Hello, everyone.
The other day, you may have noticed that this site moved from freewebs to a fully full fledged full blown server, and is now directly at adamfishercox.com. I had recently re-done the site with a green grass and translucent theme, which was nice, but something about it I didn’t like.
With the move to the new server and a full fledged version of Wordpress, I figured, “why not?” and plunged in to move my site to WordPress, complete with a new design. It isn’t fully finished, but what you see here wont change much. I have made my blog the front page, moving the “the latest” to the sidebar. The rest hasn’t changed too much, but I’m hoping that with WordPress, I will now update the blog and site more.
Please leave thoughts on the new design, my work, my writing, or life in general below. I love reading feedback!

No. No, it doesn’t.
But I have them nonetheless, and they look GREAT. First, a little history.
Back when Leopard was still in development stages, there was a popular thread on the MacNN forums about GUI changes in Leopard. The most argued point was the need for iTunes-style controls in Leopard. If you remember, back in Tiger, iTunes stuck out with a new design. Leopard took the iTunes design, and now it fits in perfectly. But for some reason, Apple decided to keep the glossy bubbly Aqua buttons and scrollbars, while toning down everything else. They stuck out like a sore thumb.
After Leopard arrived, there were attempts to get iTunes scrollbars working on Leopard. Some came pretty close, but noone quite got it right. The best version looked pretty good, but seemed to cause a lot of issues. Plus, it was no picnic to install.
After about two months, I was browsing MacintoshGUI.com, and I found iTunes scrollbars for Leopard. I thought that this was probably the same as the failed attempt at MacNN, and it seemed to be. It looks the same. But the big difference is the the installation is one-click easy. It logs you out and back in, and voila. iTunes scrollbars.
