I've officially started up my independent web development side-business. I am hoping to bring quite a few small businesses into the present with a simple, cost-effective package that provides them with a presence on the web.

The package is a really great deal; for $250.00 the clients get up to six pages with a custom theme, a free year of hosting on my VPS, and free domain registration for a year.

Regurgitating old web techniques seems to be somewhat of a trend I've fallen into recently, but as I see questions and non-existent usage of these important and basic techniques I feel obligated to help spread the word once again.

Here are a couple of great articles explaining what CSS sprites are, their purpose, makeup, and why no site has a reason to NOT be using this technique aside from laziness ( which is why my blog doesn't use them, <3 Wordpress ).

Save the Pandas, take the bus, stick to w3 standards! Ah, who am I kidding.
