About Steel Frog

About Steel Frog and the blog

Find out more about the man behind the curtain

My name is Eric. I create awesome blogs, slick websites and write great HTML and CSS. On this blog, I share my ideas with other passionate designers, front-end gurus, techies and gamers alike. I’m currently employed as a full-time web designer for a small Canadian company.

In my off-time, I love to build and fix things. We’ve recently purchased our first home and I’ve been happily getting my hands dirty building a deck, shed, home cinema, speakers and other fun stuff. When I can, I make sure to document my experiences for others to try and write articles on how to duplicate my experiences in a simple, easy to understand format.

As a gamer, you can find me on XBOX Live as Steelfrogg, on PSN as Steelfrog, on Battle.net and MSN at eric@steelfrog.com.

About the blog

Steel Frog.com was registered on November 30th, 2006. The original intent was to create a portfolio site for myself and place a couple of quick tutorials I had written in the past in a centralized location. It naturally evolved into a fully-fledged blog, now running WordPress. Find a bug? Make sure it’s not already in the bug tracker, or report it to me so I can get it fixed!

You’re looking at the seventh revision of the design, with about a dozen un-released designs in between. For the curious, here are some of the previous designs. Unfortunately, I don’t have full-sized screenshots for all of them yet as I need to restore them from an archive.
