few weeks now. It really is mind blowing! I honestly did not expect to be accepted - especially after finding out there were 509 sites submitted in a 24 hour window.

Lastly, I have to give a shout out to some of my close friends and family (and also those who have left me feedback on/through this site) - Ryan in particular, who have been filling me with encouragement and kind words these past few weeks. It’s nice to know you have people who believe in you and what you’re doing. So thank you all! I truly appreciate it.

   

I’m a one-stop-shop for killer websites and blogs built on top of the best open source CMS out there, WordPress. Interested in hiring me for your project?

Well done!

From a design standpoint, your site certainly stuck out the most in the other CSS Reboot entries.
